As you may have heard on this weeks episode, I gave a couple details on the upcoming horror game “Dead Space”. Something I failed to mention was that they have done a 6 part “animated comic”, which chronicles the events leading up to the start of the game. The frames of the comic are drawn by none other than Ben Templesmith, artist for the original 30 Days of Night comics.
Each “issue” can be found on YouTube: Issue 1, Issue 2, Issue 3, Issue 4, Issue 5, Issue 6.
You can also download the issues in High-Def from FilePlanet, here.
And be sure to check out a great preview of the game over on GameTrailers.com.
