Zack Snyder Announces REBEL MOON Prequel Comic REBEL MOON: HOUSE OF THE BLOODAXE
Zack Snyder has announced that his sci-fi action film franchise Rebel Moon is getting a prequel comic series from Titan Comics. The comic is titled Rebel Moon: House of the Bloodaxe, and it launches in January 2024.
Snyder created the story for the comic and the four-issue limited series will be written by Mags Visaggio with art from Clark Bint.
In the story, “As war is looming on the horizon on the planet Shasu, the leader of the Bloodaxe family is conflicted between living up to his father’s domineering legacy and maintaining the peace. It is up to him to settle the conflicts within himself, and his family, before the entire planet erupts in war.”
The first Rebel Moon movie has yet to be released, so we still know very little about this sci-fi franchise that Snyder is building. I would love nothing more than to see all of this end up telling a great and engaging story. We won’t know for sure until the first movie is released on December 22nd.
In the movie, “When a peaceful colony on the edge of a galaxy finds itself threatened by the armies of a tyrannical ruling force, Kora (Sofia Boutella), a mysterious stranger living among the villagers, becomes their best hope for survival. Tasked with finding trained fighters who will unite with her in making an impossible stand against the Mother World, Kora assembles a small band of warriors — outsiders, insurgents, peasants and orphans of war from different worlds who share a common need for redemption and revenge. As the shadow of an entire Realm bears down on the unlikeliest of moons, a battle over the fate of a galaxy is waged, and in the process, a new army of heroes is formed.”
The first Rebel Moon movie is titled A Child of Fire and the second film is titled The Scargiver, which will be released next spring.
Rebel Moon: House of the Bloodaxe #1 features cover art by Stanley “Artgerm” Lau, Rafael Albuquerque, Baldemar Rivas, and Andrea Olimpieri. The issue releases on January 10, 2024, from Titan Comics
