News of some very interesting projects hitting television has arisen from the minds of the comic book couple, Matt Fraction and Kelly Sue DeConnick.

The two have just signed a two year deal with Universal TV to adapt some of their original comic books into live action television shows.

"We're always excited to usher in fresh voices to the television space, and we couldn't be more thrilled to partner with Matt and Kelly Sue, a fantastic pair whose award-winning comics are as deeply realized as they are entertaining," says Universal TV EVP Bela Bajaria.

The first project the studio plans to adapt is the couple's critically acclaimed comic book 'Sex Criminals'. The graphic novel centers around a female librarian and a male actor that discover they can freeze time.

'Sex Criminals' was proclaimed the best comic book of 2013 by Time Magazine.

"Fraction is a multiple Eisner-winning comic book writer known for his work on Hawkeye, The Invincible Iron Man, The Mighty Thor, Avengers Vs. X-Men and other Marvel comics. He has created such Image Comics properties as ODY-C (co-created with Christian Ward), Casanova (co-created with Gabriel Bá and Fábio Moon), Satellite Sam (co-created with Howard Chaykin), Last Of The Independents (co-created with Kieron Dwyer), Five Fists Of Science (co-created with Steven Sanders) .... He was a consultant on the Iron Man 2 film. In TV, he wrote an episode of FX's animated comedy Archer," writes Deadline.

It hasn't been said what network the show will appear on, or when we can expect to see it.
