Several graphic novels featuring the character are coming which you can read about here.
Daniel Alter told Superhero Hype! exclusively that creator Darren Davis also hatched the former Image series The 10th Muse, which was written by comics legend Marv Wolfman, and debuted in Diamond’s Top 10 sales chart. Weaver and Alter have also been developing that for some time and plan to announce a writer and studio home shortly!
