Author Mark Millar's "Empress", described as "part Star Wars, part Guardians of the Galaxy", is set to be adapted for the big screen.
The movie version of the story will be written by F Scott Frazier, said The Hollywood Reporter.
Millar has partnered with producers Joe Roth and Jeff Kirschenbaum to adapt the fantasy series.
Frazier's credits include "The Huntsman: Winter's War" and "Alice in Wonderland".
The comic centres on the wife of a galactic dictator, who makes the decision to leave her evil husband and take her three kids with her.
With the aid of a bodyguard, she escapes with her brood - Aine, her 15-year-old daughter who wants to be with her father; Adam, her gentle soul of a 10-year-old son who she knows would not survive the trials ahead to be an elite ruler; and Puck, her 18-month-old - to her home world.
But the dictator husband, with armies at his disposal, isn't going to let her go without a fight.
"Nobody creates universes that translate into big movie ideas better than Millar," said Kirschenbaum.
"With Empress, he's raised the bar yet again. Part Star Wars, part Guardians of the Galaxy and part something wholly fresh that only the amazing brain of Millar could spawn.
