SDCC 2013: ‘Riddick’ Motion Comic Released Online!

Briefly: The anticipated release of David Twohy’s Riddick is fast approaching, and at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, Universal Studios unveiled an awesome new motion comic that bridged the gap between 2004’s The Chronicles of Riddick and its upcoming sequel.

Universal has just released the motion comic online, and as expected, it’s pretty damn cool. The video clocks in at just over five minutes, and if you have any interest in seeing Riddick when it launches on September 6th, you’re definitely going to want to watch this first.

Watch the Riddick motion comic, titled ‘Blindsided’ below, and let us know if you’re excited!

The infamous Riddick has been left for dead on a sun-scorched planet that appears to be lifeless. Soon, however, he finds himself fighting for survival against alien predators more lethal than any human he’s encountered. The only way off is for Riddick to activate an emergency beacon and alert mercenaries who rapidly descend to the planet in search of their bounty.

The first ship to arrive carries a new breed of merc, more lethal and violent, while the second is captained by a man whose pursuit of Riddick is more personal. With time running out and a storm on the horizon that no one could survive, his hunters won’t leave the planet without Riddick’s head as their trophy
