Another* TV Show Moving to Comic Book?

[Veronica Mars, CW, DC comics]

"It's over for good as a television series," confirms creator Rob Thomas.

Of course, this doesn't mean Thomas is bidding farewell to Neptune, according to a report in the online edition of the Toronto Star.

"At the end of the day (CW president) Dawn Ostroff doesn't get to make the final call. Hers is an important voice in the room. But they're the little sister company of CBS. There was a pretty strong feeling that (CBS overlord) Les Moonves didn't want to do the show."

"I have some ambition to write a screenplay, see if I can shop that and get it made," he says. "And I had a meeting with DC Comics last Monday and they want to do (Season 4) as a comic series."

Thomas is a novelist and screenwriter who worked on Dawson's Creek before creating ABC's Cupid (1998). A year later, he joined David E. Kelley's dramedy Snoops.

(Wow – I've watched 2 out of those 3 shows and was cranky when they got axed, too.)
