You can get a free month on their website.

www.netflix.com/

If you do that, watch the show '13 Reasons Why'...it's good.

Yeah, Joel was kinda on the fence about it too. He chose Netflix kinda out of need, but also because of some pros. Netflix reaches worldwide markets, and everybody knows Netflix. He's using Netflix as a try out for bigger things. I would love to see it back on Comedy Central.

Exclusive: 'Mystery Science Theater 3000' Comic Series Announced

Exclusive: 'Mystery Science Theater 3000' Comic Series Announced

By Matthew Mueller - June 7, 2018

Mystery Science Theater 3000 is used to taking on the world of movies in hilarious fashion, but thanks to Dark Horse the crew finds themselves immersed in a whole new world...the world of comics.

The beloved franchise is coming to comics in Dark Horse's brand new (and aptly titled) series Mystery Science Theater 3000 The Comic. The new comic series is being helmed by original Mystery Science Theater host Joel Hodgson, who last hosted the show back in season five. All the beloved characters will be right alongside him as Crow T. Robot, Tom Servo, and Gypsy take to dissecting some of the best comics the public domain has to offer.

The six-part series will launch with two covers. The main cover is drawn by Todd Nauck, while the variant cover features the work of Steve Vance, who also created the covers for Shout! Factory's Mystery Science Theater 3000 DVD and Blu-ray collections. You can get your first look at the new covers below.

The official description for the series can be found below.

"The riffing hilarity loved by fans of Mystery Science Theater 3000 since 1988 is taking on a whole new medium…comics! Created for comics by series creator Joel Hodgson, Mystery Science Theater 3000, The Comic finds Jonah Heston, Crow T. Robot, Tom Servo, and Gypsy thrust into the 2-D world of public domain comics, with riffing as their only defense! But trust us, these comics have it coming.

Featuring a variant cover by longtime MST3K DVD artist Steve Vance (among others), Mystery Science Theater 3000, The Comic is a perfect companion to your favorite original episodes and the hit Netflix show!"

The show recently relaunched on Netflix after a crowdfunding campaign, experiencing immense success, so much so that it has already been given a second season on the streaming service, the franchise's twelfth season overall. The show was originally created by Hodgson back in 1988 and was based on the premise of a janitor being rapped by two mad scientists. They forced him to watch B movies in an attempt to take over the world (long story), and to help keep himself sane he developed several robot companions to accompany him in riffing on the films he had to watch.

The show is also conducting a 30th-anniversary tour, which Hodgson will take part in as well.

Mystery Science Theater 3000, The Comic #1 lands on shelves on September 9, and is available for pre-order at your local comic shop.

Great to see an official announcement. It wasn't in this month's Previews so it's technically not available to order until next month.

‘Mystery Science Theater 3000’ Comic Book Takes Premise In Bizarre New Direction

Crow and Tom Servo don’t just comment on old comics. They enter the storylines.

“Mystery Science Theater 3000” is branching out into comic books and it’s a mystery it took the TV series so long.

The sci-fi spoof is pairing with Dark Horse Comics to produce a six-issue run written by the show’s staff including creator Joel Hodgson.

The first issue, due in September, will mark the culmination of a 25-year-old dream for Randy Stradley, vice president of publishing at Dark Horse and the editor on the project.

“I pitched them the idea of a comic back in 1993,” Stradley told HuffPost. “I didn’t realize that Joel, the original host, was on his way out around then.”

When “Mystery Science Theater 3000” was rebooted in 2017 for Netflix under Hodgson’s tutelage, the idea finally seemed doable.

The comic book version makes fun of cheesy comics the same way the TV show makes fun of bad movies, but with a key difference: Rather than commenting on the films as they play on screen, characters like Crow and Tom Servo are inserted into the storylines of various public-domain comic books.

Here’s a sample page:

“We put the characters into the actual stories and try and use as much of the original dialogue,” Stradley said.

Readers can tell which lines of dialogue are new by looking for the talk balloons with a small circle in them.

Stradley said at first he’d assumed the comic book versions of the characters would read the comics in silhouette ― like on the TV show ― but there were some problems. For instance, the artists started out drawing Tom Servo, host Jonah Ray and Crow left to right, just as they appear on TV.

“But Joel pointed out that people would read the comic left to right so Crow would always seem as if he had the last word,” Stradley said. “It gets redundant.”

Beyond the six planned issues, both Netflix and Dark Horse are hopeful fans will clamor for more. However, the cast and crew of the show are working on their second season of the reboot and may not have free time for a few months.

Still, Stradley has found some more bizarre comics that he can’t wait to suggest.

“There are some weird comics out there,” he said. “There was one called ‘Space Western’ that was cowboys fighting aliens in space.”
