The legendary tabloid newspaper, Weekly World News, is getting a comic book adaptation from writers Steven Paul Judd, Ken Kristensen, and Tvli Jacob, with art by M.K. Perker.
Where X-Files meets It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, the series follows the dysfunctional lives of a young Weekly World News journalist and a seasoned photojournalist as they investigate stories inspired by actual articles published in the paper over the decades. As funny as it is thrilling, the characters’ search for the truth leads them to uncover bizarre mutants, unexplained phenomena, epic world secrets, and supernatural realities. The drama of their weird and wild encounters are only rivaled by the eccentric personal relationships at the office and their volatile family dynamics at home.
While creatives have been announced, at this point Mad Cave Studios did say Weekly World News the comic book series is still in the early stages of production with no release date announced as of this posting.
