List of comics based on unproduced film projects

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.
