Revolution, the cult-favorite sci-fi series that ended in May 2014, has found new life in a four-part digital comic series that will resolve the show’s unfinished storylines and plot threads. ComicBook.com is fortunate enough to exclusively hostย every issue, beginningย May 4 with the issue’s first release.

Revolution will unite regular series writer David Reed and Ryan Parrott, who will pen the comic tales (including the script below). Also on board are Revolution’s executive producers Eric Kripke, J.J. Abrams, Bryan Burk, Rockne S. O’Bannon and Jon Favreau, who teamed up with DC Comics to bring the series to its proper conclusion.

You can check out the script below.
