Rebel Moon’s Nemesis Unleashed: The Prequel You Never Expected

by

Zack Snyder’s Rebel Moon universe is growing further with a fresh prequel, but it deviates from being a standalone movie or television series. Instead, this prequel manifests as a comic book. Doona Bae portrays the sword-wielding cyborg assassin Nemesis in the Rebel Moon movies on Netflix, which is blossoming into a comprehensive cinematic universe encompassing video games, podcasts, and animated projects. While fans anticipate updates for the third Rebel Moon film, a prequel comic penned by award-winning writer Gail Simone will delve deeper into Nemesis’ past, drawing inspiration from revenge westerns.

Rebel Moon: Nemesis,” from Titan Comics, is a four-part limited series penned by Gail Simone and illustrated by Federico Bertoni. The comic book launches on July 16th, providing eager fans with a temporary fix until updates arrive about “Rebel Moon 3.

Simone expressed that the story seemed predestined to unfold, as her family and she were watching Rebel Moon and instantly captivated by Nemesis. She admired Nemesis’ toughness but also how she handled grief and recognized it in others. Intrigued, she confided in her family, “I’d love to write her someday.” Fate seemed to intervene as she received a message from Zack about writing that very character. Unable to resist the signs, Simone dived into the opportunity, finding Nemesis an electrifying and captivating character who brought joy and excitement in crafting her story.

As a die-hard fan myself, I can’t contain my enthusiasm about fans returning to the captivating realm of “Rebel Moon”! There are countless tales left unexplored, and the saga of Nemesis and her retribution is one you won’t want to overlook. This comic series not only delves into the mystery surrounding Nemesis but also offers thrilling assassinations, breathtaking landscapes, and pulse-pounding showdowns. Collaborating with Gail on this project has been a dream come true, and I can hardly wait for readers to dive deep into the expansive universe she’s crafted!
