Wynonna Earp: Comic Creator/Writer Beau Smith on the "Amazing" Series and the "Surreal" Melanie Scrofano

Wynonna Earp comic creator Beau Smith couldn't stop smiling at San Diego Comic-Con as he talked about the success of his first female-driven comic turned television series.

He quite simply called it "amazing."

He said he "never in a million years" thought it would be as successful as it has been.

He also credited showrunner Emily Andras for making the television series exactly how he always envisioned it – with "likability and humor."

Smith said the transition to a television series happened rather quickly, over a matter of a few weeks, once Syfy picked it up. 

He was immersed in scripts and audition tapes including Melanie Scrofano's who plays the main character.

He found her to be "surreal" and a "dream come true."

So do we, Beau, so do we!
