"Jonah Hex" Producer Caught In The "V.I.C.E."

Top Cow Productions will team with producer Andrew Lazar ("Jonah Hex"), to adapt the Top Cow/Image, five-issue, 2005 comic book series "V.I.C.E." into a live-action feature.

Co-created by Matt Hawkins, written by TV writer Aron Coleite ("Crossing Jordan") and illustrated by Marc Silvestri, Joe Benitez and Tyler Kirkham, the "V.I.C.E." comic book series follows a group of teen criminals who agree to aid the FBI in return for wiping out their police record 'rap sheets'.

"V.I.C.E." (aka 'Violent Incident Control Enforcement') follows the super powered agents, charged with bringing down domestic terrorists and superhuman threats.

"...The 'V.I.C.E.' agents are not without their own flaws, but they all must overcome their own personal problems to act as the last line of defense against world-shaking threats..."

"'V.I.C.E.' has the spirit of great team books, but it’s also the next evolution," said Top Cow. "This is one of the darkest of team books, and one of the darkest of dramas, with even the 'good guys' coming across a bit shady."
