'Sons of Anarchy has been off the air now since 2014. But now it's getting a prequel.
Series creator Kurt Sutter has announced he's developing a series called 'Redwood Original' about an 18-year-old Jax leaving high school and coming to terms with his future in a motorcycle gang. There is a downside, though. The prequel will not not be a TV show, but a comic book.
Written by Ollie Masters, the book is set to go on sale on August 3. It will feature appearances from Clay Morrow and Gemma Teller-Morrow. Jax's best friend Opie is scheduled to appear, too.

Masters said: "It's Jax prospecting to become a full club member. This is a story about him proving himself - to the club, to their enemies and allies and to himself.
In [the TV series], the shadow of his father looms large over him and it does in our series as well, but for us it's recent history, so it's more of an open wound than a scar being pulled open.
He's still dealing with J.T's death and what it means to exist in a masculine heavy world without a father to guide him."
It'll be interesting to see how well the story converts to paper.
