Dante’s Inferno comic book announced
EA’s Visceral Games will collaborate with DC Comics’s WildStorm imprint to develop a comic book mini-series based on Dante’s Inferno, EA’s video game adaptation of part one of “The Divine Comedy.” The comic will make its world debut at Comic-Con International in San Diego from July 23 - 26. Also at the show, Visceral Games and Starz Media will screen the world premiere trailer of the Dante’s Inferno animated feature, which will be released on home entertainment platforms day-and-date with the EA game in 2010. Both of these projects are based on EA’s adaptation of Dante’s epic story from a contemporary perspective.
A special Issue 0 preview edition of the Dante’s Inferno comic will be given away at Comic-Con International 2009 in San Diego this week July 23 - 26 at the EA (Booth #5213) and DC Comics (Booth #1915) booths. The game will also be featured at the Go to Hell With Dante’s Inferno Panel (12:30 PM - 1:30 PM on Thursday, July 23rd in Room); Dante’s Inferno animated feature trailer preview (12:30 PM - 1:30 PM on Thursday, July 23rd in Room 8); Dante’s Inferno Comic Preview Issue signings (Artist Diego Latorre and writer Christos Gage, DC Comics booth - 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM on Friday and Saturday); Christos Gage Comic Signing (EA booth on Thursday from 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM); and the Dante’s Inferno Limited Edition Lithograph signing (creator Diego Latorre, 750 copies available at the EA Booth Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM). The game will also be playable at the EA booth during the show.
