Die Hard's Prequel Redefines the Original Movie's Twist
A Die Hard prequel comic makes it seem like John McClane should have realized a lot sooner in the original 1988 film that the movie's villains were only pretending to be terrorists to pull off a heist. In 2010 Boom! Studios published an 8-issue limited series called Die Hard: Year One. The Howard Chaykin-Stephen Thomas collaboration tells the story of a younger John McClane more than a decade before the events of the original Die Hard movie. While comic was never able to mirror the success of the film series, it did make enough of an impression on filmmakers for it to be chosen as the basis of the ill-fated sixth Die Hard movie.
