Capcom Comics Coming

Posted by Stephen Johnson - Tuesday, July 29, 2008 7:28 AM

DC Comics and Capcom are teaming up to bring you comics based on popular game franchises Devil May Cry and Resident Evil!

“Capcom is thrilled to be partnering with DC,” said Germaine Gioia, Senior Vice President of Licensing for Capcom Entertainment, Inc. in a statement “Comics are a critical component in Capcom’s merchandising strategy for our most cherished franchises, as they target the same discerning, loyal fans that care most about these established brands. DC’s undisputed development and distribution strength within the comic industry make them an ideal partner to further expand two of our most successful and sophisticated gaming properties.”

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.

Hey, maybe this will be the way to make a decent video game movie. Take the game, make it a comic, take the comic make it a movie..perfect.

Great, my favorite game company teams up with the most pathetic comic company ever. Awesome. Next thing you know there'll be Assassin's Creed characters in my Metal Gear game...

...oh, crap.

After Comic-con, who else wouldn't wanna get in on the action?? Plus, I think is pretty cool they're teaming up with DC to make this happen. Of course, it will depend how it plays out but overall, it should be pretty cool...

This could be turn out being more interesting than the games themselves. As far as Resident Evil goes, I can't get over slightly screaming every time I'm attacked/mauled from behind, leaving everyone in the house hating me and banning me from further play. However, the story is an interesting one (for the most part).

And I follow Dante in Devil May Cry because . . . well, quite frankly, he's hot, and I enjoy running around and killing things so much better in an action game if I'm a.) a badass and b.) nice looking. The way I see it, hot Dante + good stoyline that doesn't take years to come out = good idea. So, let's hope no one screws this up. . .

I loved the first game, but the rest were just completely isht.
