As reported by The Hollywood Reporter, The Millennium Trilogy will be released as graphic novels. DC Entertainment's Vertigo label is going to be publishing the three graphic novels, with the first one slated for a 2012 release. The other two books will come out at later dates, with The Girl Who Played with Fire set for a 2013 release, and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest for 2014.

Stieg Larsson's brother Joakim has said that Stieg would be excited for the project because “Stieg always liked comics and it will be exciting to see the unforgettable characters he created come to life on the comics page.”

As of right now, no writers or artists have been announced. More information on the project can be found at The Hollywood Reporter, or by clicking this link.
