 When we started putting these comics together well over a year ago, we had no idea how well received they would be by both fans and the comic book industry alike. This was before the movie came out, before anyone knew what the Matrix was. It’s a different time and place now, with millions of people not only knowing what the Matrix is, but visiting the world Larry and Andy created often, whether through the DVD, midnight theater showings (which in some areas are weekly weekend events), and the web site. |
 We managed to get some wonderful names involved for the first wave of comics. Neil Gaiman, Ted McKeever, Paul Chadwick, Geof Darrow, among others. For this second wave, most of these names are back, but this time, we’re going even bigger. Longer stories. More names. And we’re particularly excited that the pages we’ve been collecting these past months launch today, with Peter Bagge. As you’ll see over the coming months, with stories and art as good as we’re receiving, the impulse to post immediately is hard to fight. Among the new faces: John Van Fleet (BATMAN), Dave Gibbons (WATCHMEN), Simon Bisley (SLAIN, JUDGE DRED), with many more surprises. Stories, pin-ups, even FLASH pieces, done by the creators themselves, comic book veterans working with a love of the medium. We really couldn’t have asked for anything more.

For those that don’t know (though if you’re here, this is unlikely), sequels are in pre-production. News is forthcoming, but in the meantime, kick back and enjoy some alternate explorations in The Matrix.
