STEELHEART: A Battle Against Supervillains

sounds pretty cool!

Nope, not a graphic novel, but a subject that would be of interest to CBM readers in much the way Chronicle was.

Brandon Sanderson is the man. AMOL is going to be epic and the first book in his Way of Kings saga was excellent. Not to mention the Mistborn series.

Thanks for putting this on my radar @ED!

Same here Stutx. Currently on Lord of Chaos and I feel like I'm reading it all again for the first time.

Great hair metal band. "I'll neeeever let you gooooo"

What ever happened to making mistborn into a movie?

The first book of this series is pretty much already finished. I had the opportunity to read an advanced readers copy of it last year, and it is pretty awesome. Not at all typical of what Brandon usually writes, but still in his writing style. They have been discussing the book in his writing group for the past little bit.
The basic premise of the book is that at some point in history a select few people developed different super powers. The problem, however, is that everybody that develops those powers inevitabley starts to see normal people as inferior and they turn bad and power hungry. This power struggle basically ruins the entire society as we know it, and these "Epics" are constantly fighting each other to gain control over more resources and cities. So, this secret society of assassins goes out to kill these Epics, because they are all evil, but these guys don't have super powers, so it is kind of a reverse super hero novel.
It was actually because of this novel that I started reading Mistborn, and then started with WOT. I am pretty sure that the CBM community will enjoy the book, and hopefully the movie adaptation will be good as well.
