The series’ entire creative team — including executive producers Eric Kripke, J.J. Abrams, Bryan Burk, Rockne S. O’Bannon and Jon Favreau — regrouped to create the digital comic with DC Comics. Revolution writers David Reed and Ryan Parrott penned the four chapters, after breaking the story with the rest of the team.
In a letter to fans, Kripke says that short of producing cost-prohibitive new episodes, “We can do the next best thing. Which is end the story. On our terms. Exactly the way we would have.”
