Wow. I am amazed. I really liked Jericho. I was bummed when it was canceled, happy when it got brought back, and bummed again when it was canceled for good.
The 7 episode second season ended the story arc but set up so much more that was left untouched.

Any Jericho fans here?
Once you get past the liberal fantasy of everything bad in the world is a government conspiracy angle, it really is pretty good.

Good job DDP! Just don't cancel the series after 3 issues!

I really liked it.
Funny thing is I never saw a single episode on at a regular time. Its like they never advertised it until it was over and the locals would move it around or just drop it. It actually happens fairly often where I live the major networks are constantly being messed up by the local broadcasters. They have actually broadcast middle school and high school sports in prime-time before.
I ended up watching the whole series in a two day marathon just before or after it was canceled.

I'll have to check that out. The show was pretty good...
Is there a preview up?

"Devil's Due Publishing and CBS Consumer Products Give New Life to Fan-Favorite TV Series Jericho With New Comic Book Series"

CHICAGO - March 5, 2009 - Devil's Due Publishing (DDP) has announced a deal with CBS Consumer Products to publish a new comic book series tied to fan-favorite Jericho, the one-hour drama series that garnered critical acclaim and ran on CBS for two seasons, from 2006-2008. The series centered on the residents of the fictional town of Jericho, Kansas in the aftermath of nuclear attacks on 23 major cities in the contiguous United States. The comic book series will pick up where the television program left off, answering many questions for its passionate fans. DDP has teamed up with the show's creators and producers to develop an authentic story that will hit comic book retailers this fall.

Jericho fans are some of the most dedicated in the world of television. In 2007, devotees to the show produced by CBS Paramount Network Television rallied together to bring back the fan-favorite which was initially cancelled after just one season. The show returned for a seven-episode second season, but was not renewed for a third season. While fans received a little more closure with the end of season two, there were still loose ends that could be addressed.

"Jericho is alive and well, thanks to the amazing fans who've driven us to find new and fresh ways to tell the Jericho story," says Dan Shotz, Co-Executive Producer of Jericho. "Josh Blaylock and the DDP team are great partners and have shown a true love for our show. We are so thrilled about this comic book series and the endless possibilities for the future of Jericho."

Joining Shotz in developing the comic book will be most of the original creative team including Jon Turteltaub, Carol Barbee, Karim Zreik, and Jon Steinberg.

"I can't tell you how cool it is for DDP to be able to continue the Jericho story in comic book form," says DDP President Josh Blaylock. "We plan to give fans the story they've been craving. This is going to be epic stuff."

I really liked the show, but after canceling it after Season 1...and the fans showed support only to get a pathetic short Season 2, I'm happy to see that DDP will (hopefully) continue this interesting idea with great stories.

Not sure how many of you watched the show when it was on CBS...but I guess not too many people watched it since the rating were low enough to kill it. lol

Oh, and I find it funny how Newsarama (A site just for COMIC NEWS) is FIVE days late in reporting this! Would they be even more than a day late with Marvel/DC news? HELL NO!

I think that late Reporting and almost no advertising is par for the course when it comes to Jericho. I didn't hear about it until it was resurrected by the fans. Then by the time I got into it, it was canceled again.



(By the way this topic has all ready been started at http://www.joereloaded.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=4435)

I looked around the forum for a topic...but didn't look in the Military section since I didn't think Jericho would be Military...even though it was some in it.

You can delete this Phil since it's a duplicate.

Or I can merge the two...yeah...admin rights.

Better yet Hebime...don''t cancel it after issue #0. I only saw a few episodes of season 1 in repeats on Sci Fi and I watched all of season 2. I was going to pick up the season 1 dvds if I could catch them on sale, but they never dipped to the $20 and under sale price that Target does on older dvds. I would have got it for that price. I'll sample the comic, but DDP is getting bad at getting product out and canceling them before finishing them. Voltron, Dragonlance, ect.

Heh, I figured DDP has gotten their licks around here, so I was swinging at the TV people.
But yeah.

One look over at any Jericho fan site and they are all doing a happy dance, but none are aware of DDP's recent troubles.
Otherwise they would be rolling their eyes and going 'Here we go again...'

I'm a bit out of the loop with DDP...what recent troubles?

Staff layoffs and from the looks of it to me trimming back on some of their releases. I think they only solicated 3 books last month and a couple of tradepaperbacks. Tim Seeley has even been doing some art at Marvel. Hack/Slash is still coming out although so I think he was let go as staff artist. Stuff like that...
