(They do other things right don’t write in.) I am not particularly clingy when it comes to TV shows - I appreciate and even endorse some #save_ campaigns, but I never get too worked up even over the end of series I love. Its cancellation is still mentioned, often alongside that of “Bunheads,” to signify what it is that ABC Family doesn’t do right. The series, which is still available on DVD (though not, as far as I could discover, to stream), was a sunny thing with dark corners, a sci-fi parody that itself worked as actual science-fiction. Or as TV Wendy says in “The Crowd-Funded Franchise Resurrection” when she meets her double (read by Amber Benson, Tara on “Buffy the Vampire Slayer”), “Bizarro White-Chick Me in a belly shirt and unconscionably tight pants? Mirror universe? Again?” Most obvious of these is the fact that where, in the original comic, heroine Wendy Watson was a Caucasian redhead, in the series she was a dark-haired Latina, played by Natalie Morales. Zanker, existed wholly in the world established by the TV show, the new script is rooted in the story’s double existence on page and screen - the “economical, creator-owned sequential reality” and the “canonical but corporate-owned reality,” as expressed here - and the differences between them.

(Comics, of course, are the movies, or television series, of the print world, just as movies and TV shows are the comics of the … movie and TV world.)ĭescribed by Grillo-Marxuach as “comic-book Volume 5, TV show episode 14,” “The Crowd-Funded Franchise Resurrection” follows the no-longer series-concluding episode 13, “The Doomsday Armageddon Apocalypse,” also produced as a graphic novel and also given a cast-reunion table read, in 2009 at San Diego’s Comi-Con. (Pledges nearly doubled the stated $37,000 goal one perk was a ticket to the reading, which was videotaped for those who couldn’t attend.) Given that the comic, written by Grillo-Marxuach and illustrated by Les McClaine, began as the script for a TV pilot, it is natural and fitting that the series - canceled after one excellent but unappreciated season - would return as a comic. It was the first expression of “The Crowd-Funded Franchise Resurrection,” a successful Indiegogo campaign whose ultimate goal is not merely the creation of the aforementioned comic, but to bring earlier “Middleman” comics back into print. bits that tantalize people and make them want to buy the book.” I would think don’t tape the whole thing for YouTube, but fragments are good. “Spoilers are OK,” “Middleman” creator Javier Grillo-Marxuach (author recently of a much-discussed essay, “Finding the Next Lost: What Is an ‘Operational Theme’ and Why Don’t I Have One?”) told the crowd at the Downtown Independent theater.

For the space of an hour and change, the late 2008 ABC Family television series about a pair of non-superhuman heroes protecting the world from a smorgasbord of aliens, monsters, mythological creatures and evil geniuses occupied real space in real time, as its cast and writers gathered for a table-reading of the script to a new graphic-novel adventure, “The Pan-Universal Parental Reconciliation.”
