Before the movie, there was the comic. Walter Hill, who has been working on several graphic novels in the recent years, teamed up with French cult-comic author Matz and the brilliant Jef Martinez, who was responsible for the artwork of the Jim Morrison-biography comic. Both French dudes have a incredible output and are highly talented. Matz wrote the famous 'The Killer' and worked on the video game scripts of 'Splinter Cell' and 'Rainbow Six'. As a duo they have published already couple of things in France. Together with Walter Hill they did Tomboy, which is the German title of 'The Assignment'. It was published by 'Splitter'. We have talked about it on my radio show 'ComicCouch' on bermuda.funk about it. It did have a little of an 'OldBoy' kind of feeling to it...well, it is a crazy revenge thriller.
In the US the series is published by Titan and the covers are drawn by Stephen B.Scott, a cool dude, well known for his work on Batman and also the Indiana Jones, which George Lucas gave him credit for. Also check them if you are into comics.
The trailer has been out since nearly two months already, but I hadn't checked it so far. It does have a good cast and let's see if Walter Hill still can make brilliant movies like in the past.
