Comic writer extraordinaire (and Eisner Award winner) Ed Brubaker is busting into a new form of media!

The multi-award winning scribe has just sold his first two television projects:

Rising Suns follows an American Yazuka boss fighting for his life and falling for the FBI agent who is hunting him. This one will come from 20th Century Fox, and Kyle Killen (creator of Awake and Double Life) will also serve as an executive producer.

NBC has also taken interest in a title from Brubaker. This one remains untitled, but will follow an agent-in-training as she erases all traces of the agent she is shadowing.

Of course, nothing more is known about these titles, but one from one-line synopses we have so far, they certainly sound interesting!

Will you be checking these out whenever they make it to the small screen?
