Adrian Askarieh, producer of the Enormous webisode and upcoming TV series talked to Screen Rant about a couple of didferent properties, including Enormous. Here is the exchange that they had.
Gotcha. Last but not least, earlier this year you had a chance to talk to one of our guys, Rob Frappier, about Enormous, the web series adaptation of the Image Comics series. Of course, since then it’s been announced to get a TV miniseries on Fox. Am I right?
Adrian Askarieh: Yes. I’m producing it with New Regency and Fox Television Studios. We’re in the process of announcing a showrunner and directors for our pilot. The goal is to not make it a miniseries, but make it a 13-episode event series. And if it’s a hit, we’ll do one every year. That’s the plan for Enormous. And it’s moving forward very fast. And everyone seems to be very excited about it.
TV is a very crazy landscape in terms of so many shows trying to get picked up. So we have our work cut out for us. But we have a leg up. It’s a great property. The book has gone supernova since we did the Machinima pilot. So all the omens and auguries are very good. And we’re talking with some really high-level exciting writers and directors. Enormous is something which I take very seriously because I want to have a presence in television. I love a lot of TV shows and I would like to be able to cultivate that medium for my company.
Nice!!! It would be great if the first episode aired by the end of the year.
2017 most likely. But news will continue to move prices up

Ooooh man that sucks!!! Yeah unfortunately I wasn’t that lucky to buy multiple copies of the book. Not that many shops here order indis. Mostly Marvel and DC. That’s one of the reasons why I plan on changing comic book stores. But I love the owner so that’s what stops me from leaving.
This is great news to me. I have a nice stack of Enormous books just sitting and waiting
You and me both Dale. Including a few copies of the Comicsheatingup.net exclusives.

I have a stack myself….and multiples of #1 both covers and the ultra rare variant #1 thanks to Tony!
Picked up a stack of the black and white Kaiju variant for 14.99 each a while back online.
I picked up multiples of those as well. If it is true that the print run was roughly 150 it will be a good one to have if the show gets popular.
