Well, it’s been quite a while in production but it looks as though we can finally see the new serial adventures of The Mercury Men at syfy.com, starting on July 25th.

I wrote about the previews for this production back in August of 2009. There have been some bits and bobs of news since then, but this is certainly the biggest and best news of all.

It’s great to know that they’ve found a home for it, hopefully (but not likely) bringing in great big bags of money and popcorn. My guess is, the popcorn’s a lock.

And until the 25th of July you can amuse yourself by browsing the project’s digital props like, for example, the entirely imaginary action figures, the entirely printable papercraft characters, and the entirely unnecessary vintage newspaper ads. What? Did I say unnecessary was bad? Some of my best friends are unnecessary.

Anyhow the syfy link above goes to their home for the episodes; but the production itself has its own site, here.
