This motion comic gaps the bridge between 2004's The Chronicles of Riddick, and 2013's Riddick. A new attempt on Lord Marshal Riddick's life is made on the Necromongers' ship. It's time for Riddick to end the years long meandering through space and go back to his roots.

Our read · Riddick: Blindsided (2013) reads as a sombre, breathless, inventive action · animation · sci-fi entry — measured in intensity, mid-stakes in scope, cold in temperature, ambivalent in outlook.
