While comics and graphic novels are often made into films, and graphic novels and comics are routinely spun-off from movies, Sarah Lotz will break new ground by writing a novel to be published in hardcover based on the comic Reborn by writer Mark Millar and artist Greg Capullo. The comic series launched in October, and Lotz, who wrote the bestselling fantasy novels The Three and Day Four, is writing a standalone fantasy novel inspired by the comic to be published by Penguin Random House next autumn.
