Resident Evil 5 Comic Tells Of A ‘Dark Burden’
11:00PM Luke Plunkett | WildStorm can’t help it. They’ve got the games fever. A particularly nasty, Capcom-specific strain of it, which is leading them to publish comics based on every Capcom franchise they can think of. More »
Resident Evil And Devil May Cry Comics On The Way
12:20AM Mike Fahey | As I’ve said before, DC’s WildStorm imprint is slowly becoming THE video game comic book label of choice. They’ve got World of Warcraft (an excellent series btw), Gears of War, the recently announced Mirror’s Edge, and now they’re adding two of Capcom’s hottest properties to the list. That’s right, Resident Evil and Devil May Cry are the latest video game properties to get the WildStorm treatment, though the company has already delved into the Resident Evil mythos in the past. “We’re ecstatic that Resident Evil is returning to WildStorm, where we have already established deep roots into the mythos of this world,” said Hank Kanalz, Vice President/General Manager for WildStorm. “We can’t wait to continue, and bring a freshness and excitement to the property to match the amazing things they are doing with the game.” Details on creative teams, launch months, and storylines are still forthcoming. This needs to stop. As a recovering weekly comic book addict, combining comics and video games makes it far too easy for me to justify those weekly comic shop visits. Have mercy!
Gears Of War Getting Comic Book Treatment
1:20AM Mike Fahey | DC’s WildStorm imprint is quickly becoming the go-to comics label for the video game industry. They’ve already got World of Warcraft and the recently announced Prototype, and now Epic and DC announce that Gears Of War will be getting the ongoing comic book series treatment as well. “We are thrilled to be working with DC Comics to further bring to life the Gears of War universe. A lot of our developers are huge comic fans, and have loved the personas and chronicles unique to DC Comics since childhood,” said Dr. Michael Capps, president of Epic Games. “The Gears of War storyline and characters that millions of gamers have come to cherish will be a perfect fit under the WildStorm imprint.” Debuting in October, the comic book series will begin with a story that bridges the events between the first game and Gears of War 2. This is getting to be just evil. Soon I’ll be back to the weekly, overly expensive trips to the comic store I thought I had gotten out of my system 7 years ago. Curse you DC! More »
