Sometimes you see something being adapted and the question of how just leaves you hanging.
Sony Pictures Television has acquired the rights to develop an animated TV series for Faust, based on the 1978 comic series by David Quinn and Tim Vigil. The series ran through something like a dozen publishers over twenty-five years of publication and I lost track of it after the first dozen or so issues. The property is a big sex and splatterfest exploitation work that I’m guessing that Invincible is making possible now after that project brutalized so much of its cast and everyday characters.
The project is being developed by Matteo Pizzolo of Godkiller as part of his first-looking agreement with the studio. Quinn and Vigil will serve as consulting producers on the adaptation, with Black Mask Entertainment’s Brian Giberson executive producing.
Plot Concept: Released by Quinn and Vigil’s Rebel Studios in 1987, Faust follows John Jaspers, a tormented vigilante who sells his soul in exchange for super powers and must then rise against Mephistopheles to rescue his lover Dr. Jade DeCamp and win back his soul.
