Gail Simone is writing the next Rebel Moon comic adaptation based on Zack Snyder’s hit Netflix movies. Rebel Moon: Nemesis from Titan Comics is a prequel to the movies, telling Nemesis’ origin story. Featuring art by Federico Bertoni, the first issue debuts in July 2025.

“Taking place before she became the sword-wielding cyborg assassin, this is an action-packed and badass story in the style of a revenge western, in which an innocent woman finds herself in the path of Imperium soldiers who slaughter her family…” per the description.

“I feel like this story was a little bit destined to happen, somehow. My family and I were watching Rebel Moon and really enjoying it, and I just immediately focused on Nemesis,” Simone said. “I loved the badassery of her, but also the way she addressed grief, and recognized it in others. I just was completely smitten with her, and I actually said to my family, ‘Man, I would love to write her someday.’ Well, someone was listening because I get this message that Zack would like to talk to me about writing that exact character. Who am I to argue with fate? She’s a powerful, powerful character, she leaps off the page (and screen) and I cannot even explain how much I enjoyed playing in this sandbox.”

Rebel Moon: Nemesis #1 comes with covers by Kael Ngu, Danny Earls, Reza Afshar, Alice Meichi Li, and Chris Christodoulou. It will be on comic shelves on July 16.
