Netflix’s surprise hit KPop Demon Hunters is getting a new form of merchandise: a 704‑page screen comic boxed set arriving on November 3. The release, co‑published with Penguin Random House,aims to tide over fans as the announced sequel remains years away.
Netflix schedules 704‑page screen comic for Nov 3 release
According to the Netflix‑Penguin Random House announcement, the boxed set will retell the original film’s story using high‑quality stills, effectively turning each frame into a comic panel. The two‑volume collection arrives in both paperback and ebook formats, giving audiences an offline way to revisit the world of HUNTR/X.
Penguin Random House partners on $60 paperback boxed set
The paperback version is priced at $60, while the digital edition costs $19.99, and both are available for preorder through Amazon, Barnes & Noble and other major retailers. This pricing reflects the premium nature of the product, positioning it as a collector’s item rather than a standard graphic novel.
Screen comics revive frame‑by‑frame storytelling trend
Screen comics have gained traction recently, with Viz’s adaptation of Kiki’s Delivery Service serving as a notable example. by presenting the film frame‑by‑frame, the format offers fans a near‑panel‑for‑panel recreation, a novelty that distinguishes it from traditional graphic novels that rely on new artwork.
Sequel timeline remains vague, years away
While the original movie became Netflix’s most‑watched film and even earned an Oscar, production schedules for KPop Demon Hunters 2 have not been disclosed, and insiders suggest the sequel could be several years out. The screen comic therefore functions as both a marketing tool and a stopgap to keep the franchise in public conversation.
When will KPop Demon Hunters 2 enter production?
The source does not provide a concrete start date for the sequel,leaving fans to wonder whether the project is still in early development or facing delays. Until Netflix confirms a timeline, the boxed set remains the most tangible new content for the franchise.
