Another comic property is making its way to another medium. Avatar Press today has announced that Legendary Television and Digital have optioned Max Brooks‘ Extinction Parade for development as a television series. Brooks will work closely with the development of the project and will be writing the pilot episode. Brooks is best known for his previous work World War Z and the Zombie Survival Guide.

Brooks brought the work to Legendary due to their quality of work and he felt he’d be proud of the final product. Extinction Parade features a rich tapestry of cultures in decline and a biting indictment of the perils of privilege.

The first trade paperback collection of Extinction Parade comes out this July, and is a perfect place for individuals to start to check out the series.
