Founded by actor Thomas Jane (The Mist, The Predator, 1922) and Courtney Lauren Penn, Renegade Entertainment is teaming with AfterShock Comics on an all-new comic property titled Lycan, we’ve learned this morning. The werewolf tale will feature a script by comic book legend Mike Carey (Lucifer, The Girl with All the Gifts), and it’s based on a story by David James Kelly (Logan, Robin Hood), and Thomas Jane.
In Lycan, “Year of Our Lord 1777: A hardened band of international big game hunters returning from Africa are shipwrecked off a small British island. In exchange for new supplies and the repairing of their good ship The Calydonian, Lord Ludgate engages the men for a task they are particularly well suited for: find the Berserking Beast that has been eating his subjects, including a group of young Benedictine Nuns, and destroy it.”
The initial six installments of the comic series will debut in the first half of 2022.

Thomas Jane said in a statement included with the press release, “I am beyond excited to be partnering with AfterShock Comics to develop the universe of Lycan. It’s a story I’ve been wanting to tell for a long time and I’m very lucky to have a great team of creators with David and Mike to bring it to life through the upcoming comic book series.”
Producer and former chess champion Courtney Lauren Penn oversees content at Renegade Entertainment, producing new media, film, and television series alongside Jane.
