We knew AMC had ordered a martial arts/Western drama straight to series, we just hadn't seen much of it. As with just about every hush-hush project these days, Comic Con just changed all that. Starring Hong Kong actor Daniel Wu as a sword-wielding badass, Into the Badlands is apparently based loosely on the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West—just with more cars and back tattoos. There are only six hourlong episodes coming in November, so don't expect a 22-hour windswept epic; then again, Netflix's Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: The Green Legend will be out at the end of August, so at least 2015's shaping up to be a promising year for the genre.
