Miami Vice Comic Book from Lion Forge
Can you feel it coming in the air tonight? Well... it's here and Crockett and Tubbs are back and better than ever! This brand new digital comic book series from Lion Forge Comics features the classic NBC TV show Miami Vice.
The ground-breaking television series starring Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas ran for five seasons through 1990. Miami Vice revolutionized TV in that it was the first series to feature music by popular artists of the time. While this may seem common today, you have to rewind 30 or so years to fully appreciate the impact this had on the people watching and even the very future of television itself. Miami Vice was a game changer to say the least.
Looking back from this vantage point and seeing how MTV was coming of age in the early 1980s, it may seem like a no-brainer to do a TV series like Miami Vice, but this is really where it all started. Combine the revolutionary use of real pop music with the first TV series to have a gritty film-like feel and you've got a huge hit on your hands.
The storyline of the Lion Forge digital comic will take place between the first and second seasons of the TV show. Most likely, if it's successful, Lion Forge Comics may move the story around to different time periods.
The Miami Vice digital comic is set to be released as a monthly series from Lion Forge Comics. You can get your copy of the new Miami Vice digital comic right here. These first issues are promising to explore the characters we know and love from the TV series (thankfully -- the comic will have nothing to do with the 2006 movie of the same name).
Lion Forge Comics is currently producing several digital comic series based on NBC properties including Saved By The Bell, Knight Rider, and Airwolf.
