Pushing Daisies May Continue As Comic

Acclaimed but canceled series Pushing Daisies may follow the path of shows such as Angel that continued their TV plots in comic form.

Series creator Bryan Fuller told Sci Fi Wire he’s talking to Marvel about such a deal. Fuller confirmed the writers’ strike hit his show especially hard. He mentioned that during the 1988 strike TV shows lost an average of 30 percent of their viewers. Last year’s strike cost shows about 20 percent. Fuller said other factors included being off the air for 10 months and the timeslot.

He even said they’d have taken the infamous Friday 9 p.m. slot that almost no one wants. I don’t know, that hasn’t done Dollhouse
too many favors. But at least Fuller will get to finish telling the story. Now I’ve got another comic to pick up. Auuagh! Pull list – getting- too heavy! And expensive.
