As reported by The Hollywood Reporter, Netflix has preemptively picked up Shadecraft, an upcoming comic book from Image Comics created by Lucifer showrunner Joe Henderson and artist Lee Garbett.
From the creative team that brought you the Eisner-nominated SKYWARD, SHADECRAFT follows Zadie Lu, a teenager who is afraid of her own shadow. She REALLY should have grown out of by now, right? But something weird is happening in her small town. Zadie could swear the shadows are coming to life. Watching her. Trying to KILL her. But how do you fight something you can’t even touch? And how does all of this tie into her FAMILY, of all things?
A new series perfect for fans of the Koyoharu Gotouge’s Demon Slayer, James Tynion IV and Martin Simmonds’ Something Is Killing The Children and Veronica Fish and Kelly Thompson’s Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Henderson will co-write the pilot with Georgia Lee and both will be executive producers on the adaptation.
Joe Henderson is currently executive producer/co-showrunner of LUCIFER on Netflix. He served as a co-executive producer on WHITE COLLAR, GRACELAND and ALMOST HUMAN. He also acted as a consulting producer on the miniseries 11/22/63. He is currently adapting SKYWARD as a motion picture for Sony, with Brad Peyton (RAMPAGE, SAN ANDREAS) attached to direct.
Lee Garbett is the artist/co-creator of SKYWARD with writer Joe Henderson (showrunner of LUCIFER on NETFLIX). Published by IMAGE COMICS, SKYWARD is currently in development by SONY PICTURES. He has worked for Marvel on LOKI: AGENT OF ASGARD, SPIDER-MAN, DEFENDERS and GHOST RIDER and for DC on LUCIFER, BATMAN, BATGIRL and THE OUTSIDERS. Outside of comics, Lee designs posters, costumes and concept art for films.
