You may have noticed Dynamite been announcing a fair number of writers who haven’t worked with the company before. Time to add another one. Joshua Fialkov is going to be writing a series called “The Devilers” for Dynamite in 2013.
Fialkov is probably still best known for his excellent Elk’s Run series. Currently he’s writing I, Vampire for DC, although he’s written for Marvel, Top Cow and Dark Horse, among others, over the last few years. He’s a go-to guy for dark thrillers and horror. Judging by the cover, I think we can expect a something along those lines.
