New Stargate Atlantis comics??

Dynamite Entertainment has announced that it has acquired the comic book rights to all three Stargate series. A $1.00 Stargate #0, featuring sample chapters from each series, will precede Stargate Universe, by writer Chuck Dixon and artist John Watson, Stargate Atlantis, by Doug Murray, and the flagship title, Stargate SG-1, written by Brandon Jerwa. The Atlantis and SG-1 series will be direct continuations of the TV series starting at “season six” for the former and “season eleven” for the latter. The blanks in the creative teams should be filled in shortly (maybe at Comic-Con?) and you’d better believe that Pop Culture Zoo will be bringing you any and all info as it is announced!

I'll definitely check out the SGA ones to see what's going on!

Okay this is exciting!

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Hopefully more news will come out at con.

Just when I'm wanting to cut back on my comic book spending.

I'll check it out when it comes out, but to be honest, I'm not feeling too excited. I do hope that whoever Doug Murray is, he'll keep the McKay/Keller to a minimum.

Hope so too!

And hoping that they won't stick exclusively to that "season six" declaration. I'd like to see some "lost missions" from the earlier years with Weir, Beckett and Ford. :(

[karaotter.livejournal.com]

That'd be pretty cool, actually. And now I'm wondering whether it will be an actual series with separate arcs that make up the whole, or more like a mini series where they release stories in six issue chunks without actually connecting the stories together, which is what they seem to do with comic versions of things.

[the-scary-kitty.livejournal.com]

Yes, I'd definitely prefer the miniseries arc format as well. It would open the comic up to a wider variety of stories from all points in the series timeline, which one would think would be more attractive to the writers working on the comic. ;)

YAY!

Rodney in comic form makes me all squishy inside

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Ha! I'd say Sheppard does the same for me :)

[mercury973.livejournal.com]

And together...imagine the squish!

I'm so excited. There's more about it here (http://www.newsarama.com/comics/070920-DynamiteStargate.html).

So now, it's Fandemonium: books, Big Finish: audiobooks and DE: comic books. Awesome. It does feel a tiny, tiny bit like the show didn't end. Especially since I don't hold any hope anymore that they will actually film the SGA movie...

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the PR link. Oh taht reminds me, must do my next batch of Big Finish orders!

[katikat.livejournal.com]

I'm especially looking forward to Impressions read by Kavan Smith!

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Oh yup, Kavan's got a great voice!

[monkey-junkey.livejournal.com]

I just hope this isn't a way for MGM to worm out of doing the movies. I know it's unlikely since the scripts have been written and everything, but the article's wording concerns me.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

I would think the comics are totally independent of the movie, just like the novels are.

[vida-boheme.livejournal.com]

Sounds good :D Well, as long as "direct continuations of the TV series starting at “season six” doesn't translate to "The Adventures of Super Keller"

nononononononononononoooooooooooooooooooo

[tashirasbubble.livejournal.com]

oooh - I wonder if I'll be able to get hold of these in the UK...at least this might fill a bit of the mega hole that SGA has left behind....like most, I'm not holding out much hope for the movie :(

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Alas, I'm not holding my breath on a movie :( I am hoping they'll have decent comics (let the fans write!)

[timespirt.livejournal.com]

I'd like to be kept in the loop about the SGA Comics. I collected the only ones they put out for SGA and waited for more to no avail!

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Heh, well, I only collect the SGA comics too so I'll keep ya in the loop as I find out info :)

[timespirt.livejournal.com]

I would appreciate that. Sometimes things are hard to get if you don't get them when they come out. Found that out with the SG-1 comics because they were so erratic in the publishing. Even the SGA ones were erratic.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Yup, I found that out too!
