The show ended in 2004 but not before cultivating a die hard fanbase that has been clamoring for it’s return for just over 10 years. Fans looking for their Jack fix got a small taste in comic form, thanks to IDW.
“I feel like it’s culminating to a fever pitch almost.” said Tartakovsky in a previous interview with ComicBook.com. “I feel like it’s time to maybe finish the story. We’ve been trying to get the feature off the ground but maybe that’s just fate’s way of saying this is a television thing and maybe it should be a mini-series or something like that.”
