'Exterminators' Headed to TV
Vertigo series could have second life as Showtime series
Simon Oliver and Tony Moore's bug-annihilating comic series The Exterminators appeared to have taken a lethal dose of RAID, with this month's issue #30 scheduled as the series finale.
But the story, which was originally pitched by Oliver as a TV series, now comes full circle as it will live on in televised form on Showtime. The Hollywood Reporter has the story:
Showtime is reteaming with "Dexter" executive producer Sara Colleton for "Exterminators," a drama project based on the comic by Vertigo/DC Comics.
Created by Simon Oliver and Tony Moore, the comic centers on an ex-con who joins an exterminator company, working with a freakish supporting cast of characters. A mystery surrounding his girlfriend and the manufacturer of an insect poison percolates on the periphery, and the insects are much more dangerous than they seem.

You've got to be kidding me!!!
Wonder if this means another new series, but from another publisher.
First, THE BOYS, and now THE EXTERMINATORS.
DC just can't win, can they? ;-)
