Skybound Options ECLIPSE for Series Development
We’ve got more exciting TV and comic news coming at you today! Just announced: Skybound has optioned the Top Cow series ECLIPSE for series development. “ECLIPSE is a story that mixes post-apocalyptic and dystopian into a thrilling big world action drama, and explores the human condition while asking the question what if our life-giving sun turned on us.” says series creator, Zack Kaplan. “It’s my first comic series, it’s a passion project, and I’m so grateful to Top Cow’s Matt Hawkins and Marc Silvestri for believing in this great comic from the start, and I’m thrilled to see it developed by the best home in the business to marry comics with TV, and that’s Robert Kirkman’s Skybound Entertainment.”
After a solar flare drives the human population underground, daytime surface conditions are monitored by workers like David Baxter, equipped with special suits that protect them from the sun’s deadly radiation. Baxter’s solitary patrol of the empty cityscape is interrupted when he finds the scorched remains of someone left outside to burn – now, he must solve the murder himself. The comic is available in comic stores now!
Keep it tuned to Skybound for more info as development commences! In the meantime, take a look at some of the gorgeous art from the series below.
