In preparation for his highly anticipated upcoming series, Mark Millar will be providing an exclusive prequel to Supercrooks in the March issue of CLiNT Magazine.

The prequel, penned by Millar, will run as an in-continuity beginning to the series and should be read before starting Supercrooks as it’s critical to the upcoming series, and you won’t be able to read it anywhere else other than CLiNT.

To give a little more detail, the magazine’s editorial manager explained:

The series, which has already been optioned as a major motion picture by Universal Studios, is a story about a group of super villains that all move to a centralized location in Spain to wreak havoc with no opposition. This is keeping in line with Millar’s recent fascination with the villainous and gritty side of super-heroics while also giving a nice twist of innovation to his recent works, so this could be a really interesting series to get in to. So, if your interest is piqued, make sure to pick up CLiNT #15 and continue on with the series.

To give fans a feel for what they can expect in Supercrooks, Millar gives a few more details to get readers excited:

Millar has previously used CLiNT, his self-published magazine, to preview other pieces of upcoming work including Kick-Ass 2, Superior, and even Supercrooks with work from the series artist Leinil Francis Yu.

Embedded below is the teaser trailer for Supercrooks and the upcoming issue of CLiNT Magazine.

Issue #15 of CLiNT Magazine will be released in stores on March 28, 2012 in the U.S. (March 29, 2012 in the UK).
