For those of you who can't get enough of Christopher Nolan's dreamworld thriller Inception, you may or may not know there is a prequel available online.
We've been sent a special link where you can watch it and it's included below.
The 19-page online prologue, in comic-strip format, is written by Jordan Goldberg with artwork by Long Vo, Joe Ng and Crystal Reid of Udon.
Goldberg was a producer on Nolan's The Prestige, The Dark Knight and Inception, and a writer on animated collection Batman: Gotham Knight.
Inception: The Cobol Job focuses on Dom Cobb (played by Leonardo DiCaprio in the film) and his right-hand man Arthur (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) as they go on a mission that leads them towards the opening events of the movie.
You need to see the film before you read the prequel comic.

If like me you’re counting down the seconds until Inception is released this Friday, then here’s something that should help you wile away a few minutes. It’s a web comic strip that sort of serves as a bit of back story to Inception titled ‘Inception: The Cobol Job’. Written by Jordan Goldberg, producer of ‘The Dark Knight’, ‘The Prestige’ and ‘Inception’, and featuring artwork by Long Vo, Joe Ng, and Crystal Reid, the comic is based on the film’s original screenplay.
It’s basically a marketing thing for the film and in no way is it essential that you read it before you watch the film but hey, it’s a bit of fun. Here’s the link.
