Vertigo to publish Eric Kripke’s Amped

DC Entertainment’s Vertigo imprint announced that it will publish Amped from acclaimed television creator Eric Kripke.

In the Fall of 2015, Amped will be released as a six-issue monthly comic book miniseries. The story will follow Josh Jaffe, a neurotic family man who buys an online ‘smart pill’ to increase his focus and jolt him out of his slump, but he gets much more than he bargained for. To his surprise, the pill gives him incredible strength and power. The story examines both the mighty highs and humiliating lows of being a real-life super hero.

Created and written by Kripke, Amped will feature interior art from John Higgins and cover art from Brian Bolland.

It was also announced that USA Networks that it’s adapting the story for a television series, one of numerous original series the network has recently announced.
