Bendis Writing Castle Comic

Well let's hope this is better than Bendis' attempt at the Halo franchise, it's looks like Marvel and ABC are teaming up for a Castle graphic novel. Personally this sounds like a terrible idea and I have no idea who is actually going to buy this graphic novel. What's really sad is that it's Bendis writing it which just further shows that he's out of original ideas.

From Marvel:

Marvel Entertainment and ABC Studios are proud to announce Castle: Richard Castle's Deadly Storm, an all-new hardcover graphic novel inspired by the popular "Castle" television series. This 112 page hardcover hits comic shops and bookstores everywhere on September 28th, 2011. Fans can get a first look at the upcoming graphic novel, when Richard Castle (Nathan Fillion) reveals the cover on "Knockout," the Season Finale of "Castle," MONDAY, MAY 16 (10:01-11:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.

When viewers first met Richard Castle, he had reached celebrity author status with the success of his Derrick Storm mystery novels. In an unprecedented collaborative effort between Marvel, ABC Studios and the producers of "Castle," the adventures of Derrick Storm will be chronicled in an all new graphic novel from some of the most accomplished creators in the industry. "I am honored and humbled to see Derrick Storm join the ranks of some of the greatest heroes of all-time," said Richard Castle. "Being a part of the Marvel family is a childhood fantasy come true for me."

Castle: Richard Castle's Deadly Storm brings together a star studded cast of the best creators in the industry, including co-writers Brian Michael Bendis (Avengers, Ultimate Comics Spider-Man) and Kelly Sue DeConnick (Captain America And The Secret Avengers); interior artist Lan Medina (Fables); and cover artist Carlo Pagulayan (Planet Hulk).

"We are incredibly excited to be partnering with Marvel to bring Richard Castle's early literary works to life," said Andrew W. Marlowe, "Castle" creator/executive producer. "It's a great way to expand the Castle universe for all our fans."

The release of Castle: Richard Castle's Deadly Storm marks the first adaptation, in any medium, of the Derrick Storm novels by New York Times best-selling author Richard Castle.

"It's exciting to bring the Derrick Storm novels to life for the first time ever" said Axel Alonso, Marvel Entertainment Editor in Chief. "Whether you're new to the world of 'Castle' or a long time fan, there's something for everyone in Castle: Richard Castle's Deadly Storm—and it's the kind of book that reaffirms Marvel's commitment to creating new fans of comic books."
