Tron Rebooted....Monthly!

Post by Loomis »

Don't know if this has been posted previously, but there is going to be a new monthly Tron comic. Sounds cool.
Mind you I collect any comic that is, you know, available.

From Newsarama http://www.newsarama.com/Tron.htm
Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and Uncle Scrooge aren't the only Disney characters making their way to comics shortly. Today, 88 MPH Studios, Inc. and Disney Publishing Worldwide announced they will team to produce a new Tron comic series. Yes, Tron.

According to 88 MPH's press release, the new series comes on the heels of the new Tron state-of-the-art computer game, Tron 2.0, to be released this August through Buena Vista Games. 88 MPH Studios will be responsible for developing comic books based on both the original movie and the new game.

The Tron comic book will follow the adventures of Jet Bradley, son of the movie's Alan Bradley, as he explores the Tron universe and comes to terms with living a dual life. In the real world, he's just a normal 20-year-old; in the digital world, he's a hero. Along the way, Jet will fight rogue programs, deadly viruses and other cyber-threats.

This first comic mini-series will be based on the Tron 2.0 computer game universe, which is set 20 years after the
movie and promises intense action and breathtaking adventures in a digital world. The second series, to be
launched in Spring 2004, will go back 20 years in the past to explore the original Tron universe.

Each full color, standard 22-page comic will be released on a monthly basis.

The 1982 Tron film centered around Kevin Flynn, a computer genius who gets sucked into the electronic world of a super-computer to battle the evil dictator, Master Control. Starring Jeff Bridges, Bruce Boxleitner, Cindy Morgan and David Warner, Tron pioneered the use of computer-generated graphics in movies.
I've seen the Tron 2.0 action figures in shops, and they look pretty groovy. Might be something to look out for...

Yeah, the game sounds pretty cool.
I might have to finally invest in a console to get this thing (assuming it will be a console game, and not a PC one).
My poor little PC can't handle much beyond Pong clones at the moment.
Ok, slight exaggeration, but so much cool stuff coming out in the gaming world I can't play.
Anyways, any new Tron is good!
