Damn that is awesome. Dunno whether to take this news as indication that Season 2 is definitely happening or this comics will just take the place of what they would have done for the show. But I'll take what I can.
Since it is only a four-issue run, I kind of want to lean toward this being a segue of sorts from Season 1 to 2. And if 2 doesn't happen, then I guess it becomes a follow-up comic.
Yeah if this had been written by one of the writers on the show it might have indicated this as being a replacement for Season 2. As it is, at least this comic won't be throwing any five-minute clip shows at us, haha.
