Wildstorm to launch StarCraft comic; second World of Warcraft comic coming
Wildstorm Comics has had some success with a turning a number of game-based franchises into comics. Now Newsarama is reporting that Wildstorm is planning to release a comic book series based on Blizzard's Starcraft game series.
The details are few at this point but the report states that Simon Furman (best known for his Transformers comic book work) will write the comic and will "introduce a new team of mercenaries into the Starcraft universe." The story will apparently lead into the storyline for Blizzard's own RTS sequel StarCraft 2. There's no word on when the series will be released. The story also states that Wildstorm plans to release a new World of Warcraft comic book series later this year. Their regular monthly series based on the MMO has been a sales hit for Wildstorm.

Last I checked the World of Warcraft comic was still going on, so I'm not quite certain why they'd start a second series that wasn't intended to be a side story.
Frankly, not a huge fan of Starcraft, but I find the WoW comic series really quite nice. Very very well drawn, and with a nice story. I do spend quite a bit of time in WoW so that might be why, but I'd still probably give the Starcraft comic a look, might get me hooked. Posted at 9:23AM on Feb 8th 2009 by Veras Gunn



That's cool. Though I hesitate to celebrate considering how poor the quality of the Warcraft comic normally is. Posted at 6:08PM on Feb 7th 2009 by Zal
