Josh Blaylock’s Mercy Sparx is Being Developed for Film and Television

Posted on by

On the heels of the news that the hit indie comic series will return in 2019, Assemble Media has partnered with Josh Blaylock to develop his Mercy Sparx character across film, tv, and digital.

Mercy Sparx follows the hard-knock exploits of a bad-ass, quick-to-throw-down demon who is kicked out of Hell for bad behavior and banished to Earth, where she finds a new mission from the most unlikely of sources… Heaven. Now amongst mortals, she hunts down rogue angels who have fallen from grace. Or in other words… she’s doing Heaven’s dirty work.

The long-running, punk rock, action-fueled supernatural series, created by Josh Blaylock with the primary art team of Matt Merhoff and Greg & Fake Studio, has spawned over twenty issues, four collected volumes and a 400-page omnibus.

Heller and Assemble execs Scott Veltri and Brendan Deneen will produce alongside producer Daniel Alter.

Posted on by

Zenescope Entertainment has partnered with Director/Producer Jack Heller and his newly formed Assemble Media, to bring some of the company’s most beloved titles to film, TV, and the ever-growing new media landscape. Heller joined Zenescope founders Joe Brusha and Ralph Tedesco at Zenescope’s New York Comic Con panel where they gave the crowd a sneak peek at their first collaboration, a short film based on the company’s best selling comic book Robyn Hood.

The short, directed by Jack Heller, stars Banshee’s Lili Simmons in the title role and will be available via the Zenescope website, Popboom.com, and across multiple social media platforms.

In addition to working on a live action feature film of Robyn Hood, Brusha, Tedesco & Heller have begun development on another of Zenescope’s best selling titles, the anthology Horror series, Grimm Tales of Terror. Like Robyn Hood, they plan to develop Tales of Terror while simultaneously producing digital content around the project.

Zenescope Entertainment is currently in various stages of development on multiple film and TV projects based on their best selling comic book series, including Syfy channel’s newest show Van Helsing.
