Despite its snub at the Emmys, fans really dig the BBC America hit, "Orphan Black" and IDW Publishing paid attention. They just announced at Comic-Con that coming in 2015 is a new comic book series based on the show. Details were released yesterday via a press release from IDW and it revealed that not only will it not be cloning the show, it'll offer new story lines set in the show's world.

Here is the announcement from IDW:

Orphan Black, the acclaimed sci-fi series by Temple Street Productions, assumes a new identity in the form of a comic-book series from IDW Publishing. IDW’s series will not be a clone of the show but will feature some all-new stories set in the complex and thrilling world of Orphan Black.

“Orphan Black, in addition to being a captivating TV series, is a perfect premise for comics,” said Chris Ryall, IDW’s Chief Creative Officer/Editor-in-Chief. “And as the second season has expanded the series in exciting new directions, that has only increased the amount of stories we’ll be able to tell in comic-book form.”
