Ken Woodruff (Gotham) and novelist Steph Cha are co-writing, co-creating and executive producing the series. Woodruff will serve as showrunner.
Kim and John Cheng are executive producers under their 3AD production company. Stephen Christy and Ross Richie are producing for BOOM!
The book was written by Arash Amel and Marguerite Bennett, and illustrated by Antonio Fuso and Stefano Simeone.
