Namco-Bandai and Flagship Studios have today announced a deal with Dark Horse to produce a series of comics based on the forthcoming MMO, Hellgate: London, with the first issue "0" set to be distributed at E3 2006. Following the story of Lyn Darius, an MI5 agent, issue "0" sees the build up towards the Battle of All Hallows' Eve, and the invasion of the demonic forces.
"Dark Horse Comics is the master of comic book story-telling and the dark, action-packed world of Hellgate: London is the perfect property to be adapted into a comic book", said Jeff Lujan, business development representative for NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc. "This tale about how mankind's battle against demonic forces begins will thrill both gamers and comic book fans alike."
"Dark Horse publishes extremely high-quality comics and has partnered with some of the most exciting brands and biggest companies in the world," said Bill Roper, CEO and co-founder of Flagship Studios. "We've worked very closely with Ian and Steve to ensure that the comic will provide the perfect background and insight into the world of Hellgate: London. And since both of them are friends and residents of the city itself, the end result is a spectacular collaboration."
