List of comics based on unproduced film projects

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of comics based on unproduced film projects, listed chronologically by the comic's publication date.

Original versions of produced scripts

[edit]

Often during development of film projects, the screenwriter's original concepts are rewritten or abandoned, and the "original" script is adapted as a comic.

Continuations of canceled TV series

[edit]

In some cases, a TV series is canceled even though further episodes had already been written, and the unproduced stories are produced as comics.

  • The 2006 series Jericho was canceled after two seasons, ending with a cliffhanger episode. The prepared story lines were adapted and published as a comic series and collected as the graphic novel Jericho Season 3: Civil War. The series continued with Jericho Season 4.
  • When The Clone Wars was canceled, there were 65 more episodes in development. One 4-episode arc was adapted into the comic series Darth Maul: Son of Dathomir.
  • Buffy the Vampire Slayer was cancelled after 7 seasons. It continued with Season 8 being adapted into comics.
