Quentin Tarantino has decided to do a sequel to his brutal and blood-soaked creation, Django Unchained, but this time in a comic book platform. 

The sequel will be a comic book. More intriguing is that Django will team up with the legendary Mexican hero, Zorro.

Tarantino, 51, is known for his 'Neo Noir' movies and will be co-writing the comic book sequel to Django Unchained. The movie won him the 2012 Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay. It earned US$425 million at the box office and took only US$100 million to produce.

Assisting Tarantino to intersect the stories of Django with Zorro will be comic book writer Matt Wagner, who will write the final script.

"I'm very, very excited about both this story and the opportunity to work with Matt," Tarantino said.

"It was reading his Zorro stories that convinced me what a good idea it was to join these two icons together.  And the story idea we came up with is thrilling, and I think will be an exciting new chapter for both characters."

Reginald Hudlin, who's working on Django/Zorro as editor, said Django/Zorro is the first time Tarantino has "explored the continuing adventures of one of the characters from his films."

Dynamite Entertainment will co-publish the mini comic book-series with DC Entertainment.

The Django/Zorro series is set for release late this year.
