In 1999, Steven Sommers recreated the Adventure film for the new millennium with his reboot of The Mummy. This film spawned sequels, books, comics, video games, cartoons, and a spin-off series – The Scorpion Kin. With the death of both the Mummy and Scorpion King franchises with reboots, it seemed the perfect time to explore the universe created by Steven Sommers.
The Unofficial Guide to The Scorpion King and The Mummy Universe is a uniquely comprehensive yet humorous excavation of the adventures of the O'Connell family and Mathayus, the Scorpion King in all their incarnations as well as the influences and legacy of these franchises.
This volume digs and delves into the questions left by the universe, and exhumes the unfinished comic series The Mummy: Valley of the Gods and answers "what do we really know about the unmade fourth Mummy movie hinted at the end of The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor?"
