We’re pretty huge fans of Matt Fraction over here at DFAT. Love Sex Criminals, Love Hawkeye, and are falling in love with ODY-C. That is why we’re thrilled to announce that Fraction and Kelly Sue DeConnick have signed a deal with Universal TV for the next three years to produce content for television. The first project getting made will be Sex Criminals!

“We’re always excited to usher in fresh voices to the television space, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to partner with Matt and Kelly Sue, a fantastic pair whose award-winning comics are as deeply realized as they are entertaining,” said Universal TV EVP Bela Bajaria.

 

This is a fantastic time for comic writers with Brian Michael Bendis developing Powers for the PlayStation Network and now this news with Fraction and DeConnick. They also plan to use their Milkfed Criminal Masterminds production company as a TV launchpad for other comic creators’ IP.
