Supernatural prequel coming to comics

I was just telling one of my friends about Supernatural and how it is the most underrated show of the season. A great premise, strong cast, great stories, and a killer soundtrack have me rocking along every Thursday. If you haven't seen it, you should check it out.

If you have, the good news is the creator, Eric Kripke, is bringing a prequel to comics through DC/Wildstorm. According to an interview at iFMagazine the plot,

starts when mom is burnt on the ceiling, but instead of flashing forward twenty-two years, it stays with John Winchester and it details how he became a demon hunter and how he met characters like Missouri, and Ellen, and Bobby for the first time. It’s the story about a demon hunter with two children and how does he find the demon that killed his wife? So, it’s not about the boys at all, it just fills in the blanks in the boys’ childhood. We’re starting with a six-issue series, and if it sells well then the sky’s the limit. We have twenty-two years worth of stories to tell.

Sounds like one to pick up as a collection and place next to you Supernatural DVD set.
