The Scorpion King is a 2002 American action adventure film directed by Chuck Russell, starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Kelly Hu, Grant Heslov, and Michael Clarke Duncan. It is a spin-off to The Mummy Returns and follows the story of the Akkadian,  Mathayus and his rise to become the Scorpion King... the desert warrior who rises up against a powerful evil sorcerer and his army that is destroying his homeland.

Now Dark Horse Comics presents the untold prequel story to the 2002 Universal Pictures blockbuster hit film, The Scorpion King! This comic series chronicles the events of the low-born warrior and assassin Mathayus, and his tale of breaking his bonds as a slave to become king of his people and lead them in battle against the threat of the evil King Memnon of Gomorroh.

Story/Spoilers:

In issue #1, "The Akkadian Prophecy, Part 1", Prepare yourself for high adventure on the desert sands with The Scorpion King! It's finally here! The eagerly anticipated prequel to the blockbuster hit film The Mummy Returns is coming soon to theaters and comic-shops everywhere! The Scorpion King, a film guaranteed to be one of the hottest movies of the year, now hits comic book stores with an epic of monumental proportions. This is NOT an adaptation of the film, but the first in a two-issue series that follows the exploits of Mathayus, a young warrior destined to rule one of the mightiest empires on Earth. Destiny will call him the Scorpion King. To save his kingdom from an evil tyrant, Mathayus must recover a mystical book from the cave of an unspeakably horrific monster. This book holds the power to prophesize the future, and with it the power to rule the world! Scott Allie, creator and writer of Witch's Son, and penciller Cliff Richards (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) take you to a savage desert land of myth and monsters for action, drama, and mystical adventure!

Finally in Issue #2, "The Akkadian Prophecy, Part 2", Before he became the monstrous human-scorpion hybrid seen in last year's hit The Mummy 2, Mathayus (played by WWF superstar The Rock) was a hero of the Akkadian people, a tribe of warriors in pre-Egyptian times. This issue reveals how his people were wiped out -- at the hands of the evil Memnon. The same month that the new blockbuster, The Scorpion King, hits theaters, Dark Horse concludes the official prequel. Before you see the movie, read this comic and learn the back-story of the hero -- and the secrets of the movie's villain Memnon. Cliff Richards, the favored artist on the Buffy line brings his experience with action-packed Hollywood spinoffs to Dark Horse's newest license.
