What happened to those plans to release a comic book and a tv show about Eve?

I remember that during fanfest it was announced that there would be a partnership between Dark Horse comics (publisher from comic series like Sin City, Buffy: The Vampire Slayer and manga like for instance Akira) and CCP for releasing a comic book series about certain events and true stories between players of Eve Online and the game as a whole.

It has been several months since then and so far not a single preview or a small notion of what is happening so far.

Also is the tv show still coming out? The comic book series was pretty definitive since it was announced with publisher and everything, but that is not the case with the tv show. From what i know making a tv show can be stupidly expensive. Can you give us any details on if the tv show is still coming out, and if for example the tv show will be with real actors, or if it will be completely CGI animated?

I dont know if this is important or not, but i have chickens.....

I was looking for more information on this just the other day. I truly hope that the comic and show become a reality. EVE has so much material to draw stories from, and it would give New Eden more mainstream exposure.

Very relevant, thank you for bringing it to my attention. I do not suppose we'll be getting hi-rez versions of those images anytime soon?
