Jericho Continues!! (sort of!!!)

It will be in comic book format. Click this link to read a very nice blog entry about it.

I especially enjoyed this show for reasons you might not expect of me. Yes, it does fall into the realm of scifi (post-apocalyptic), which is a favorite genre of mine. However, it had other features which particularly endeared it to me:

  1. They didn't flinch at killing off main characters.
  2. While some fantastic things happen, what you mostly see are how regular people, with regular issues, deal with a horrific situation.
  3. The difficulties faced often raised very relevant concepts that have lately lost value in our world: honor, patriotism, sacrifice, to name a few.
So, although "only" in comic book format, I'm thrilled to see Jericho return.
