When he decides to reclaim his old life, a journey full of murder, mayhem and mathematics ensues.<\/p>\n<p>The comic comes from writer Paul Tobin (<em>Bunny Mask<\/em>) and artist Alberto Albuquerque (<em>The Amazing Spider-Man<\/em>, <em>Letter 44<\/em>). Peter Calloway (<em>Cloak &amp; Dagger<\/em>, <em>Under the Dome<\/em>, <em>Legion<\/em>) is set to showrun the adaptation. Calloway has worked with AfterShock Comics before, having written <em>Shadow Doctor<\/em>. Jon Kramer, CEO of AfterShock Media, and Lee Kramer will serve as executive producers for AfterShock Media.<\/p>\n<p>The deal was made by Rive Gauche, an AfterShock Media company.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are so excited to have found the perfect home at Hulu,\u201d Jon Kramer said. \u201cThis was a very competitive situation, but creatively, they understood not only our vision for the title and the lead Jack Beans, but brought us a writer, Peter Calloway, who we had not only worked with before but also pitched us a concept that was in sync with both Paul and Alberto\u2019s devilishly fun creation. Lee and I couldn\u2019t be happier to be working with Jordan, Ashley, Lea and the entire creative team, as this is a project that we know will get the attention it deserves and will be captivating audiences for years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not often that a story grabs you by the throat and heart at the same time,\u201d Calloway said. \u201c<em>A Calculated Man<\/em> did just that. The moment I read Paul and Alberto\u2019s beautifully bonkers book, I was excited to bring it to the screen. Doing it at Hulu\u2014with their commitment to unflinching, unique stories\u2014is a dream come true.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AfterShock Media, parent company to AfterShock Comics, has signed a deal with Hulu that will see the streamer adapt its upcoming comic A Calculated Man.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1412,"featured_media":16894,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[4800,79],"class_list":["post-16893","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-aftershock-media","tag-hulu","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Hulu Acquires Rights to Adapt A Calculated Man Comic - TVDRAMA<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/hulu-acquires-rights-to-adapt-a-calculated-man-comic\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Hulu Acquires Rights to Adapt A Calculated Man Comic - TVDRAMA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"AfterShock Media, parent company to AfterShock Comics, has signed a deal with Hulu that will see the streamer adapt its upcoming comic A Calculated Man.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/hulu-acquires-rights-to-adapt-a-calculated-man-comic\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVDRAMA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2022-05-23T14:08:12+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2017\/07\/Hulu-ACalculatedMan-0522.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"319\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/hulu-acquires-rights-to-adapt-a-calculated-man-comic\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/hulu-acquires-rights-to-adapt-a-calculated-man-comic\/\",\"name\":\"Hulu Acquires Rights to Adapt A Calculated Man Comic - TVDRAMA\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2022-05-23T14:08:12+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2022-05-23T14:08:12+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#\/schema\/person\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/hulu-acquires-rights-to-adapt-a-calculated-man-comic\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/hulu-acquires-rights-to-adapt-a-calculated-man-comic\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/hulu-acquires-rights-to-adapt-a-calculated-man-comic\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Hulu Acquires Rights to Adapt A Calculated Man Comic\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/\",\"name\":\"TVDRAMA\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#\/schema\/person\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\",\"name\":\"Jamie Stalcup\",\"description\":\"Jamie Stalcup is the executive editor of World Screen.
