BOOM!'s Unthinkable posits SIGMA-like group thinking the unthinkable

Writer Mark Sable and illustrator Julian Totino Tedesco seem to be turning the science fiction writers' think tank Sigma into a fictionalized predecessor in their new mini-series comic Unthinkable. Published by BOOM! Studios, Unthinkable (debuting in May) posits a group "hired to think the unthinkable. But what happens when the unthinkable actually happens? After 9-11, best-selling author Alan Ripley joins a government think tank consisting of the most imaginative minds in diverse fields. Their job? Think of nightmare scenarios and crippling terrorist attacks so the government can safeguard against them. But what happens when the think tank folds, and the attacks start to happen?"

BOOM! is so hot about the comic that they've put up a ten-page preview as a pdf at this link.

Writer Mark Sable also wrote Image Comics's Grounded and DC's Cyborg: Rage Against the Machine. Argentinian artist Julian Totino Tedesco is currently discussing the work of drawing the five-issue series on his blog, from receipt of the script on through the whole process.

The first issue will be available in two different covers (both pictured on this page).
