Fans of the ill-fated CBS series Jericho were devastated when the network canceled the show for the second (and final) time in less than a year, but the fan favorite is returning to the canvas -- as a comic book series.
The comic book series will be produced by Devil’s Due Publishing (DDP), picking up where the series left off. The original creative team from the television show will help develop the comic book series, and they plan to answer all of those burning questions that where never addressed when the lights went out in Jericho for the last time.
"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.The comic book series is expected to hit shelves this fall. Will you buy the comics when they come out or have you moved on from Jericho? Post your comments below....
"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."

I will be definitely be buying the Jericho comic book. I love comic books and hope this helps bring the Jericho more fans, a movie to the big screen… and the show back to the tv. I miss this show, its cast and crew.
I will buy Jericho comic books and buy tickets to the Jericho Movie in development!
I will buy the comic, and still hold out for the movie and Season 3.
No way to move on from Jericho, the show is far too good for that.
NO TRUE FAN of JERICHO will ever move on! I myself am looking forward to purchasing every issue of the forthcoming comic series and I will the first in line to see the movie in development and I, like my fellow rangers, will continue to fight for season 3 and beyond! JERICHO LIVES!
comic books hmmm, hopefully they will be posted online like the Hero ones. I cant see myself buying it but the Jericho movie —- now we are talking!!!
Absolutely! I stopped buying comic books years ago, but will make exception for Jericho, my second favorite series of all time (after ‘24′)
Maybe I’ll buy the comic book. I really like the movie. I will be glad to see a third series. Like the last comment Jericho is my second favorite after 24.
