There are a lot of rumors circling around the upcoming “Pushing Daisies” comic book, but how does this sound: a musical comic? Bryan Fuller mentioned to Entertainment Weekly that it may very well be released with a score. His exact words are below:

Question: Is there any news at all about the Pushing Daisies comic books? — Eric

Ausiello: Here’s an update from Bryan Fuller himself: “Issue number 1 will hopefully be out in early 2011, issue number 2 is being colored as we speak, and issue number 3 is being written. Our Emmy-award-winning composer Jim Dooley and I have been talking about giving the audience a multimedia experience with the comic—specifically a score. We have no idea whether we can actually afford to do an actual Pushing Daisies comic soundtrack (because the cast has agreed to sing songs and those licensing fees are expensive), but Jim has already started composing musical cues that we will either release officially or stream for freesies online when the comic book is published. I’ve already heard the track for Lee Pace’s cover ditty and it’s fantastic.”

    Hey, is there any update on the comic book yet? I’m eagerly waiting for it, but the fact that I hear so little about it, makes me worried that it’s been canceled. Please tell me that’s not true.

    Hi, Sean! As far as I know, the comic book is still a “go.” The last I heard was that they were aiming for a spring release. Let’s hope this is the case!

    Unfortunately, it probably would have been released by now, but the comic’s company folded so now it’s seeking a new distributor at DC. Hopefully something will be arranged quickly, though. I’m dying to see it, too!
