Now I’ve expressed my love for JURASSIC PARK before, most recently in yesterday’s article about DINOSAURS UNLEASHED. Chances are you’re a huge fan of JURASSIC PARK as well because let’s face it, that movie rocks. Well what if I told you we’ve got a JURASSIC PARK update for you all today? Excited? Damn right you are!
But let’s not get too excited. It’s not a film I’m talking about but rather an upcoming comic series from IDW Publishing called JURASSIC PARK: REDEMPTION. The news broke over at IDW’s official website that IDW would be partnering with Universal Partnerships & Licensing to bring us a comic series based on the popular dinosaur trilogy. So what’s the deal with REDEMPTION?
Jurassic Park: Redemption, takes up thirteen years after the very first Jurassic Park motion picture and finds John Hammond’s grandchildren, Tim and Lex Murphy, as well-to-do young adults. While Lex is working with the UN to continue keeping people off of both Isla Nublar and Isla Sorna — her brother Tim has other ideas about how to get their grandfather’s name back in good standing.
Not too shabby. Whatever happened to those kids anyway? Can you say ‘therapy?’ Seriously though… you’re no older than 15 years old and you go through this adventure where you’re running for your life from dinosaurs. That’ll f*ck a kid up for life! So the idea of seeing those two all grown up is definitely intriguing. What says you guys? If we can’t have JURASSIC PARK IV anytime soon maybe this is the next best thing?
IDW Publishing will also be ‘reprinting all the original Topps Jurassic Park comics in a trade paperback collection, most of which have never before been reprinted. Fans attending WonderCon 2010, one of the country’s leading comics and pop culture conventions, held April 2nd through the 4th in San Francisco, can get a sneak peak of the new series at the IDW booth #519 and at the Jurassic Park panel on Friday.’ Groovy.
IDW also offer some teaser art for REDEMPTION, seen above. JURASSIC PARK: REDEMPTION’s first issue of the five-part series is set to hit shelves in June so get ready for that! For more info you can head right over HERE.
