EA Joins the comic book industry!


Listen up Comic and Video game fans because today IDW Publishing has announced that it has teamed up with EA two launch two new comics and an entire EA imprint! EA will be calling their imprint very simply "EA Comics", they have also confirmed on IGN that all titles will be available not only in print but also to download to the IPhone and IPod Touch.
Only two titles have been officially announced, Army of Two which will be written by Peter Milligan from Hellblazer and X-Men fame. The first Army of Two story arc will be called "Across the Border" and will focus on Salem and Rios, two ex-Army Rangers who are trying to form their own private Military Corporation. The comic story will follow the storyline of the first game, but it takes place before the Invasion by Shanghai.

The second comic that EA will be publishing is called Dragon Age and no details have been released yet except that it will be based off Bioware's new game and written by Scott Card. 

Stay tuned for more details

  1. Really? Army of two isn't exactly the best story, its more focused on gameplay. But the bromance is priceless

  2. I think thats why they are starting with Army of Two for one of their first comics, because of the really good chemistry between the two characters and the fact that many people complained about the lack of story. Maybe they are making this to fill in the gaps
