Posted: Jan 03, 2020 @ 06:17pm by Team C2F

Netflix has tweeted out an announcement of a feature film adaptation of the comics series The Old Guard by Greg Rucka and Leandro Fernandez.

The series has been published by Image Comics, debuting in 2017 as a 5-issue mini series and continuing with a follow up series which launched last month.

According to the publisher's website, the comics tell the story of "old soldiers who never die…and yet cannot seem to fade away. Trapped in an immortality without explanation, Andromache of Scythia - 'Andy' - and her comrades ply their trade for those who can find-and afford-their services. But in the 21st century, immortality is a hard secret to keep, and when you live long enough, you learn that there are many fates worse than death."
