Sneak Peek: "Pushing Daisies" Comic

Pie and a comic book?

Only a few more days to go to Comic-Con and, while I've already seen the pilot for ABC's Pushing Daisies about a zillion times (check out a new promo here), I cannot wait to attend the Q&A panel after the pilot screening with the cast and crew of Warner Bros. Television's new drama.

Along with giving out pie to the first 300 attendees (the pie is an in-joke that those of you familiar with the series will already get), Warner Bros. has unveiled the cover (shown left, thanks to the good folks at Warner Bros. Television) for the comic book companion to Bryan Fuller's super-saturated supernatural drama Pushing Daisies.

It's a Comic-Con exclusive, which means you can only get the Pushing Daisies comic book next week in San Diego at the Warner Bros.' booth.

Supplies, as they say, will be extremely limited so be sure to drop by and get your Pushing Daisies comic before they're gone!

I SOOO want one of these. Can I get in line now?

Get in line behind me, Wes. Do we know if this is going to be based on the pilot eppie or whether it is a standalone story with the PD characters? Either way I want a copy.

Can you get this if your not going to Comic Con? I want one and its not fair that you have to go there to get it.

So giving away at the booth only or also at the panel?

What about everyone not able to go to Comicon even if we want to, how do we get a copy of the comic?! Not fair.

Why is it not fair? It's a Comic-Con exclusive, so if you want it you have to go to Comic-Con. I don't understand what's so hard to understand about that.

Not everyone can go to Comicon and are still interested in the show and the comic book. Why shouldn't any fan of the show be able to get the comic book? What's so hard to understand about that? Maybe the premiere of the show only should be aired in NY and everyone who wants to see it has to go there. It's just stupid.

So... you're saying that if an event was giving out gift bags to people attending, you'd feel you were entitled to one even though you didn't attend? I fail to see your logic at all.

As for your specious "analogy" about the show only airing in New York, that's ridiculous. We're talking about a promotional tie-in for a series that's being handed out at a promotional event/convention. Did you think you should have gotten a CW t-shirt last year when the network promotional team was touring the country?

Anonymous,
I'm sorry I have to agree with Owen. It would be hard to give this out for free to every fan who wanted one.
As for you, if you really want one I'll try to pick up an extra one and then you can buy it from me.
Or check eBay.

Like Cinemaniac said...if you want one badly enough I'm sure you can find it on eBay.

The comic is such a fun idea. I really hope this show makes it. It's one of the few original pilots out there.

I agree with Owen too. This is a promotional give-away. If you want one that desperately, I am sure you can find it online. Or go to Comic-Con yourself and get one. Those are your options, Anon.

okay see... here's what is not fair... what about the fans that live in Europe? I can't just fly over to attend the comic-con! you know what that would cost me? but I still want the copy of that comic... they have to create it soon... I'm in love with they way they drew Olive! She rocks :D

Damn - I am going to be on the wrong coast this weekend. I guess I will just have to steal yours, Jace.

Expelliarmus!

(Sorry, spent all weekend reading Harry Potter...)

There's an EXTREMELY limited run with an alternate cover drawn by none other than Tim Sale... and it's beautiful. You didn't hear that from me.

To answer Maggie's question, the book covers some back story for the pilot, and sets up a new story that will be followed in books to come.

A t-shirt is not the same thing, at all. This is a comic that ties in with the show. It's part of promoting the show, but why not promote it even further and make the comic available for those who want it. I'm not asking for a free copy, I want to buy it and support the show (and not overly priced on eBay).

It's not a stupid comparison with the show airing in only one city, if you don't live there or can go there - you miss out on a part of the story. Same thing with the comic book. That's what's ridiculous. You don't miss out on the story with a t-shirt.

And there's more comics to come?
The CineManiac said…
I got two copies of each of the covers. Can't wait to read it!
And the Tim Sale cover kicks some serious tale!
Jace Lacob said…
Yep, I got my two copies...with both the original Pushing Daisies cover and the Tim Sale variant and have read it. Nicely sets up two separate stories. More to come on that front...

What's Done is Done: The Eternal Struggle Between Good and Evil on the Season Finale of "Lost"

Every story begins with thread. It's up to the storyteller to determine just how much they need to parcel out, what pattern they're making, and when to cut it short and tie it off. With last night's penultimate season finale of Lost ("The Incident, Parts One and Two"), written by Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse, we began to see the pattern that Lindelof and Cuse have been designing towards the last five seasons of this serpentine series. And it was only fitting that the two-hour finale, which pushes us on the road to the final season of Lost , should begin with thread, a loom, and a tapestry. Would Jack follow through on his plan to detonate the island and therefore reset their lives aboard Oceanic Flight 815 ? Why did Locke want to kill Jacob? What caused The Incident? What was in the box and just what lies in the shadow of the statue? We got the answers to these in a two-hour season finale that didn't quite pack the same emotional wallop of previous season

Pilot Inspektor: CBS' "Smith"

I may just have to change my original "What I'll Be Watching This Fall" post, as I sat down and finally watched CBS' new crime drama Smith this weekend. (What? It's taken me a long time to make my way through the stack of pilot DVDs.) While it's on following Gilmore Girls and Veronica Mars on Tuesday nights (10 pm ET/PT, to be exact), I'm going to be sure to leave enough room on my TiVo to make sure that I catch this compelling, amoral drama. While one can't help but be impressed by what might just be the most marquee-friendly cast in primetime--Ray Liotta, Virginia Madsen, Jonny Lee Miller, Amy Smart, Simon Baker, and Franky G all star and Shohreh Aghdashloo has a recurring role--the pilot's premise alone earned major points in my book: it's a crime drama from the point of view of the criminals, who engage in high-stakes heists. But don't be alarmed; it's nothing like NBC's short-lived Heist . Instead, think of it as The Italian

The Daily Beast: "How The Killing Went Wrong"

While the uproar over the U.S. version of The Killing has quieted, the show is still a pale imitation of the Danish series on which it is based. Over at The Daily Beast, you can read my latest feature, "How The Killing Went Wrong," in which I look at how The Killing has handled itself during its second season, and compare it to the stunning and electrifying original Danish series, Forbrydelsen , on which it is based. (I recently watched all 20 episodes of Forbrydelsen over a few evenings.) The original is a mind-blowing and gut-wrenching work of genius. It’s not necessary to rehash the anger that followed in the wake of the conclusion last June of the first season of AMC’s mystery drama The Killing, based on Søren Sveistrup’s landmark Danish show Forbrydelsen, which follows the murder of a schoolgirl and its impact on the people whose lives the investigation touches upon. What followed were irate reviews, burnished with the “burning intensity of 10,000 white-hot suns
