The fine folks over at Marvel have announced that they will release a comic book prequel series to Walt Disney Pictures‘ upcoming film, Tron: Legacy starring Jeff Bridges, Garrett Hedlund, Olivia Wilde, Michael Sheen and Bruce Boxleitner in October, entitled Tron: The Betrayal.
This two-issue prequel comic bridges the gap between the 1982 classic film Tron and the upcoming Joseph Kosinski directed sequel, Tron: Legacy.
The storytelling picks up in the aftermath of Walt Disney Pictures’ first film in its franchise Tron. Kevin Flynn is now in charge of Encom, the world’s largest video game company. Kevin, a break-through game developer, has built the Grid, a digital world filled with living programs. This new virtual world is about to develop a life of its own and, in order to control it, Flynn’s going to need to help of an old friend…named Tron.
