Skydance Television to Develop Faster Than Light Based on Best-Selling Augmented Reality Comic Book Series

SANTA MONICA, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#fasterthanlight–Skydance Television today announced that it will develop Faster Than
Light
, the best-selling augmented reality comic series that tells
the story of humanity’s first thrilling and terrifying adventures to the
stars, set in the present day. The story is by Brian Haberlin and
artwork is by Haberlin and Geirrod Vandyke.


In the very near future, we discover the secret of faster-than-light
travel. Suddenly the universe is wide open to us, but are we ready for
it? Each issue of Faster Than Light features Anomaly’s
cutting-edge augmented reality app, which allows readers to turn the
pages of their comic book into realistic 3D animations. It is published
by Image Comics, Shadowline and received two Unity Vision Award
nominations for best Augmented Reality. Volumes #6 and #7 will be
released on May 11, 2016 and June 8, 2016, respectively.

“The exhilarating sci-fi universe that Brian Haberlin has created in Faster
Than Light
features a living, breathing narrative that we believe is
very well suited for television audiences and is precisely the kind of
big, bold story we love to tell at Skydance,” said Marcy Ross, President
of Skydance Television.

“I’m incredibly excited to be working with a creative group as
innovative and imaginative as the team at Skydance Television,” added
Haberlin. “They have already done such great things and I know they’ve
only just begun to scratch the surface … I can’t wait to dive in with
them on Faster Than Light!”

Brian Haberlin is a comic book artist, writer, editor and producer.
