The Raid’s Gareth Evans working on comic book spin-offs

He may not be planning to make new films with Rama and the rest just yet, but Gareth Evans is not leaving Raid fans waiting too long for more action. He's developing comic book spin-offs from the first two movies with Titan Comics.

Evans' inventive, violent and adrenaline-spiking filmmaking style might not seem to be the most natural style to translate to the written word and colourful pages, but with Evans on board, it should at least have the same drive.

"Gareth is a visionary and a huge talent," Titan editor Martin Eden says in a statement picked up by The Hollywood Reporter. "It's a pleasure to work with him on developing his characters for the comic book page. We promise to deliver the same thrilling, fifth-gear adrenaline that fans have come to expect from the franchise." The comics are planned to arrive later in the year.

As for the third Raid movie itself, that's still in development, and probably won't hit screens until at least 2018, so you may have to take this (and whatever else Evans brings us) to tide you over until then.
