15 Most Obscure Comic Books That Were Turned Into Movies
4. 2 Guns
The limited series 2 Guns was first released by Los Angeles-based Boom! Studios in 2007. It was created by Steven Grant, who had been researching police tactics and inspiration ultimately struck. The end result was a 'buddy cop' story featuring two agents - one with the Drug Enforcement Agency and one of the Office of Naval Intelligence - facing off with a Mexican drug cartel. A six-part sequel, 3 Guns, first hit the shelves in 2013.
Also in the year 2013, the feature film with the same title as the original series premiered with Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg headlining its cast. The movie performed well financially and received mixed reviews. Efforts have been to adapt 3 Guns as well, but so far little interest has been shown in pursuing the follow-up.
