Per E Online, DC Comics agreed to issue at least 12 issues of a "Pushing Daisies" comic series that will follow the continuity of the television show.
Yes, the Pushing Daisies comics are coming, and although original reports had the show wrapping its storyline with Marvel, Pushing Daisies mastermind Bryan Fuller tells us exclusively, "We got a 12-issue order for a comic book for DC Comics. I think the comic book is great, because it has all the characters in it, and it starts a new story. It's basically Chuck, Ned, Emerson and Olive versus 1,000 corpses, so it becomes a zombie movie, but the zombies are articulate and smart and can do things that no other zombies can do. The Pie-Maker versus 1,000 corpses."
Look for the book this fall, but this summer, Comic-Con attendees may get a special treat. Says Bryan, "We're hoping that we'll have artwork as a giveaway at Comic-Con at the DC booth."
There's also a good chance the first 12 issues aren't the last you'll see of the Pie-Maker's adventures. Bryan tells us, "I literally just finished outlining the 12-episode arc, which has an ending that propels us into another big story, so it's kind of blackmailing them into ordering more comics, but we'll see if that'll happen. We were unable to blackmail ABC, and we had to go back and redo our [television] ending, so it's more satisfying for the fans."
