Rick Remender and Wes Craig's Deadly Class, which was announced as being under development for television at the last San Diego Comic Con by Marvel golden boys the Russo brothers, has been optioned to pilot by Syfy, according to a report in Deadline.
The comic, which follows a group of teenagers as they attend a high school for assassins and make their way through San Francisco's late '80s punk scene, has been published by Image Comics since 2014. The book focuses on Marcus Lopez, a homeless Nicaraguan teen who gets recruited for the school. His first decision as a student is to kill Ronald Reagan, and that's somehow the least bad decision he makes in the entire book.
The newly-ordered pilot will be written by Remender and Miles Feldstott.

The Russos have a knack for taking superb, well-loved comic book series’ and transforming them into equally successful big screen adaptations. Now, the sibling duo are turning their attention to the small screen, as Deadline reports that they’re currently developing a TV series based on Deadly Class.
Launched back in 2014, Deadly Class is the brainchild of Rick Remender, Wes Craig and Lee Loughridge and hails from Image Comics. It centers on the experiences of a youngster named Marcus Lopez during the late ’80s, and in particular, his school days at a prestigious establishment.
Here’s the brief show synopsis from the source:
The Deadly Class TV series is an unlikely coming-of-age story set against the backdrop of late 80’s counter culture which follows a disillusioned teen recruited into a storied high school for assassins. Maintaining his moral code while navigating a ruthless curriculum, vicious social cliques, and his own adolescent uncertainties may prove fatal.
