The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that Ibrahim Moustafa has signed a three-book deal with Los Angeles-based graphic novel publisher Humanoids. The first book, a science fictional reimagining of The Count of Monte Cristo, titled, simply, Count, will appear early next year. It will follow Redxan Samud, a man framed and imprisoned for treason who, upon his escape, reinvents himself as a man of means — and faithful Automaton Retainer Unit — as a way of seeking revenge on those who set him up in the first place.
