Newly formed Virgin Comics has struck a deal with John Woo and Terence Chang’s Tiger Hill Entertainment and comicbook scribe Garth Ennis to create “Seven Brothers.” The new comic series — set to debut in October — centers on the story of seven siblings who depart on Chinese explorer ships and settle on seven different continents. Five hundred years later, their descendants must unite to thwart an evil that is threatening the world. The descendants are an unlikely pairing after having mixed their Chinese bloodline many times over. Project is part of Virgin Comics Director’s Cut line, set up as collaboration with name filmmakers. “Seven Brothers” is the first installment of the line with other directors’ projects expected to be announced in the coming months.
