Jane Espenson's Gay Themed Web Series 'Husbands' Expands Into Comic Book [Comic Art Inside]

Jane Espenson's resume as a perennial television writer and producer spans nearly two decades, including a five-year stint as a writer and producer of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Between 2009-2010 she served as co-executive and executive producer of the television series Caprica. In 2010 she wrote an episode of HBO's Game of Thrones and joined the writing staff for season four of Torchwood

In 2011 she co-wrote and produced her first gay-themed indie web series Husbands, about two men who are married to each other, which premiered online at http://husbandstheseries.com

Dark Horse Comics recently announced that a digital comic based on the series will soon be available as seen in the art here. 

"It seemed like such a natural fit. We were already embracing and subverting sitcom tropes and the classic newlywed sitcom with Husbands," says Espenson. “Comic books get a lot of fuel from the same thing: mixing modern life with classic forms of comic book storytelling. And that is something that I love to do: Taking characters and seeing how they would act if they were a superhero or in a fairy tale."

According to Out.com, a popular gay and lesbian fashion, entertainment and lifestyle magazine, the digital comics will be collected in a hardcover edition available March 27, 2013.
