Marvel Comics has announced that they will be releasing a two-part prequel comic book which will be released before Tron: Legacy hits cinemas.

Tron: The Betrayal will hit shelves in October. Here’s the blurb…

“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.

Ruwan Jayatileke, Marvel’s senior VP of developing and planning said…

“Marvel Publishing is excited to bring Disney Book Group’s first TRON graphic novel to comic book fans in this limited series, so whether you’re new to TRON or a longtime fan, ‘TRON: The Betrayal’ is an action-packed thrill-ride that will not disappoint!”
