Gears Of War Getting Comic Book Treatment

DC's WildStorm imprint is quickly becoming the go-to comics label for the video game industry. They've already got World of Warcraft and the recently announced Prototype, and now Epic and DC announce that Gears Of War will be getting the ongoing comic book series treatment as well.
"We are thrilled to be working with DC Comics to further bring to life the Gears of War universe. A lot of our developers are huge comic fans, and have loved the personas and chronicles unique to DC Comics since childhood," said Dr. Michael Capps, president of Epic Games. "The Gears of War storyline and characters that millions of gamers have come to cherish will be a perfect fit under the WildStorm imprint."
Debuting in October, the comic book series will begin with a story that bridges the events between the first game and Gears of War 2. This is getting to be just evil. Soon I'll be back to the weekly, overly expensive trips to the comic store I thought I had gotten out of my system 7 years ago. Curse you DC! More »

MK v DC Has Little Blood, NO FATALITIES?

Wondering why DC comics would seemingly sign onto a project that would let Scorpion rip Wonder Woman's head off? You know...kill a superhero? So were we. So were you. This might explain it: a former Midway employee has contacted us and said that he worked on the game, and that Mortal Kombat v DC features "no fatalities and little-to-no blood". In other words, "MK is dead". No blood, no fatalities...if this is true, why is this game called Mortal Kombat again?
Next Mortal Kombat Is...MK v DC?

rumor

Next Mortal Kombat Is...MK v DC?

Mortal Kombat fan site Mortal Kombat Online are claiming that this image (click for bigger version), supplied to them by "a source within Midway", is the first piece of official art from the next Mortal Kombat game. And yeah, as you can guess from the miserable, hulking guy on the right, it'll be a Mortal Kombat vs DC game. Out of love for the DC universe, I'm trying to both accept this is real and be excited about it, but...firstly, there hasn't been a decent Mortal Kombat game in over ten years, and second...hey guys, Capcom did this a little while ago. With Marvel. You may have heard of it. Little late to the comics crossover party, aren't we?
Mortal Kombat Online [thanks everyone!]

For A Lazy Friday: DC's Atari Comics

Back in the good ol' days of Atari, there wasn't a lot of story you could cram into a few kilobytes. To counter this, Atari teamed up with DC to distribute mini-comics along with Atari 2600 games. One was a long-running series of comics about a group of extraterrestrial super heros called Atari Force; Swordquest, a line distributed with Waterworld, Earthworld and Fireworld, Centipede and Yar's Revenge.
