A Preview of Old Guard: Force Multiplied #1 – Before Charlize Theron and Idris Elba Get to Be In It

Greg Rucka and Leanardo Fernandez are bringing back comic book Old Guard , about a captain leading a small group of soldiers working as mercenaries through the ages, to Image Comics in December with a new series, The Old Guard: Force Multiplied.

The difference? Well, this time we know it's being made into a movie, starring Charlize Theron, KiKi Layne, Marwan Kenzari, Matthias Schoenaerts, and Chiwetel Ejiofor and directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood.

And people always get more interested in a comic book when it's going to be made into a movie of TV series.

Filming has been happening down the road from me, at Bourne Wood in Surrey. Maybe I should pop by?

Anyway, here's a look ahead at the first issue and the Theron-heavy solicitation…

OLD GUARD FORCE MULTIPLIED #1 (OF 5) (MR)
(W) Greg Rucka (A/CA) Leandro Fernandez
NEW STORY ARC. Soon to be a major motion picture starring CHARLIZE THERON!

Andromache of Scythia and her band of soldiers are back in this second story chronicling the battles and burdens of their dubious immortality. Nile's addition to the team has given them new purpose and new direction, but when you've got 6,000 years of history at your back, the past is always ready to return-with a vengeance.

Written by GREG RUCKA and illustrated by the incomparable LEANDRO FERNÁNDEZ, with colors by DANIELA MIWA, lettering by JODI WYNNE, and design by ERIC TRAUTMANN, the highly anticipated return of THE OLD GUARD is finally here! In Shops: Dec 18, 2019 SRP: $3.99
