‘Dune: Part Three’ Cowriter Brian K. Vaughan Has a New Comic on the Way

Brian K. Vaughan, the co-writer of Dune: Part Three, has revealed that he is working on a new comic called Roam, set to release in February of the following year. Roam is a superhero sci-fi series, a departure from Vaughan's previous work, which includes Saga, Y: The Last Man, and Runaways. This new project was born out of a desire to collaborate with Cliff Chiang again, following their successful partnership on Paper Girls, which was adapted into a 2022 Amazon Prime Video series.

Vaughan expressed excitement about Roam, stating that it is "completely unlike anything I've ever done" and that it is "certainly my first true superhero book."

As for his concerns regarding AI's impact on the industry, Vaughan expressed fear and uncertainty. He mentioned that jobs of previsualization and storyboard artists are at risk, and he fears that the future may bring content over bespoke human-made stories. Vaughan also noted his reluctance to write adaptations of his own comics, citing the process as "violence to" his work. Despite this, he remains focused on creating new content, as he believes that there is still a market for human-made stories.
