The latest game-to-comics adaptation is due out in January from IDW Publishing as they have announced a new partnership with Electronic Arts to begin a new line of EA Comics. The line begins in January with the debut of a series based on BioWare's upcoming fantasy RPG Dragon Age: Origins.

EA will be doing the actual funding and editing of the comic book line while IDW will handle printing and distribution of the comics for both print and digital release (via iPhone and other outlets). Previously EA has worked with other publishers such as DC's WildStorm line (for Mirror's Edge) and Dark Horse (for their upcoming Mass Effect comic).

The Dragon Age comic will be a regular monthly series (not a mini-series) and will be scripted by none other than acclaimed sci-fi/fantasy author Orson Scott Card. Humberto Ramos will be the cover artist on the series. However story details and an interior artist have yet to be revealed.

Why the heck does everybody work with that effing homophobe. Game devs are a bunch of goddamned republicans aren't they. I remember that list of presidential candidate donations (donating to Ron Paul excludes you from being labeled a republican).Posted at 1:11PM on Oct 5th 2009 by Jose

You say "none other than" like this is a good choice.

Bad move, EA... why ally yourselves with a rabid gay-hater like Card?Posted at 5:05PM on Oct 5th 2009 by GRT
