Writer John Wagner and illustrator Arthur Ranson launched the comic book publication with four books as of 1992 with a story centered on Harry Exton, an out-of-work mercenary living in the U.K. who gets drawn into a deadly game of survival where the grand prize can leave you either dead rich, or dead, period. Roger Kass (The History Of Violence), who has been involved with the project since its heyday at Dreamworks back in 2006 in lieu of a hopeful feature film at the time, is producing the forthcoming pilot with emphasis on the first book of the franchise, “The Killing Game”.
Casting and further production details remain pending. Ranson first announced the update over at his official blog.
