Image Comics’ Gideon Falls, created by Jeff Lemire and Andrea Sorrentino, is getting the adaptation treatment as leaked to us through a Key Issue Alert from the mobile app, Key Collector Comics (available on iTunes and Google Play). Early reports claim the producers are in talks with some big names to direct and star in the adaptation of the horror/mystery series. Watch this spot for official news.
The first issue was released this past March and inventory of the premiere issue on eBay has already dried up from the frenzy of comic speculators who rushed to the auction site after receiving the alert.
In the debut issue of “Gideon Falls”:
“The lives of a reclusive young man obsessed with a conspiracy in the city’s trash, and a washed-up Catholic priest arriving in a small town full of dark secrets, become intertwined around the mysterious legend of The Black Barn, an otherworldly building that is alleged to have appeared in both the city and the small town, throughout history, bringing death and madness in its wake. Rural mystery and urban horror collide in this character-driven meditation on obsession, mental illness, and faith.”
