Dark Horse to Publish THE HELLBOUND from TRAIN TO BUSAN Director Yeon Sang-Ho
Yeon Sang-Ho is a South Korean director known for the hit film Train to Busan. Now, he has teamed up with translator Danny Lim and Dark Horse to bring his critically acclaimed manhwa (the Korean term for comics and cartoons) The Hellbound to English audiences. The art for the comic is by Choi Gyu-Seok.
One day, you will receive a message from an unknown sender. The message will only include your name, the fact that you are going to hell, and the time you have left to live. There is nowhere to run, nowhere to hide—no escape. When the time counts down to zero, supernatural beings manifest to condemn you to hell. As the nation falls into unrest, a new religious sect begins to interpret the bizarre occurrence as the will of the divine. Could this be a sign of something grander—a blessing in disguise, a holy reckoning, or an evil curse? Amid social chaos and increasing hysteria, the people must find a way to survive this inexplicable terror.
The Hellbound Volume 1 is set to release on October 26 for $17.99 with pre-orders live at local comic shops, Amazon, and Barnes & Noble. In addition, the comic is being adapted into a series for Netflix releasing sometime this year.
