An email from Titan followed swiftly after and confirmed that the comic is a four-issue series and will act as a prequel to the first of the two Rebel Moon films. It will be written byMags Visaggio, drawn by Clark Bint, and colored by Francesco Segala.
Rebel Moonis a brand new space opera about a galaxy controlled by the oppressive forces of the Mother World. It follows a young woman, Kora, played bySofia Boutella, who used to work for the forces of the fascist Imperium but now leads the fight back against them.
The comic’s title refers to Darrian and Devra Bloodaxe, two resistance fighters played byRay Fisherand Cleopatra Coleman in the movies.
“I’m excited to collaborate with Mags to explore the rich and complex backstory of the Bloodaxe siblings,” said Snyder. “In Rebel Moon: House of the Bloodaxe, fans will get to discover their motivation, as well as the genesis of the rebellion.”
Mags Visaggio described the comic as a “Shakespearean tragedy…It’s all extremely personal, a family in conflict with its patriarch who is in conflict with himself at a moment when they need to be united. It’s a story about failure and the consequences of failure.”
