28 DAYS LATER Gets a Comic Book Series

I am a big fan of the movie 28 Days Later, It was one of the best zombie films I had seen in a long time when it came out. I also really enjoyed 28 Weeks Later, sure it wasn't as good and didn't make as much money but it was still a really good Zombie movie. Now it looks like we are going to get the story of what happened between 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later.

Boom Studios and Fox Atomic have joined forces to create comic book series based on the Fox Atomic Film Properties. The first comic to be born from this little union will be '28 Days Later'.



According to the official announcement regarding the series, the '28 Days Later' comic’s first story arc will focus on Naomie Harris’ character from the first film, Selena, and bridge the gap between that film and its sequel, '28 Weeks Later.' The series will be firmly based in ‘28 Days Later’ continuity. According to Fox Atomic it will explore a few key questions that will be answered along the way: "what happened to Selena after ‘28 Days Later? How did Selena happen upon the machete she wields in ‘28 Days Later’?”

This should be a fun universe to explore in comic book form. Who knows maybe it will spawn another film. The comic book should hit shelves in July.
