Motion Comic Fills Backstory Between "Chronicles" & "Riddick"

At the end of The Chronicles of Riddick, Vin Diesel's anti-hero was crowned king of the Necromongers, the army of religious zealots taking over the galaxy.

In the upcoming "Riddick" we will seethe character back on a desolate planet fighting off mercenaries and the indigenous life forms. 

How did he get there?

The sequel is expected to explain most of that backstory--Still Universal Pictures has released an online motion comic prequel which helps to start explain some of the events that occurred between the films including what happened to Vaako (Karl Urban).



Written and directed by David Twohy--the film also stars Katee Sackhoff Jordi Molla Matt Nable, Bokeem Woodbine, Conrad Pla, Raoul Trujillo, Nolan Funk Keri Hilson and WWE wrestler Dave Bautista.

Riddick has a release date of September 6, 2013.
