Adapted from Rhett C. Bruno’s novel, Vault Comics announced the upcoming release of The Roach in graphic novel format.
The Roach is the story of a vigilante hero permanently disabled in a gunfight, who finds himself once again called upon to protect his city, The Roach received multiple awards including the 2020 Independent Audiobook Award Winner for Best Thriller/Suspense and the 2020 Best Indie Book Award for Action / Adventure.
“We rarely publish work in the superhero genre at Vault. When we do, we look for something that redefines what you can expect from a superhero book, and pushes the limits of the genre. The Roach does both,” said Vault CEO Damian Wassel in a press release. ” We’re extremely excited to work with Rhett and Kurt Yaeger to bring this superhero story back home to comics.”
“The Roach was a passion project for me more than any other,” said Rhett Bruno. “I couldn’t be more excited to see what the Vault team does with Reese’s unlikely story of redemption.”
This announcement is part of the bigger announcement that Vault Comics and Aethon Books have teamed up for other projects.
There is now announced release date for the graphic novel adaptation of The Roach, nor is there currently a creative team attached.
