Press Release
Cartoon Network has announced that it optioned NECESSARY EVIL, a
monthly comic book series created by Joshua Williamson and Marcus L.
Harris and published by Desperado Publishing. The comic book is being
developed as a weekly television series as part of the "live action
initiative" as recently announced in the Hollywood Reporter.
NECESSARY EVIL features two brothers who attend a school for super
villains after their mother, the greatest super villain of all time, is
murdered.
The television series' writers are Max Burnett, Chris Borelli and
Jonathan Davis. Attached to produce the series are Chris Fenton and
Chris Cowles of H2F Entertainment, and Brendan Deneen and Jarred
Weisfeld of Objective Entertainment.
"Being a part of the Cartoon Network's new live-action programming is
an amazing opportunity," said Necessary Evil's co-creator Joshua
Williamson. "The writers are doing a terrific job translating the book
and the story to the small screen. I think people will be surprised how
close the personalities of the characters in the comics are to their
live action counterparts."
Deneen adds, "As soon as I read the first issue of NECESSARY EVIL, I
knew Josh and Marcus had a multi-media hit on their hands. I'm proud to
be involved with this piece of material, and I look forward to working
on the TV series with this talented group of creators."
The NECESSARY EVIL trade paperback, which collects the first five
issues, as well as the single issues themselves, are still available at
Amazon.com and from Diamond Distributors.
