Six-issue comic miniseries "Amped" will debut later in the year on DC Comics imprint Vertigo. Kripke will then adapt his own series for the USA network, Variety reported.

Kripke said: "Pretty much everything I've ever written has been insanely influenced by Vertigo, so it's a dream come true to write my first comic there.
"So I'm having the time of my life writing the comic - and basing the TV series off the comic, too. I can't wait for readers to read it - and then down the road, for watchers to watch it.
