The latest entry in the expansion of the Dragon Age game franchise has now been released as IDW Publishing has shipped the first print issue of the comic book series based on BioWare's fantasy RPG game Dragon Age: Origins. The first issue was previously released for the iPhone/iPod Touch. You can also check out the first seven pages from the first issue for free.

While the comic was first announced as an ongoing monthly series, IDW is now stating that the Dragon Age comic is now planned as a six issue series. The second issue won't be released until sometime in June.

If you don't care for all of that old fashioned print stuff when it comes to comic books, IDW Publishing may be your company. The publisher is one of the leading comic book companies distributing their content online via iTunes which can be read on a PC or via an iPhone/iPod Touch. This week the company released the first full issue of their comic based on the Dragon Age Origins RPG from BioWare.

As we have reported before the comic is co-written by well known author Orson Scott Card. If you still like to buy comics at your local comic book shop the first Dragon Age issue will be available on March 31. However there will be a long wait for the second issue; it's currently set for release in June.

A few months ago comic book publisher IDW Publishing announced a line of comic books based on Electronic Arts' games. That included plans for a comic based on BioWare's RPG Dragon Age: Origins. While the first issue was scheduled for a March release to comic book stores, Big Download has learned, via IDW's editor-in-chief Chris Rydall, that the launch of the comic has been delayed to April. Also, the second issue of the ongoing series will be released this June.

The comic is still expected to be co-written by Orson Scott Card who is working with co-author Aaron Johnston. The comic will have interior art by Mark Robinson and covers by Humberto Ramos.

Earlier this year we reported that comic book publisher IDW Publishing was teaming up with Electronic Arts to launch a new line of EA Comics. Today IDW has revealed that the first issue of the monthly Dragon Age comic book series will ship to stores in March.

As previously reported the series, based on developer BioWare's fantasy universe they launched in their recent RPG Dragon Age: Origins, will be written by acclaimed novelist Orson Scott Card. He will work with a co-writer on the project, Aaron Johnston, with interior art by Mark Robinson and covers by Humberto Ramos (which you can see to the right).
