Husbands: The Comic
Open-knowledge reference entry
Husbands: The Comic is a digital comic book series published by Dark Horse Comics. The series serves as a canonical continuation of the acclaimed newlywed sitcom Husbands, following the events of its third season, and is written by the television series' creators Brad Bell and Jane Espenson. The storyline follows Cheeks and Brady after they receive a mysterious wedding present, which sets in motion a chain of events, thematic to the rabbit hole metaphor. It was ultimately collected in a hardcover edition, released on March 27, 2013.
Development
An announcement at the 2012 Dragon Con revealed that an exclusive digital comic book series, based on the newlywed sitcom Husbands, would be released on October 24, 2012, published by Dark Horse Comics, featuring art by Ron Chan, Natalie Nourigat, M. S. Corley, Benjamin Dewey and Tania del Rio. In early 2013, a hardcover edition was released, featuring an introduction by Neil Gaiman.
Jane Espenson explains that "[Husbands] is set in a marriage-equalized world, so it's already got a hint of an alternate-universe thing going on". Reiterating that sentiment, she goes on to say, "the comic books are going to totally dive into a whole [alternate-universe] premise. So we're going from genre-curious to full-on genre!" Brad Bell elaborated, "I wanted to make sure we translated Husbands into something worthy of the comic realm. It's not some sort of trans-media marketing ploy.

Why this record matters
“Husbands: The Comic” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Husbands, Comic and Open-knowledge provides the most credible route into that argument.
