Inception: The Cobol Job, a Comic Prequel to the Film

This Friday, July 16th, the highly anticipated film Inception hits theaters. To whet your appetite in the meantime, Inception: The Cobol Job, a comic prequel (or prologue), has been published, which can be read and dowloaded from Yahoo! movies.

Written by Jordan Goldberg, the comic is based on characters created by Christopher Nolan (who wrote the screenplay).

The film stars Leonardo DiCaprio as Dom Cobb, a thief skilled in the art of extraction, stealing valuable secrets from deep within the subconscious. But this ability has also made him an international fugitive, with one last chance at redemption if he can accomplish the impossible -- inception. Instead of the perfect heist, Cobb must pull off the reverse, not to steal an idea but to plant one. It could be the perfect crime.
