In anticipation of THE CRAZIES impending release, Overture Films is going, well, crazy with all sorts of multimedia tie-ins, including comics, motion-comics, games, and more. We’ve got the four comic covers and the trailer for your eyes – just check ’em out below!
The Top Cow printed comic book is broken into four chapters: Hopman Bog, Dwyer Creek, Black Pond and Ogden Marsh. The comic series traces an outbreak that takes over the minds and bodies of the citizens in Ogden Marsh, Iowa and each chapter focuses on a different aspect of this epidemic. The books can be downloaded HERE
Starz Digital Media, in association with Double Barrel Motion Labs, will release a four-part motion comic series as an animated companion to the film and based on the comic miniseries. Episode 1 of the motion comic series, “Hopman Bog,” will be available for purchase on the iTunes and PlayStation Networkplatforms on February 23, 2010.
There’s also an interactive game, “Battlemail”, that is a viral application designed to allow users to “battle” their friends as a “Crazy” from the movie via email or through Facebook. Check that out HERE.
But be sure to give the motion comic trailer a look below, it’s pretty freaky. And don’t forget, the live-action CRAZIES will be unleashed on FEBRAURY 26th.
