Now Free Realms Is A Comic Book

DC Comics’ Wildstorm imprint will publish anything video game-related, as evidenced by the new comic based on Sony Online Entertainment’s family-friendly MMO Free Realms.

Rather than worry about issuing a preview comic months in advance like some video game adaptations, the Free Realms comic series kicks off today, with issue one arriving on comic store shelves around the country as we speak. The book is penned by J.S. Lewis, writer of the Grey Griffon series of young adult fantasy books, with art by art by Jon Buran and Allen Martinez.

SOE has passed along the first several pages, and already I am seeing inconsistencies with the game. For example, all combat is instanced, so that poor guy would have been dead. And then he’d come back to life two or three times before the mission ended. Lewis did however nail the common response to a friend request.
