DC Comics Bring RE, DMC to WildStorm Imprint
DC Comics has picked up the rights to two of Capcom’s top franchises in a deal announced this morning. DC Comics will create a comic book series based on Capcom’s popular gaming properties including Resident Evil and Devil May Cry. Details on the new series, including creative team and launch month, will be announced at a later date. Both titles will be published by DC Comics’ WildStorm imprint.
“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 and 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.”
“Dante, Nero and the world of DEVIL MAY CRY is a perfect fit for the sensibilities of our studio,” Kanalz added. “We have such terrific inspiration from the anime and games and we intend on meeting the exceptionally high standard of quality that has been set for this.”
More details on these comics as they are revealed, but this is great news for those among us who count comics and gaming as hobbies of equal importance.
