IDW and George Lopez are developing a Horror/Comedy series

We continue to go down the worm hole of animation and we love every bit!  Turns out, George Lopez and IDW are developing an animated series inspired by the popular comic series Wormwood with David M. Stern (The Simpsons) coming on board to write the pilot:

Blending horror and humor, Wormwood follows the paranormal and obscene adventures of an inter-dimensional worm with the ability to animate corpses as host bodies. “George Lopez is a comic genius and Ben’s graphic novels are epic horror comedy. Building this universe is going to be like a dream. Or maybe more like a super fun nightmare” said David M Stern. Added Lopez, “It’s not often I can produce a series about an inter-dimensional worm.” 

Executive producing the series with Stern are Ted Adams and David Ozer from IDW Entertainment, Lopez and Leslie Kolins Small from Travieso, and David Alpert and Rick Jacobs from Circle of Confusion. Templesmith will serve as creative consultant. Circle of Confusion (The Walking Dead) will also executive produce under its deal to oversee packaging and creative development for IDW Entertainment. IDW Entertainment will fund development of the series, which will be taken out to the networks soon.

I’ll be honest, I’ve never read the Wormwood series, so for fans of the comic series, is this something you are looking for and do you think the right people are behind it? Sound off on the comments below!
