Variety reports that Sci Fi Channel and Virgin Comics have hired Mike Carey to write the first project under their new multimedia partnership, a fantasy-adventure series called The Stranded.
The comic will be unveiled later today at Comic-Con.
According to the trade paper, The Stranded is about “five ordinary people living on Earth who, it turns out, are actually from a world called Standfire. Their past has returned — not to haunt them, but to kill them.”
Separate covers will be provided by Marc Silvestri and Greg Horn. The first issue is set to debut later this year.
