From The Hollywood Reporter comes word that Matt Johnson (Torque) will adapt Red 5 Comics’ sci-fi series Afterburn for Relativity Media.

The series is set in a post-apocalyptic Earth whose eastern hemisphere was destroyed by a massive solar flare, leaving what life remains to mutate from radiation and fallout.

The story centers on a group of treasure hunters who extract objects such as the Mona Lisa, the Rosetta Stone and the Crown Jewels while facing rival hunters, mutants and pirates.
