Five Ghosts to start filming in January

Had a quiet and introspective weekend, kind of. But did pop out for a signing, Ryan Browne of God Hates Astronauts fame (also Manhattan Projects and Bedlam fame) and Frank Barbiere of Five Ghosts fame (and his twin Zach, cool guy) were present. Got to talk to Frank about the Five Ghosts TV series and learned a few things.

SyFy is staying true to the story in the comic. That should be good for comic value.
The TV show should be on TV next fall.
The scripts are being written and casting will begin once the scripts are done.
The TV show should tentatively begin filming in January.
Print runs on the book are small.

  1. This should spike up once more people here about the show or a trailer comes out. I’m watching the set of 9.8’s right now. Thanks for the scoop!

  2. there is a set of 1 thru to 5 at local comic shop for $30 aus
    i will get it soon for sure
    i have only one copy of 1 only
    should be able to flip this after new year for $100 plus

  3. Thanks comics heating up.. always accurate information. I bought the 2nd printing since it was a lower print run. 🙂

  4. Looks like some of the Phantom Variants (1 and maybe 2) had some printing problems throughout the entire print. I noticed a warning of “**PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL COPIES OF THIS WILL BE IN VERY FINE CONDITION only DUE TO A PRINTER ERROR **
    Printing problems have caused two stress marks on the spine throughout the entire print run.”
    Anyone know if this is true, or is it just a seller trying to justify a lower grade?

      1. Thanks! I glanced at a few copies on Ebay, didn’t really notice anything odd, and when I read that I went back and still didn’t notice anything on the few copies I saw, but seeing a picture can be very deceiving once you have the actual comic in your hand!

  5. No they didn’t mention color breaking in the spine dings. From the picture I could only see one spine ding that wasn’t color breaking, so maybe a press could help fix the problem?
