RED Prequel Comic Book Cover Art
Our friends over at /Film scored some great looking comic book cover art for a RED prequel, which will give us a background story leading up to the events of the big screen adaptation of the Warren Ellis comic. The art for all of the covers is done by RED co-creator Cully Hamner. All four hit comic shops on September 15th.
I'm really excited about seeing this movie, it looks like it's going to be a hell of a lot of fun. Check out the cover art for the comics below, each one has a little synopsis.
