The team behind Kick-Ass is reuniting for the new comic book, Psychic Sam. Comic book writer Mark Millar and artist John Romita Jr. have launched their latest collaboration on Kickstarter, which centres on a man who knows about murders before they happen, with a voice in his head revealing the names and addresses of future killers.
“It’s about a guy with a big gun who goes out and solves problems. He hears voices in his head that tell him to kill bad guys,” Millar states, per a THR exclusive. “The only trouble is, the bad guys haven’t done anything yet. But every time he ignores it, someone innocent dies. It’s only a matter of time before the bodies pile up.” So, it’s like Minority Report without the legality or the tech.
Already, producer Ivan Atkinson is coming aboard to develop Psychic Sam as a feature film. Atkinson is known for his frequent collaborations with Guy Ritchie, producing films such as The Gentlemen and Wrath of Man. If this comic book makes it to the screen, it’ll be the latest in a long line of Mark Millar titles to be adapted, with Kingsman just one recent example.
With the Kickstarter now live, Millar and Romita are offering a number of incentives, including the chance to be drawn into the book. Said Romita in the video announcing the project: “I have to do justice to all of you.”
