Inception Prologue Comic Book Available Online Dan Koelsch, July 13, 2010 We’ve seen a number of prequel comic books for films here at MovieViral, both in the real world (i.e. Star Trek and The Crazies) and online (i.e. Repo Men). As you can tell, the films with a viral presence are more likely to do this, and the latest example, for Christopher Nolan’s Inception, is no exception. The comic, titled “Inception: The Cobol Job”, is available to view in a very stylish format at Yahoo! Movies, where you can also download it as a PDF. It is written by Jordan Goldberg, with art by Long Vo, Joe Ng, and Crystal Reid of Udon. The story tells of the job Cobb (Leonardo Dicaprio) takes that leads to the events in the film. If you’re looking to go in cold, I wouldn’t spoil it by reading this. Otherwise, enjoy and let us know what you think. Source: /Film Viral Marketing Comic BookInception
