Comics is also preparing to release Maze Runner: The Death Cure Official Graphic Novel Prelude. The official tie-in prequel story releases this fall, first in comic book shops on November 1st, and a week later in bookstores.

Maze Runner: The Death Cure Official Graphic Novel Prelude tells the authorized story that takes place between the second and third films in the Maze Runner live-action movie trilogy, and is the perfect setup for The Death Cure which opens in theaters in February.

The third and final film in the story was originally slated to releases in February 2017 but was delayed a year due to on-set injury to star Dylan O'Brien. Official details on the Maze Runner: The Death Cure Official Graphic Novel Prelude below:

Synopsis:

  • They used to live and die by the Maze—a seemingly endless labyrinth of deathtraps that kept the Gladers prisoner and in fear. But the day Thomas arrived, he motivated them all to push back...and escape.
  • But what they discovered was far worse than any maze—a world scorched by disease and controlled by the oppressive organization, Wicked. Thomas, aided by a band of rebels, now readies to take the fight right to Wicked’s doorstep in the hope of finding a cure for the plague that’s ravaging mankind.
  • The events in this all-new, authorized graphic novel take place between 20th Century Fox's second Maze Runner film, The Scorch Trials, and the upcoming third film, The Death Cure, which are based on the best-selling YA fantasy novels by James Dashner.
