Titan Comics and Statix Press have announced Snowpiercer: Extinction, a new prequel graphic novel set before the extinction incident that led to the events of the original Snowpiercer graphic novel trilogy.
Titan’s next installment in the critically-acclaimed Snowpiercer saga will be released in in 2019, written by Matz (Triggerman), with art by original Snowpiercer artist Jean-Marc Rochette. Debuting alongside Titan’s new graphic novel, the Snowpiercer franchise will also welcome the highly anticipated TV adaptation.
Set more than seven years after the world has become a frozen wasteland, the TV adaptation of Snowpiercer centers on the remnants of humanity who inhabit a gigantic, perpetually-moving train that circles the globe. Class warfare, social injustice and the politics of survival are questioned in this riveting television adaptation. The TV series, starring Jennifer Connelly (A Beautiful Mind) and Daveed Diggs (Hamilton), will air in the U.S. on TNT and internationally on Netflix (excluding China).
The series is a co-production of Tomorrow Studios (a partnership between Marty Adelstein and ITV Studios) and Turner’s Studio T, along with CJ Entertainment. Tomorrow Studios’ Marty Adelstein (Hanna) executive produces alongside Becky Clements (Good Behavior). Showrunner Graeme Manson (Orphan Black), Scott Derrickson (Doctor Strange), and the original film’s Bong Joon Ho, Park Chan-wook, Lee Tae-hun, and Dooho Choi are also executive producers on the series.
Titan’s first series of Snowpiecer graphic novels, Snowpiercer: Escape, Snowpiercer: The Explorers, and Snowpiercer: Terminus also inspired the 2014 film, starring Chris Evans (Captain America), Tilda Swinton (Doctor Strange), and John Hurt (Hellboy).
Retailers can order Snowpiercer: Extinction from an upcoming edition of Diamond PREVIEWS.
