Last fall’s sci-fi thriller The Maze Runner, a film adaptation of the first book in James Dashner’s YA series, was a surprise hit, earning over $340 million worldwide. The second film in the franchise, The Scorch Trials, arrives in September, and now, fans have a comic book interlude to tide them over in the meantime.
