Mirror's Edge Comic Announced

Greetings from Comic Con 2008 here in San Diego. I've just caught word that a limited-edition comic based on DICE and EA's upcoming "running simulator" Mirror's Edge has been announced as part of a collaboration with DC Comics and that lucky Comic Con attendees will be the first to get their hands (and feet) on freshly inked goods.

Here's how EA puts it:

“This partnership with DC Comics sets the stage as readers explore Faith’s world in Mirror’s Edge,” said Owen O’Brien, Senior Producer, DICE. “The unique graphic style offered by the comic book genre is perfect for taking fans through her back-story. Frame by frame, page by page, we’ll learn more about the events that shaped both her and the city.”

Based on the upcoming Mirror’s Edge video game, the comic combines the talents of writer and story designer Rhianna Pratchett with artist Matthew Dow Smith. Pratchett is also responsible for crafting the intricate script for the game. The six-part comic series will introduce readers to Faith and her fellow ‘Runners’ – a network of couriers who use acrobatic moves to avoid being detected as they traffic packages across a network of rooftops and aerial skyways.

Interesting...Now, let's just hope the game doesn't suck.
