This book is the sole result of Larry and Andy Wachowski's love of comics. In collaboration with many of the top names in comics, these one dozen stories set in the word of THE MATRIX expand and further the mythos of the film trilogy. From Larry and Andy Wachowski themselves to names that have played a part in some of the most influential comics of the past two decades (see below), we present a collection born of talent and respect for THE MATRIX itself. Based on concepts by Larry and Andy Wachowski—writers and directors of THE MATRIX TRILOGY. Edited by Spencer Lamm—director of TheMatrix.com and editor of THE ART OF THE MATRIX.
