New Supernatural Comic Series Heads to Caledonia

From DreadCentral.com:

A new six-issue prequel comic series related to the "Supernatural" TV show is launching in October written by Brian Wood with artwork by Grant Bond and cover art by Dustin Nguyen. Entitled Supernatural: Caledonia, it will be an unparalleled adventure in the "Supernatural" saga as the Winchesters travel to Scotland.

Synopsis: On an academic break while at Stanford, Sam Winchester visits the United Kingdom on what is meant to be a sleepy trip...but on his first day he meets the alluring 'Emma of the isles,' and his visit gets a thousand percent less boring!

Having been burned every single time in the past by the horrible SPN comics, I think I'm going to give this one a pass. Especially if it's only about Sam. Sorry, not interested if Dean's not there, too.

I really hope Dean is in it, but I can't imagine how, if this takes place while Sam is at Stanford, and he and Dean never saw each other.

The covers for nearly all of the SPN comic series have been fantastic, I just wish they could get competent artists for the inside, too.

Me too, sweetie. Better artwork would sure improve their readability.

I pretty much consider all the comics as AU as they seem to play fast and loose with continuity all of the time. That's why it won't surprise me in the least for Sam and Dean to have an adventure, in another country no less, while he's still in Stanford.

It really irritates me that they don’t care that the comics don’t follow canon. What’s the point of them, then? Just come up with a new series with original characters hunting ghosts and monsters. I know if I was Eric Kripke I’d have final say over what goes in the comics. Afterall, he created the show! If he was putting his faith in Peter Johnson to keep things on track he was sorely mistaken from issue #1. There really is no excuse for Peter, who work(s) on SPN to let the comics turn into such a mess.
