Timed to coincide with the August premiere of Universal Pictures' 2 Guns, starring Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg, BOOM! Studios has announced a sequel to the 2007 crime comic by Steven Grant and Mataes Santolouco.

Grant and cover artist Rafael Albuquerque will return for the new six-issue miniseries, appropriately titled 3 Guns, joined by Hack/Slash artist Emilio Laiso.

The original comic followed a DEA agent and an undercover Naval Intelligence officer who, after unwittingly investigating each other, team up to seal money from the mob -- only to learn to late that the $50 million actually belongs to the CIA. This time they're brokering weapons deals from opposite sides, but little do they know there's a third gun in the mix.

"The guys haven’t seen each other and are on the outs with their agencies," Grant tells The Hollywood Reporter. "They both independently end up on opposite sides of a deal going down with Russian weapons manufacturers and anti-government revolutionaries."

Directed by Batlasar Kormakur, Universal's 2 Guns opens Aug. 2.
