REVOLUTION DIGITAL COMIC BOOK TO DEBUT IN MAY

FROM WARNER BROS. TELEVISION AND DC COMICS

Four Separate Chapters Will Resolve Series Storylines

For Fans Beginning May 4th

BURBANK, CA (April 15, 2015) — Fans of the Warner Bros. Television series Revolution, which ended a two-year run on NBC in May 2014, are going to get a resolution to the show’s storylines that were left open-ended in the final broadcast episode.

In response to passionate fan efforts to revive the show, the entire creative team behind the series — including executive producers Eric Kripke, J.J. Abrams, Bryan Burk, Rockne S. O’Bannon and Jon Favreau — regrouped to create a special four-chapter digital comic book with DC Comics that will serve to continue and ultimately resolve the adventures last seen in Revolution’s second season finale.

Revolution writers David Reed and Ryan Parrott handled the writing duties of the digital comic’s four chapters, after breaking the story in the writers’ room along with the rest of the Revolution creative team, which included Kripke, O’Bannon, Paul Grellong, David Rambo, Trey Callaway, Anne Cofell Saunders, Ben Edlund, Matt Pitts and Jim Barnes. A photo of the team at work on the digital comic, along with a special guest who fans will recognize, can be seen here.

Illustrated by DC Comics’ artist Angel Hernandez, each of the four separate digital chapters will also have a specially designed cover, and will roll out every two weeks beginning Monday, May 4. A sneak peek at three of the illustrated Revolution characters — Charlie Matheson, Miles Matheson and Sebastian Monroe — can be seen here.

The four chapters will each be debuting exclusively on www.ComicBook.com for one week before being made available for viewing on Revolution’s Facebook page at www.facebook.com/Revolution. Fans can also use the #RevolutionComic hashtag on Twitter to find out more information about the digital comic.

Here is the rollout schedule for each chapter on www.ComicBook.com:

Chapter 1 - Monday, May 4
Chapter 2 - Monday, May 18
Chapter 3 - Monday, June 1
Chapter 4 - Monday, June 15

Revolution creator/executive producer Eric Kripke had this message for fans regarding the digital comic:

Dear Revolutionaries, Patriots, and Soldiers of the Monroe Militia,

So first of all—thank you. Seriously. Sincerely. The loyalty you’ve shown REVOLUTION these past months has been touching and overwhelming—it’s meant more to me than you’ll ever know. And in case you were wondering—yes, we’ve been listening. We’ve read the tweets. We’ve seen the incredible petition. We’ve followed #RelocateRevolution. Please know that you’ve been heard.

"Revolution: The Power of Entertainment"And solely because of your efforts, we wanted to pay you back—to give you something fantastic. And while, unfortunately, we simply can’t make more episodes of the show (alas, there are financial realities we can’t overcome), we can do the next best thing. Which is end the story. On our terms. Exactly the way we would have.

So J.J., Jon and I are pleased and proud to announce the REVOLUTION endgame: a four-issue series coming soon from DC Comics. If you take a look at the attached photo, you’ll see that we brought back the entire writing staff to work on it. The band’s back together! (And if you study the photo closely, you’ll notice a certain young, plucky Matheson who also joined us). Everyone has generously agreed to work for little or no money. They’re doing it, because like you, they’re passionate about this story and want to see it end correctly.

So stay tuned. We’ve got lots of work to do. We’ll keep you posted—in the coming months, you can expect more details, sneak peeks, and early artwork. But Miles, Monroe, Rachel, Charlie, Aaron, Neville and the rest will return for the epic finale to the REVOLUTION storyline. We hope you’re as excited as we are.

And again—thank you. This is because of you. This is for you.

Much love,
Kripke

I saw this, I just don't know if I am interested enough to pick it up. I honestly don't remember how the second season wrapped up.

It ended with them all gong to a new city where the lifeform was in control.
it also freed one or more of the bad guys.

This will be worth reading if you liked the show at all.
I wasnt a big fan of the show, but curious about this.

I want to see what it is like to see a show ended in a comic done by original writers.
that has never been done, and they did it  not for money.

I would love to see this done with Tscc.
Thanks for posting.

Cool, thanks for the reminder. I really liked the fist season, I lost interest in the second.

That's funny, for me it was quite the opposite. I didn't care much until the end of season 1 and got more interested during season 2.
I'm still curious now, how this story might end, so maybe I'll take a look at those comics too.

1) I disagree. Though I'd love to see a TV or movie continuation for TSCC, anything below that would not be enough for me. Then I'd prefer that open ending.
The difference to Revolution here is, that I cared and still care much more for TSCC than for shows like Revolution, so when a comic would be ok for me with Revolution, it's definitely not enough for a beloved show like TSCC.

2) You're welcome ...
