Image Comics Zero Series In Works As TV Show

Ales Kot and Michael Walsh’s Image Comics series, Zero, is headed to television, according to a Hollywood Reporter interview with Kot.

The Zero comic book series is an espionage thriller with an experimental bend, telling it’s story through a non-linear narrative.

“The TV series is not the same as the comic,” Kot said, “but it has a very similar high-strung energy, an interest in many of the same themes and an atmosphere that lies at the intersection of a stylized, adrenaline-heavy action thriller and an existential spy horror. It’s an exploration of the secret superagent archetype, of American dreams and of American dread — an examination of privacy, security, freedom and what we do for them.”

The series is still in early stage, but the comic is still being released monthly. Kot also says he has three film scripts in active development. He’ll launch Bucky Barnes: The Winter Soldier at Marvel Comics, with artist Marco Rudy, this October.
