DC/WildStorm is going to release a comic series based upon the GEARS OF WAR game.
Cary, N.C. — “Gears of War,” the multi-million copy seller from Epic Games, will soon be coming to newsstands.
DC Comics plans to publish a comic book series based on the man vs. locust horde title this fall. The series will be launched under the WildStorm imprint that is owned by DC Comics. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Asked if any other comics publishers bid for the Gears rights, an Epic spokeserson declined to answer. "Can't comment on private negotiations," she said.Epic is developing a sequel to Gears. The game is scheduled for release in November for the Xbox 360 platform.
“Big guns and monsters — what a perfect comic book for WildStorm,” said WildStorm general Manager Hank Kanalz. “We have an opportunity to work closely with Epic to add to the canon of the Gears of War mythos, so you can imagine how excited we all are.
“Epic sets the bar very high, in graphics, story, and game play — and expect no less from our series, starting with our lead-in arc that fills in the gaps between the first game and the upcoming sequel,” he added.
