Daniel S. Levine\/ Comicbook<\/em><\/p>\n

The Walking Dead<\/em>\u00a0creator Robert Kirkman announced plans for an animated series based on his\u00a0Super Dinosaur<\/em>\u00a0comics at the Skybound Entertainment panel at San Diego Comic-Con Friday.<\/p>\n

Super Dinosaur<\/em>\u00a0launched in June 2011 and is published by Image Comics. The series centers on an armor-wearing Tyrannosaurus Rex who teams up with Derek Dynamo to stop the villainous Max Maximus from getting to Inner-Earth and more dinosaurs. The 23-issue series was also published as a four-volume trade paperback series between 2011 and 2015.<\/p>\n

News of an animated series based on\u00a0Super Dinosaurs<\/em>\u00a0first broke last fall,\u00a0when Canada’s Spin Master Entertainment announced plans to produce a series, with Vancouver-based Atomic Cartoons handling the animation.<\/p>\n

In an interview with\u00a0USA Today<\/em>\u00a0when\u00a0Super Dinosaur<\/em>\u00a0launched, Kirkman said the idea for the\u00a0Super Dinosaur<\/em>\u00a0character really came from artist Jason Howard’s son Jake, who drew a T-rex with a cape. Howard approached Kirkman, and they developed the idea. Eventually, they created a T-rex who used his tiny arms to control big robotic ones.<\/p>\n

“It will have some of the layered elements like\u00a0The Walking Dead<\/em>… but instead of people getting their heads cut off, it’ll be dinosaurs shooting other dinosaurs with lasers,” Kirkman said in 2011.<\/p>\n

Back in August 2017, Kirkman and Skybound signed a first-look deal with Amazon Prime. Kirkman and Skybound co-founder David Alpert will oversee projects with\u00a0Skybound Entertainment’s co-presidents of film and television Bryan and Sean Furst.<\/p>\n

\u201cRobert is a gifted storyteller who shares our passion for elevated genre storytelling that pushes boundaries,\u201d Sharon Tal Yguado, head of event series for Amazon Studios, said in a statement at the time. \u201cRobert and the team at Skybound are some of the most innovative and fearless creatives in the business. Together, we plan to explore immersive worlds and bold ideas for Prime Video.\u201d<\/p>\n

Aside from\u00a0The Walking Dead<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Fear The Walking Dead<\/em>, Kirkman’s Outcast became a hit series for Cinemax. Producers Seth Rogen and Ian Golberg were also developing a movie based on Invincible for Universal Pictures.<\/p>\n

Invincible<\/em>\u00a0is also being developed as an animated series. During a panel earlier in the day,\u00a0Kirkman said it will be as violent as the comics.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is going to be as violent as the comic book series and as far as staying close to the original story, I\u2019m writing the pilot and Im working very closely with Simon Cappioca to craft the series so it\u2019s going to be awesome,” Kirkman explained.<\/p>\n

The Walking Dead<\/em>\u00a0season nine debuts on\u00a0Oct. 7, 2019.\u00a0Fear The Walking\u00a0<\/em>Dead<\/em>‘s fourth season resumes on Sunday, Aug. 12 at 9 p.m. ET on AMC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
