To Dynamite - Why don't you pause & shore up the titles you already have instead of keep putting out new titles? Other than Red Sonja & Green Hornet all the other titles you have let slide with delays, & other factors leading to loss of sales & the cancellation of those books.

i'm interested in this. comics based on TV shows i used to just roll my eyes at the idea. but for all it's cheesiness (that a word?) i love Warehouse 13, and now the thought of a drawn Claudia & Saul having an argument is something i gotta see.

I'm watching the old episodes online for the 1st time; I'm on 7 or so. I might trade wait this as I am the Stargate and Farscape stuff.

If they can get the writers from the show to do their comics, like Boom did with Eureka and Wildstorm did with Chuck and Supernatural, these could be very good. Unfortunately, Dynamite's track record with TV tie-ins *cough*BSG*cough* isn't what one would call good. Granted, with Battlestar Galactica, they were trying to tell stories inside of a very tight narrative where they weren't privy to the inner workings of the story.

How is the show? Looked good on a commercial I saw.

There was a Eureka comic? *adds to his trade list*

I like it. Cheesy fun with likable actors (I've always liked Saul Rubenik). The 2 agents go from friction filled reluctant partnership to buddy-buddy pretty quick (pretty much just the pilot episode; now they sometimes risk coming off too goofy to have been federal agents (plus he was a marine), but screw it, it's fun), but said buddy-buddying was done well.

There were two of them. The first one was very good, but I haven't read the second one yet. I think it helps that Eureka creator Andrew Cosby is also the co-founder of Boom Studios. They can be kind of hard to find, though. They're out of print.
