2019’s series “Carnival Row” was absolutely fantastic and the fact that a second season was never made still irks me to this day. But, I do have good news for my fellow fans, the unique world of “Carnival Row” will soon return, not as a new season, but as a new graphic novel series, Tales of Carnival Row, from Legendary Comics that will feature original stories from the hit show from Legendary Comics and Amazon Video. “In the dark and magical world of Carnival Row, there are many stories to be told. Readers can explore the Burgue, where war-weary humans and Fae strike an uneasy peace and eke out a meager coexistence in this new anthology graphic novel. Fans can take a closer look at the myths and half-truths surrounding their favorite characters, including Philo, Vignette, Millworthy, Agreus, Tourmaline, and Aisling.” Writer George Mann (Wychwood, the Newbury & Hobbes series) and series writers C.M. Landrus, Charles Valasquez-Witosky, and Jordan Crair
