John Wick: The Comic… for when the movie franchise and upcoming TV Series just aren’t enough.
Yes, everyone’s third favourite Keanu Reeves character (after Neo and Ted ‘Theodore’ Logan, of course) is set to have his history explored this September when Dynamite Comics bring the new comic series to shelves.
Writer Greg Pak, who also wrote Planet Hulk shared the following statement:
“I was on board pretty much as soon as I got the call and heard ‘John Wick.’ I’m a huge Keanu Reeves fan and loved the John Wick movies, which had the kind of kinetic action and intriguing mythology that seemed like a perfect fit for comics. I’m also always happy to work with my friends at Dynamite, who are always a pleasure to make comics with. And the art I saw from Giovanni Valletta blew my mind — he’s totally nailing Keanu Reeves’ likeness while creating emotional, dynamic, exciting action.
“This book is going be beautiful. But what really sealed the deal was when Dynamite Editor Anthony Marques said we had the greenlight to tell a John Wick origin story. That was astounding to me — we’re not just telling another fun adventure with the character; we’re actually going to be able to add to this character’s and world’s tremendous mythology by telling an origin story! What could be cooler than that?”
Well, it looks like our weekly pull-list just got a bit bigger starting in September.
