In anticipation to December’s I AM LEGEND, Vertigo Comics created a graphic novel prequel to the Richard Matheson story, detailing the events that lead up to the virus that wipes out the population. The prequel’s called AWAKENING, and today Apple has a segment of it online for your viewing pleasure.

Split into different parts, Apple is hosting Part 4: ‘Sacrificing the Few for the Many’… not sure where the first 3 parts are or what they’re about, but part 4 is pretty hardcore, and you can check it out by heading THIS WAY.

See what I mean? I really dig this style of bringing comics to life, as it’s not really animation, but… it is, in a way. Not a cartoon, but truly bringing the panels of the graphic novel to motion. Ah, the simple pleasures in life. Anyway, have a blast with the prequel (it sure as shite is bloody, ain’t it?) and prepare for I AM LEGEND in theaters everywere December 14th.
