Comic Book Writers Matt Fraction & Kelly Sue DeConnick Sign Deal With Universal TV, Will Adapt ‘Sex Criminals’ To Series

Comic book power couple Matt Fraction and Kelly Sue DeConnick are venturing into television with a two-year overall deal at Universal TV. Under the pact, the married duo will adapt some of their comic books as well as original TV series concepts.

One of the first projects the company is developing under the Uni TV deal is an adaptation of the Eisner and Harvey Award-winning comic Sex Criminals, created by Fraction with partner Chip Zdarsky. Image Comics’ Sex Criminals, named the best comic of the year in 2013 by Time Magazine, centers on a female librarian and male actor who discover they can freeze time when they orgasm.

I just started reading this series and man...it's a good'un. If they can keep that same motif of breaking the fourth wall and inviting the viewer in the way they do the reader, this could be a lot of fun.
