I'm Corey with the story.

Ready Player One and its sequel are stepping into graphic novel territory for the first

time.

Ernest Cline's hit books from 2011 and 2020 are getting adapted by 10-speed graphic.

The first one drops with a target exclusive hardcover on October 6th this year in the

US.

The trade and deluxe editions hit everywhere on March 2nd, 2027.

In the UK and Canada, it's available through all major retailers starting October 6th via

Del Rey and Penguin Random House UK.

Ready Player Two follows in 2028.

DC Comics of that Scott Peterson is writing an artist Meredith Lachston is bringing the

visuals.

Fans are buzzing because the story hits that sweet spot of dystopian escape into the Oasis

virtual world back in 2045.

David Watts hunts Easter eggs tied to old school pop culture for a massive fortune and control

of it all.

Spielberg's 2018 movie already brought it to life with Ty Sheridan leading the cast.

Cline's thrilled, saying it's a joy to see the adventure pop off the page with Lachston's

art, capturing the heart and high stakes fun for old fans and newbies alike.

Publisher Aaron Weiner adds, they're honoring the spirit while leaning into what graphic

novels do best, like immersive details.

These editions were on $35 in the US and 25 pounds in the UK, so gear up to dive back

into the Oasis on paper.

It's gonna be epic.
