Do you remember a show called Pushing Daisies by Bryan Fuller starring Lee Pace and Anna Friel that was adorable, poignant, and allowed us all an interesting look at what in our leaves we need to appreciate most through bright colors, clever filmography, and quirky dialogue? BECAUSE I DO. And I’m still sore about it! So I guess it’s a good thing that Fuller is producing a comic that will be released on DC Comics.
Fuller had this to say:
“Issue number 1 will hopefully be out in early 2011, issue number 2 is being colored as we speak, and issue number 3 is being written. Our Emmy-award-winning composer Jim Dooley and I have been talking about giving the audience a multimedia experience with the comic–specifically a score. We have no idea whether we can actually afford to do an actual Pushing Daisies comic soundtrack (because the cast has agreed to sing songs and those licensing fees are expensive), but Jim has already started composing musical cues that we will either release officially or stream for freesies online when the comic book is published. I’ve already heard the track for Lee Pace’s cover ditty and it’s fantastic.”
Now – there WAS an online comic, but it’s no longer online at ABC.com. So one can hope that this will see reprinting. But I can’t help but remember – all of DC’s licensed work came out on Wildstorm. So how exactly is this going to come out on DC? I know that they’ve mentioned that their licensed work will still be coming out, but does the WS shutdown effect this at all? I would certainly hope (and to be honest, assume) not. Either way, I would LOVE to see this comic come to life, because the series ended on a cliffhanger that makes me want to cry just thinking about it.
