Legion Movie Gets Comic Book Tie-Ins from IDW
I recently posted the trailer to the new movie Legion. Turns out, IDW will be doing comic book tie-ins for the movie, and the first two issues of the weekly series Legion: Prophets were solicited with their November titles.
From IDW, here are the descriptions for issues 1 and 2:

Legion is the Sony/Screen Gems feature coming in January 2010 and featuring an all-out war between Heaven and Earth. Legion: Prophets, a weekly, 4-part series, introduces us to the “Prophets”‹ordinary people who have yet to understand the powers they possess and their very special role in the apocalyptic events that are about to sweep across the globe two days before Christmas. The series is plotted by the film’s director, Scott Stewart, and scripted by Tom Waltz. 32 pages, $3.99.

In the second of four weekly issues that lead directly into the movie, readers are introduced to the Guardian — a three thousand-dollar-an-hour modern day geisha name Miko Hogosha. Tonight she awakens to an apocalyptic nightmare in an ultra high-tech penthouse apartment in New York, and must escape a city gone mad in her quest to get to the new Cradle of Civilization. 32 pages, $3.99.
I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m looking forward to this movie and I definitely plan on picking up this mini-series. It’s going to be interesting to see how these play into the movie.
Legion: Prophets will be in stores in November. Legion is set to open in January of next year. Click here to see the Legion movie trailer.
