Fresh from winning three Eisner nods, breakout comic The Wicked And The Divine may be appearing on our TV screens soon.
Kieron Gillen, Jamie McKelvie and Matt Wilson’s breakout book recently landed three Eisner Award nominations, including best new series. The story of a group of superpowered individuals called The Pantheon, the series has just been optioned by Universal Television via producers Matt Fraction and Kelly Sue DeConnick’s Milkfed Criminal Masterminds.
