What it’s about
Set in a universe on the brink of war, “Rebel Moon” introduces us to Kora, a compelling outsider played by Sofia Boutella. Kora unites a disparate team of freedom fighters, hired guns, and skilled assassins to safeguard her planet from a formidable invasion led by the tyrannical warlord Regent Balisarius, depicted by Fra Fee. Directed by Zack Snyder, the project is already creating waves of anticipation for its intricate storylines and multi-dimensional characters.
For those who can’t wait to dive deeper into this emerging sci-fi realm, Titan Comics will release a prequel comic series called “Rebel Moon: House of the Bloodaxe” in January 2024. This four-episode miniseries will be penned by the Eisner Award-nominated writer Mags Visaggio and feature the artwork of Clark Bint, enriched by Francesco Segala’s masterful color palettes. Under Zack Snyder’s narrative guidance, the comic prequel aims to flesh out the rich backstory and lore of the “Rebel Moon” universe, promising fans an even deeper, more immersive experience.
