Rockstar and Marvel have come together to create a Max Payne 3 comic series to be released as a digital graphic novel and in limited print editions. The comic, which explores Max's past and the events that happened in the previous two Max Payne games, is written by Dan Houser and Remedy's Sam Lake.

The first issue, "After the Fall" will be released in the next few weeks for free on the official Max Payne 3 website.

Fresh Ink Online host Blair Butler returns from her AOTS field duties to join returning special guest Michael McMillian (True Blood, the show and the comics) for reviews of Daredevil, All-New Spider-Man, Fatale, Amazing Spider-Man, Action Comics, Twelve, Swamp Thing, and Danger Club.

Square Enix has a pair of release dates to confirm for you this morning, for the upcoming Nintendo 3DS titles Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance and Theatrhythm Final Fantasy. The Disneyfied action/RPG will arrive in North America on July 31, 2012 and the Final Fantasy-inspired rhythm game will be here a few weeks earlier, on July 3.

Both games are already available in Japan, with Theatrhythm having dropped in February and Kingdom Hearts following it in March. Both have been pretty well-received too. The Final Fantasy game moved around 70,000 copies in its first week on shelves and earned a 36/40 from Famitsu. Meanwhile, Kingdom Hearts managed to score a 38/40 from the Japanese gaming mag -- the second highest score for the series from Famitsu, behind Kingdom Hearts 2 -- while moving more than 200,000 units during its first week of sales.

Kingdom Hearts certainly isn't a risky sell for American audiences, but it will be interesting to see how the bizarre, rhythm-fueled take on Final Fantasy fares with the Western crowd.

 With Fresh Ink Online host Blair Butler off fighting space aliens, comic correspondent Brian Compton leads a wild pack of G4 staffers into the charge with reviews of Sweet Tooth, Fairy Tale, Captain America and Level Up. Blair will back next week with special guest Michael McMillian (True Blood). Enjoy!
