Cod Speaks!

.

Emerson, that is. Even more specifically we're speaking of Chi McBride, the actor who portrayed the character Emerson Cod on the adored-by-smart-people television program Pushing Daisies. And what is Mr. McBride speaking of? Well Pushing Daisies of course. Specifically, this:

"Bryan [Fuller]'s doing a graphic novel. He sent me a couple pages. It was off the hook. It's really good... It's a whole thing about a whole bunch of corpses coming to life. That's all I know so far, but Bryan was kind enough to share the first few pages. It really looks good."

"It seems a little darker, which is a lot of things that Bryan couldn't do... There's one particular story that I hope he does called 'The Head.' I wished he could've done it during the series. It was awesome."

(via) I will refrain from making any "good 'Head'" jokes, I will refrain from making any "good 'Head'" jokes, I will refrain from making any "good 'Head'" jokes. Ahem. A little more from Chi:

"It is tough to let go of something you really like. We had an extremely loyal fan base, so I'm glad they're going to be able to get something to continue on and more so, wrap up the continuation of these characters' lives."

Awww you sweet, Chi. Love you back, long time. One question mark this info raises from my perspective though - it's a graphic novel now, and not a continuing comic book? Hmm. Back in April news was of at least 12 issues. Perhaps Chi just means the 12 issues will inevitably be turned into a single volume...? Perhaps. Hmm.
