Plot courtesy STARLIGHT RUNNER ENTERTAINMENT
Penciled by ANDIE TONG
Cover by SALVADOR LARROCA
Get a first look at the world of the upcoming Tron: Legacy! Following the events of the original Tron, the year is 1983 and Kevin Flynn is now in charge of Encom. He’s built it into the largest videogame company in the world. But that’s not all Kevin has accomplished – he’s also secretly built the Grid, a digital world filled with living programs! More than a place where he can race light cycles, it’s a place where he can build and test environments only limited by his imagination. But the Grid is far more complex than even its creator realizes, and even Flynn can’t be in two places at once. As this new world develops a life of its own, Flynn is going to first need the help of an old friend, a security program named Tron. Showcasing a key time of the mythology of the Tron world, part one of THE BETRAYAL will show the early days of the Grid, and the first appearances of the heroes and villains that will be seen in Tron: Legacy.

When the world has a problem that’s bigger than any government, special ops team, or C.I.A. smart bomb can solve, they call in the one man crazy enough to solve it: Deadpool.  Possibly unkillable mercenary, definite weapons expert and swordsman, hopeless romantic, nutjob.  It’s that last part that presents a small problem and that’s where Agent Bob steps in.  Bob’s sole charge in life is to point Deadpool at the problem and pull the trigger — not any easy task when your agent is a dime short of a dollar and three cards shy of a full deck, and even harder when you’ve gone deep cover in the impenetrable fortress of Hammerhead, the Grand Don of the most powerful criminal organization in the world, and your unkillable super agent is head over heels for a busty French maid baker named Inga…well, you begin to see the inherent problems of the job.  But no one can take it like Bob, no one can dish it like Deadpool, and no one can show you every last detail if it like MAX!  You may think you know Deadpool …you have no idea.
