24: Live Another Day is to be preceded by a new comic book series.

Ahead of the Fox action show's return on May 5, the new comic from IDW will bridge the gap between the show's eighth season and Live Another Day.



24 Underground will be released in April, and is written by Ed Brisson (Secret Avengers) and artist Michael Gaydos (Alias).

"Ed burst onto the comics scene with the sci-fi thriller Comeback, which was heavy on plot and adventure, a style that fits nicely with an established property such as 24," said editor Denton J Tipton.



"We've paired the rising star with veteran artist Michael Gaydos, whose draftsmanship and storytelling skills are second to none. Buckle up for a high-octane tale of Jack Bauer's missing years!"

IDW President Greg Goldstein added: "24 was one of IDW's earliest successes with licensed comics. And the show's stature has grown immensely since then.

"Returning to the world of 24 in comics, in conjunction with this highly anticipated return to TV, makes perfect sense."
