Sony Developing Animated Series Based on the Superhero Horror Comic FAUST

The superhero horror comic book Faust from writer David Quinn and artist Tim Vigil is coming to life as an animated series thanks to Sony Pictures Television. Deadline recently shared that Matteo Pizzolo (Godkiller) is writing the adaptaion with Quinn and Vigil serving as consulting producers.

Faust was launched in 1987 and “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.”

Faust was brought to the screen before by director Brian Yuzna in the 2000 film Faust: Love of the Damned, but audiences didn’t really care for it. Hopefully, this animated series fares better. Are you excited for this comic to get another shot?
