Something I was made aware of and decided to share with you guys.
The following is an Indiegogo campaign that you may or may not have heard of - featuring two comics that serve as prequels to First Blood.
The first comic is a graphic novel called "First Kill" and deals with John's first tour; John having previously gotten in trouble with the law and went for boot camp rather than prison, with him and his new group of friends arriving in Vietnam with hopes of a little action.
The story is by Sylvester Stallone and comic writer Chuck Wilson, who also wrote the comic's script.
The second comic, "A New Kind of War", has been scripted by Scottish author Will "The Critical Drinker" Jordan - writer of the bestselling Ryan Drake action-thriller book series and of which a short film based off the series (called Rogue Elements) has been successfully funded.
This marks Will's first foray into comics, with the artwork by Kenneth Loh and the story focusing on Colonel Trautman when he was a young special ops soldier during the Korean War - sent on a mission deep behind enemy lines and learning the lessons that would lead him to form Rambo's unit in Vietnam.
