Recall that Robert Kirkman is best known as the co-writer of The Walking Dead, the comic book that became the basis for the series of the same name, as well as some issues of X-Men and Ant-Man.

Released by Image Comics in 2018, “Song of Oblivion” is about Nathan Cole, a man who makes daily trips to try to rescue those still in Oblivion, a population center in Philadelphia that went missing a decade ago, along with its 300,000 residents.

“We were thrilled to find such wonderful partners at New Republic and Nine Stories. Both companies have terrific reputations for top-notch storytelling at the highest level, and we can’t wait for Jake to bring this character to life on the big screen. We are so lucky to have assembled a team that is as passionate about this comic book as we are,” Kirkman said in a statement on the occasion.
