Sean Phillips partners with BOOM Studios

This May BOOM! Studios brings you a World War II epic like no other with 7 PSYCHOPATHS, written by Fabien Vehlmann and interior art by CRIMINAL co-conspirator Sean Phillips.
With World War II in full swing, there’s only one way to draw the war to a quick end: kill Hitler. But who would be insane enough to try? One person knows just the men to do it. Insane? Psychotic? Mad? Call them what you will, but the 7 PSYCHOPATHS are now the only hope the world has!
“7 PSYCHOPATHS is probably the most difficult story I’ve ever drawn,” said artist Sean Phillips. “Nine or ten panel pages, having to find reference for everything I had to draw, drawing a type of story I’d never tackled before, it was hard work. Many times I wondered if it was worth the effort. Then I started to receive jpegs of Hubert’s coloured pages, and it was definitely worth it. He’s made it look like a book drawn by someone who knew what he was doing! It seemed as if I could do Fabien’s great story justice after all.”
7 PSYCHOPATHS #1 hits shelves in May, is written by Fabien Vehlmann and features cover and interior art by Sean Phillips. For more information about this and other great titles please investigate BOOM! Studios on the web at www.boom-studios.com.

I am already there.
This is impressive. Boom! is living up to its Dollar Bin Best Publisher Award winner. Sounds somewhat similar to Inglorious Basterds, but i loved that movie and Sean Philips on anything is good. That Darkwing Duck looks fun too.
interesting premise. i think i would actually check this out.
I heard about this book a couple years ago. It was originally published in France in 2007. The book is part of a series called 7. Each book was done by a different creative team and set in a different milieu.
7 Psychopathes
7 Guerrières (Warriors)
7 Missionnaires
7 Voleurs (Thieves)
7 Prisonniers
7 Pirates
7 Yakuzas
Here a link to the French Publisher's page for the book which includes some preview art. The text is all in French. 7 Psychopathes.
