On occasion, a movie studio will anticipate the success of a comic series and offer to develop it even before the first full story arc has been released. In the case of Undiscovered Country by writers Scott Snyder and Charles Soule, with artist Giuseppe Camuncoli, New Republic Pictures didn't even wait for the release of the first issue!

New Republic Pictures signed a deal to produce a film and potential franchise for the property nine weeks before issue one hit the shelves. Bringing on Snyder and Soule as screenwriters, with Camuncoli as an executive producer, New Republic has signalled that they are committed to the comic creator's dystopian vision.

In Undiscovered Country, Soule and Snyder have detailed a near future where the former U.S.A. has now walled itself off from the rest of the world. Though the happenings behind these walls are a mystery to the world at large, our team of protagonists breach the border in an attempt to solve a global pandemic. Issue #2 will be out on December 11th.
