DC may have cancelled iZOMBIE after only 28 issues, but the CW have now made this the latest comic book series (alongside Arrow, The Flash & Hourman) to be brought to TV.
Deadline have revealed that Rob Thomas (who is currently hard at work on the fan-funded Veronica Mars movie) will be reuniting with that movie's co-writer Diane Ruggiero for a small screen adaptation of iZOMBIE on the CW. Based on the 28 issue comic book series by Chris Roberson and Michael Allred and published though DC's Vertigo imprint, it's "a supernatural crime procedural that centers on a med student-turned-zombie who takes a job in the coroner’s office to gain access to the brains she must reluctantly eat to maintain her humanity. But with each brain she consumes, she inherits the corpse’s memories, and with the help of her medical examiner boss and a police detective, she solves homicide cases in order to quiet the disturbing voices in her head." iZOMBIE joins Arrow, The Flash and Hourman at the CW, while Constantine is headed to NBC and Gotham is on the way to Fox. Are you guys excited about this new series?
