After the announcement yesterday that NBC Universal has teamed with Lion Forge Comics to produce digital comic book versions of some of their beloved TV shows, we have now learned that the Knight Rider book will be written by Geoff Thorne (Leverage, Ben 10) with art from Jason Johnson.

Johnson tweeted his enthusiasm for the project last night (“Sweet!”), while Thorne spoke with the Knight Rider Archives promising to do his “best to make it cool.” Thorne told us that this new book will actually be a reboot, “but you’ll find all of it very familiar. As always we have to find a balance between new and old fans. I think we will.”

Keep your scanners peeled for more announcements about this exciting new Knight Rider project!
