Turns out Reginald Hudlin is writing the DJANGO UNCHAINED comic
DC's DJANGO UNCHAINED mini series has gotten a lot of press and sales—the first issue was a sell-out, but in all the hoopla we'd always noticed that while it was billed as an adaptation of Quentin Tarantino's screenplay, with art by R.M. Guera and an actual writer was never named. (MOvie scripts don't just adapt themselves.) Well, it turns out, in a publicity blitz last week that now Oscar-nominated producer and long time comics scripter Reginald Hudlin did the actual adapting. The comic is based on the original screenplay and includes many scenes that were cut from the final film, as he told Comics Alliance.

It comes in Deadline's report on the WB win in the Superman case yesterday, and this poster has it all figured out. I've actually edited the comment a bit to get to the punchline faster, but nothing that changes the meaning.
