Six-issue comic miniseries "Amped" will debut later in the year on DC Comics imprint Vertigo. Kripke will then adapt his own series for the USA network, Variety reported.
"Amped" focuses on family man Josh Jaffe, who purchases a 'smart pill' online. Instead of increasing his focus, the tablet gives him superhuman strength and power.
Kripke said: "Pretty much everything I've ever written has been insanely influenced by Vertigo, so it's a dream come true to write my first comic there.
"So I'm having the time of my life writing the comic - and basing the TV series off the comic, too. I can't wait for readers to read it - and then down the road, for watchers to watch it.
