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.

Mirror’s Edge: The Comic Book
Electronic Arts announced that it is teaming up with WildStorm, an imprint of DC Comics, to create a limited-edition Mirror’s Edge comic book. EA and DC Comics will distribute the first issue of the Mirror’s Edge comic book series at Comic-Con International this week in San Diego. The game will also be on display at booth #5233.
Based on the upcoming Mirror’s Edge video game, the comic features the talents of writer and story designer Rhianna Pratchett and artist Matthew Dow Smith. Pratchett is also responsible for the game’s script. The six-part comic series will introduce readers to Faith and her fellow “Runners” – a network of couriers who use acrobatic moves to avoid being detected as they traffic packages across a network of rooftops and aerial skyways.
Mirror’s Edge is being developed at EA DICE in Stockholm, Sweden. The game will ship this winter for the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC.
