These TV shows may have ended, but they lived on in comics -- and the comics rival anything on the small screen.
It’s an unfortunate truth about entertainment: television shows end. Sometimes, shows end because they’ve run their small-screen course. Other times, they’re cancelled too soon, leaving fans to wonder what comes next for the characters and storylines they’ve become invested in.
For a great many of shows, the series finale is truly the end of the line. but every so often there’s more to be said and what should be the end is really merely a chapter and there’s much more story to tell.For those shows, that sometimes means a continuation on the pages of comics. One of the most recent examples of this is. The fan-favorite sci-fi series was cancelled by Amazon after six total seasons but with plenty more story to tell and last year,. But while the graphic novel didn’t necessarily live entirely up to expectations, there are some comics continuations of shows that are actually quite good — and almost better than the original shows themselves.s helped fill in some of the gaps from the original animated series while also incorporating characters that were never used in the animated series. On the whole,really helped not only continue the adventures, as its name suggests, but really fleshed out the overall mythos and world of the DCAU.so good is that it’s done by the producers of the original animated series, Paul Dini and Alan Burnett as well as Ty Templeton, who worked on other comics inspired byhas a strange history. The CBS series debuted in 2006 and followed the residents of a fictional Kansas small town dealing with an unexpected nuclear war that has cut them off from the rest of the world. However, despite initial buzz, it was cancelled after one season, prompted a huge fan campaign that got it renewed for a second season, only to then be cancelled again with a lot of story left to tell. And that’s where comics stepped in.got two more seasons on the pages of comics thanks to IDW in 2009 and 2012 . Season 3 picked up the show’s cliffhanger ending and pushes the story further, wrapping up the storylines from the series including revealing how the nuclear attacks in Season 1 came about, while Season 4 pulled things a bit further together while leaving some plot points for future stories to exist. It’s a rare case where the show creators and writers got to work out the ideas they had for the television series and is a great supplement for fans.ended after five seasons on a cliffhanger it was frustrating for fans who would have liked some closure. Fortunately, they got it with. The IDW series was written by Bryan Lynch and plotted with series creator Joss Whedon, making the events of the comic a true, canonical continuation.so great is that it isn’t just a short series to wrap things up. While the series began as a 12-issue limited series, that expanded to 17 issues and then turned into a full-on ongoing series. It ultimately ran for 44 total issues and fully gave the series new life and depth. What is also interesting aboutr. Published by Dark Horse, the series was created by Joss Whedon, who actually wrote some of the series along with a number of other writers. The comic series was very faithful to the series and was able to get a little darker than the television series ever could, but that actually in some ways makes it almost better than the television show. The success ofended after 10 seasons, there was one thing that left fans just a little bit disappointed about the end of the long-running series: they didn’t really get to see Tom Welling’s Clark Kent really be Superman. Fortunately, comics came to the rescue. The DC Comics published series maintained the continuity ofThe series finally gave fans a chance to see this particular take on Superman in action and even brought in other characters from the show, uniquely blending them with the more mainstream DC Comics versions. It made for a great way to continue the series as well as deliver to fans the one thing they really wanted making it the best of both worlds.Get access to exclusive stories on new releases, movies, shows, comics, anime, games and more!
