Dragon Age comic hits the stands; already on App Store, PSP
The Dragon Age comic is ready to tell its epic tale now at your local illustrated book peddler. The first edition was already released on the App Store and through PSP's comic network on March 16 and 18, respectively. Dragon Age issue #1 sets the stage for mages who will defy the Circle of Magi and battle against the lyrium-addicted Templars. It is co-written by Orson Scott Card and Aaron Johnston. The art is being done by Mark Robinson, with cover art by Humberto Ramos. The first Dragon Age series is 12 issues. The first issue is out now, the next is in June and then it goes monthly. The first trade collection of six issues will release in November and include extra content, however the publisher has no idea at this point what those extras will be composed of.
Dragon Age comic delayed until April [update: It's still on for March]
Update: It seems there's been a mix up somewhere between BioWare and IDW, as a recent tweet from BioWare's account claims that the Dragon Age comic is still scheduled to release in March. It looks like Dragon Age fans hoping to delve further into its fantasy realm will have to wait a little bit longer. IDW Publishing editor-in-chief Chris Rydall tells Big Download that the planned March release of its Dragon Age comic has been pushed to April. Furthermore, the second issue will release in June. The comic was announced last year, and is slated to feature a story written by Orson Scott Card. The plot itself focuses around a band of rogue mages that "will defy the rules of the Templars and change the course of the world forever."
IDW producing Dragon Age and Army of Two comics
Through a joint collaboration with IDW Publishing and EA's new EA Comics brand, comic versions of Dragon Age and Army of Two will find themselves on shelves and available for download on iTunes in monthly runs. The comics will be backed by some pretty heavy hitters; Orson Scott Card will be penning the story for Dragon Age and veteran Peter Milligan will be handling the story for Army of Two, which is due to start its run sometime in January 2010.There's no information on the Dragon Age comic at this time, however we know the events of the Army of Two bromic (see what we did there?) will bridge the gap between the conclusion of the first game and the events of The 40th Day.
