Apparently there are talks of finishing the Carnivàle story in comic book form. (Go read about it here, scroll down to Something Wicked This Way Comes.) I'm not rightly sure how I feel about that, I suppose a lot would depend on the artist they choose, but I would definitely love to know the rest of the story. And then some. This is as compelling ( Read more... )

Oh yes. Novels would be the absolute best thing, short of HBO coming back on their decision and picking it up for more of the series. I want Carnivàle novels. Disturbingly good, they would be, just like the series.

Please do come with to the Flanvention. I'm sure we can soul our souls somewhere in exchange for Big Damn Passes and plane tickets. (We don't need hotel rooms, no, honey, we'll just bunk in with Alan. Well, I'll bunk in with Alan. You can bunk in with... Nathan? Would you like Nathan? Ah, hell, I'll bunk with any which one of them.)

I'll pray to our dear and fluffy lord, you take Buddha. I'll sacrifice a kiwi to Joss, too, and send a few prayers Drew's, David's and Tim's way (saints can grant prayers too, right?). Are you covering the old Roman and Greek gods? I'll take the Egyptians.

Weird, in a definitely would-love-to-be-there(-possibly-with-a-camera) sort of way. And you forgot Ron and Summer, and Jonathan and Yan and Rafael while we're at it. Wouldn't say no to Jason Carter either. Yum.

I don't know how well Carnivale is suited to comic form. A lot of the show was music and mood and atmosphere, not the sort of thing that translates to a graphic novel, and I feel like while a comic could get the story told, it wouldn't be very satisfying.

I know, I know. I have issues with the Firefly comics as it is, but Carnivàle? Would likely be far worse. That said, if it's the only way to get the story told? I'd rather have that than nothing, unsatisfying though it might be.

Was there ever a soundtrack for that show? I should look around. Hmm.

There is a soundtrack, and it's very good. Definitely recommended.
