DIE HARD: YEAR ONE Comes to Comics!

Die Hard: Year One #1
by Howard Chaykin & Stephen Thompson

America's greatest action hero is translated into the sequential art form for the first time! Every great action hero got started somewhere. Batman Began. Bond had his Casino Royale. And for John McClane, more than a decade before the first Die Hard movie, he's just another rookie cop, an East Coast guy working on earning his badge in New York City during 1976's Bicentennial celebration. Too bad for John McClane, nothing's ever that easy. Join legendary industry creator Howard Chaykin on a thrill ride that's rung up over $1 billion in box office worldwide and become the gold standard for classic action! Yippee Ki Yay! Covers by Dave Johnson, Jock, and John Paul Leon.

I'm actually a bit surprised that no one else seems to have reported this. Personally, I think this could be awesome, or a complete disaster, but Chaykin might be the perfect writer to pull this off.

Check out some Die Hard parodies after the jump!

Was that first one from the Ben Stiller Show? That was great.
