Boom Studios announced at New York Comic Con that it has licensed the rights to publish comics based on the Farscape television series from the Jim Henson Company.  The comics will be published in four-issue miniseries, each of which will be collected into graphic novels.  The first series will launch later this year. 

 

No talent has been announced for the first miniseries; Boom! sales and marketing director Chip Mosher told ICv2 that “people will be surprised” by the talent on the books.

 

Farscape will be gaining some increased visibility via Webisodes on SciFi.com, which will be produced by the Jim Henson Company in association with RHI Entertainment.  Farscape executive producer Brian Henson and series creator Rockne S. O’Bannon will re-unite in the creation of the Webisodes.
