This first in a four-part series of animated Wolfenstein graphic novels from Activision tells the story of the original Wolfenstein 3D. Really out of date spoilers follow.

It took me a moment to get my bearings while watching this first in the Wolfenstein animated graphic novel series. I had assumed that it was simply a tie in to the upcoming Wolfenstein game for the Xbox 360, PC, and PlayStation 3, but then Mecha Hitler showed up. It looks like they'll be doing one of these for each game leading up to the latest, so expect many more black, white, and red all-over Nazi soldiers in the weeks ahead.
