Description
I'm thrilled to finally be able to reveal I'm writing the new Samurai Jack comic series for IDW that begins in October! It's a continuation of the popular cartoon series that ran from 2001-2004 and the new comic picks up where the TV show left off. I'll have more details about this project soon, but for now you can read through the official solicitation info below:Samurai Jack #1 (of 5) — GEM OF THE MONTH (OCT)
Jim Zub (w) • Andy Suriano (a & c)
Cartoon Network's hit animated series is back at IDW! The legendary samurai known only as 'Jack' is stranded in a strange future ruled by the demonic wizard, Aku. His quest to return back to the past has tested him many times, but now the stakes are higher than ever. Can an ancient relic known as the Rope of Eons finally take him home? Writer Jim Zub (Skullkickers, Street Fighter) and artist Andy Suriano (Character Designer on the original Samurai Jack TV series) begin a new era of samurai adventure!

Any chance you can get Genndy Tartakovsky to give the creator endorsed mark [link] to this comic? Also is it canon? Will it mess with the film's continuity.One more thing could you ask cartoon network to release the old samurai jack comics digitally? You also draw the Klonoa comic right the art style for that is awesome so this should be awesome to. Best of Luck.

Genndy is definitely involved and he's providing alternate cover art for the series. I don't know about the endorsed mark (that's up to the publisher, not me).
The new comic is is canon and continues the story from the series. It doesn't change anything that's already been done.
The old Samurai Jack comics will be reprinted and released digitally around the same time.
Thanks for the support!

I am already the comic saga is over, remain Comics canon? Because it is known that the new season will occur 50 years later Jack where the animated series. ¿Genndy you said something?

Can you ask the publisher about using the creator endorsed mark?So will the old samurai jack comics be in HD?If they ever release the old ed,edd and eddy comics PM okay? And tell me where to buy them. Also where can I buy the new samurai jack comic? If the old ones are in a bundle of 9 dollars I will buy them as long as my credit card works.Thats a promise.

I'm just the writer. I can ask but it's not up to me.
I have no idea if the comics will be in HD.
I have no idea about other Cartoon network property comics.
You can pre-order the new comic from your local comic shop or buy them digitally from comiXology once they're released.
