With this announcement of an Army of Darkness and Hack/Slash crossover, Seeley's words ring true. Better yet, the crossover will be written by none other than Seeley himself.

Grimm Coming to Comics

I wasn't shocked when I heard the popular NBC title Grimm was going to become a comic book and have graphic novels.

No, I wasn't shocked because after seeing the Grimm TV show advertised in the back of every other comic book with comic book artwork, I'd mistaken the show for a comic book several times over before finding out what it was. For the record, if the artwork looks anything like it does in the ad I shouldn't be complaining.
