F.J. DeSanto (Cyborg 009) wrote the comic, which will feature art by Jesus Hervas. Toni Infante is the cover illustrator.

Hitman: Agent 47 stars Rupert Friend as the titular anti-hero, a genetically engineered assassin, along with Zachary Quinto and Hannah Ware. The film is produced by Charles Gordon, Adrian Askarieh, and Alex Young.

The comic sees Agent 47 hunting a deadly adversary in a story that leads directly into the opening scene of the feature film. This marks the first fime the character from the game will appear in a comic.

The idea for the comic came from Boom’s Stephen Christy and Askarieh, both of whom spearheaded a partnership between the studio, the filmmakers and the publisher.

The comic broadens the partnership between Boom! and Fox. Boom has a first-look deal with Fox for film and television and is now also producing comics on Fox properties. In the past year, Boom! has put out comic book tie-ins on Maze Runner, Planet of the Apes, Sleepy Hollow, and Sons of Anarchy.
