Digital comics company Red Giant Entertainment (Buzzboy, The First Daughter) will launch its true-crime anthology series with a graphic novel based on Blue Caprice, the psychological thriller that depicts the 2002 Beltway sniper attacks from the perspective of the shooters.
Directed by Alex Moors, the independent film stars Isaiah Washington (Grey's Anatomy), Tequan Richmond (Everybody Hates Chris), Tim Blake Nelson (The Incredible Hulk) and Joey Lauren Adams (Chasing Amy), and is produced by two of Red Giant's board members. The graphic novel will be penned by the film's screenwriter R.F.I. Porto and illustrated by "the art team behind Red Giant's Katrina" (whose names I can't seem to find anywhere).
The plan, according to Deadline, is for the company to release Blue Caprice as a webcomic "in the next few months" before collecting it for print. It will be the first release in it Public Enemies series, which Red Giant says will explore "the tangled motivations of the killers and the legacy of their violence."
Characterizing itself as "an innovative intellectual property company," the Orlando-based Red Giant states that its goal is "to become the largest comic book publisher in the world."
