Good news: Revolution is coming back. Bad news (depending on how you look at it): It's via a comic book. But take heart in knowing you will get an ending, Revolution fans!
The entire creative team behind the series—Eric Kripke, J.J. Abrams, Bryan Burk, Rockne S. O'Bannon and Jon Favreau—teamed to create the four-chapter DC Comics series to resolve the Revolution storyline. Revolution writers David Reed and Ryan Parrott wrote the series with art by Angel Hernandez.
The digital comic begins on May 4. Each chapter will debut on ComicBook.com for one week before making their way to the official Revolution Facebook page. Chapter 1 hits the Internet on Monday, May 4, Chapter 2 follows on Monday, May 8, Chapter 3 on Monday, June 1 and Chapter 4 on Monday, June 15.
Kripke, the creator and executive producer of Revolution, released this letter to fans.
"Dear Revolutionaries, Patriots, and Soldiers of the Monroe Militia,
So first of all—thank you. Seriously. Sincerely. The loyalty you've shown Revolution these past months has been touching and overwhelming—it's meant more to me than you'll ever know. And in case you were wondering—yes, we've been listening. We've read the tweets. We've seen the incredible petition. We've followed #RelocateRevolution. Please know that you've been heard.
And solely because of your efforts, we wanted to pay you back—to give you something fantastic. And while, unfortunately, we simply can't make more episodes of the show (alas, there are financial realities we can't overcome), we can do the next best thing. Which is end the story. On our terms. Exactly the way we would have.
So J.J., Jon and I are pleased and proud to announce the Revolution endgame: a four-issue series coming soon from DC Comics. If you take a look at the attached photo, you'll see that we brought back the entire writing staff to work on it. The band's back together! (And if you study the photo closely, you'll notice a certain young, plucky Matheson who also joined us). Everyone has generously agreed to work for little or no money. They're doing it, because like you, they're passionate about this story and want to see it end correctly.
So stay tuned. We've got lots of work to do. We'll keep you posted—in the coming months, you can expect more details, sneak peeks, and early artwork. But Miles, Monroe, Rachel, Charlie, Aaron, Neville and the rest will return for the epic finale to the Revolution storyline. We hope you're as excited as we are.
And again—thank you. This is because of you. This is for you.
Much love,
Kripke"
