The Matrix Comics
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Matrix Comics is a collection of short comics set in the fictional universe of the Matrix series. Originally presented as webcomics on the series' official website,[1] the stories have since been featured in two printed volumes published by the Wachowski brothers' company Burlyman Entertainment.
The comics' editor was Spencer Lamm. The Wachowski brothers, the creators of the Matrix series, contributed one script to the project, "Bits and Pieces of Information", aspects of which were later included in their Animatrix short animated film "The Second Renaissance".
