Morrison’s re-imagining of the epic tale of two families at war and the fate of the universe that hangs in the balance features an ancient world fused with incredible technology and super beings.
Virgin Comics and Perspective Studios expect to announce several animated MBX projects in the coming months, including feature film and video game adaptations.
