Titan Comics Team Up With Bethesda For The Evil Within, Wolfenstein and Dishonored Comics!

Posted on by

Announced at E3, Bethesda Softworks are working on three exhilarating new video games for multiple platforms: The Evil Within 2, Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, and DLC for Dishonored 2. Titan Comics has announced that they’re teaming up with the legendary developer to create in-canon stories based on these hotly anticipated properties, due to hit comic stores and digital devices this Fall.

Following Titan Comics’ smash-hit prequel comic series to The Evil Within in 2015, Titan Comics will publish a direct lead-in to the upcoming survival horror videogame sequel, inviting readers back into the blood-curdling world as imagined by Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami!

Coming to comic stores and digital devices on September 6, Titan Comics’ new The Evil Within comic book series finds Detective Sebastian Castellanos still shell-shocked by the horrific events that took place at the Beacon Mental Hospital, and reluctantly pulled back into Mobius’ macabre world when a gruesome serial killer unleashes a new kind of hell onto KRIMSON CITY.

The Evil Within Issue #1 is written by Ryan O’Sullivan with art by Damien Worm, and Szymon Kudranski.

On September 13, 2017, get ready to sock it to the Nazis with an all-new comics prequel to the hotly anticipated first-person action blockbuster, Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, which continues the adventures of B.J. Blaskowicz as he leads the resistance against the Nazis in occupied America.

In Titan’s new comic series, written by Dan Watters with art by Piotr Kowalski and Ronilson Freire, dive headfirst into the alternate universe of Wolfenstein as B.J. Blaskowicz returns to take on the Nazis. Can he stop the march of goose-stepping boots? Or will the sinister Hans Hartmann be victorious?

Titan Comics will also publish brand-new Dishonored comics, to tie-in with the upcoming DLC (downloadable content) of the smash-hit first person stealth-‘em-up Dishonored 2 videogame!

Written by by Michael Moreci and illustrated by Andrea Olimpieri and Mattia Iacono, Dishonored: The Peeress and the Price, Titan Comics’ new series, sees Emily Kaldwin return to Dunwall for an adventure with Corvo Attano. Emily comes into conflict with a politician named Archibald Dufrane, and there is a mysterious killer on the loose – but when Emily’s powers start to falter in the middle of their investigation, things start to get deadly…

The Evil Within #1 (on-sale September 6, 2017), Wolfenstein #1 (on-sale September 13, 2017) and Dishonored: the Peeress and the Price #1 (on-sale September 27, 2017) are available to order from the upcoming July edition of PREVIEWS.

Review: Warhammer 40k: Dawn Of War III #1

Posted on by

Based on the new video game, Warhammer 40k: Dawn Of War III #1 takes readers into the world of Game Workshop’s Warhammer 40k where “grimm dark” is a common descriptor. It’s been about 22 years of me playing and following the 40k universe, including playing the video games this comic ties into, so as a fan already of the world, I come in a bit biased.

Written by Ryan O’Sullivan, the first issue sets up the series with the Blood Raven’s having to head planet side to retreive their brothers and setting them up on a course to clash with Eldar and Orks. It’s a pretty standard story for the 40k universe, but O’Sullivan does a very interesting thing in that the issue feels like it’s a mission straight out of the video game.

This first issue features the encounters and battles and to some extent feels like a cut scene, but thankfully I don’t have to spend time building up my base. There’s also a solid focus on the “band of brothers” aspect of the universe as well with solid interactions between the Marines and that extends to their mission.

The art by Daniel Indro and Kevin Enhart is solid and continues the pretty standard style we’ve seen in the various Warhammer 40k comics. I don’t want to quite call it a “house style,” but the comics I’ve read all flow together in their look, which is smart for a brand where consistent style is a selling point and something I’d expect.

As a fan of 40k, of course I love the comic and can’t wait for the next issue. But, for those who don’t know the world, this probably isn’t the best place to start to dive in. O’Sullivan does do an excellent job of translating the video game version of the tabletop game into comics and the art delivers the brutal action you’d expect. As an adaptation, the team knocks it out of the park.
