The limited two-issue series arrives in October and serves as a prequel to TRON: Legacy. Each extra-sized issue of TRON: The Betrayal features a new cover by superstar artist Salvador Larroca (Invincible Iron Man). Featuring art and stories by some of the top names in comics today, this all-new story extends upon the mythology of the world of TRON.

The storytelling picks up in the aftermath of Walt Disney Pictures’ first film in its franchise TRON. Kevin Flynn is now in charge of Encom, the world’s largest video game company. Kevin, a break-through game developer, has built the Grid, a digital world filled with living programs. This new virtual world is about to develop a life of its own and, in order to control it, Flynn’s going to need to help of an old friend…named Tron.



“Marvel Publishing is excited to bring Disney Book Group’s first TRON graphic novel to comic book fans in this limited series,” said Ruwan Jayatilleke, Marvel Senior Vice President, Development & Planning, Print, Animation and Digital Media. "So whether you’re new to TRON or a longtime fan, TRON: The Betrayal is an action-packed thrill-ride that will not disappoint!”

This October, experience this must-read story in TRON: The Betrayal #1 before TRON: Legacy lights up the big screen!

although i will say, in seeing the trailer the mouth on the CG jeff bridges doesn't look right. it has the same feel as the animation did on Beowulf. the animated flick. the mouth just doesn't quite look right.

BmanHall + weneedrevelation-- Yeah, who likes art that adds mood and atmosphere. What a lame idea. Give me bold outlines so I know where my character's boundaries are.

@Bman- i think that style of artwork actually helps to elevate Arkham visually.

I'm fairly liberal when it comes to comic art. I like a lot of styles but was put off by the painting in AA.

Bman - too bad the art was the only cool thing about U3.

Larocca's art always looks great. Was it Extreme X-men that wasn't inked? It was awesome. Can't recall the colorist for that but it was top notch.
