The Contra universe began as a run-and-gun platform arcade video game by Konami in 1987 and has since expanded into over a dozen games. Despite its success, Konami doesn't appear to have any desire to expand the series into comics, television shows, or the like.
The first Contra game I played was the NES port of the original in the late 1980s. I have beaten the first three games, and have played all of the 8-bit and 16-bit games, but haven't played much else, so my opinions are quite a bit out of date. While I used to really love the early games, I've grown less enamored with them over the years because they rely mostly on reflexes and level memorization, and have little in the way of depth or discovery.
