Namco Bandai Europe and From Software have decided to work with some of the most exciting comic writers and artists to produce an exclusive comic book for Dark Souls 2.
The graphic novel, titled “Dark Souls 2: Into the Light” takes place in the thrilling universe of the game. The story is written by Rob Williams and Andi Ewington with art provided by Simon Coleby.
Rob Williams is an acclaimed British-based comic book writer whose credits include Ghost Rider, Daken, Amazing Spider-Man, The Dark X-Men, Cla$$war, Star Wars Tales and the 2013 British Comic Award nominated Judge Dredd: Trifecta.
Simon Coleby is a British comic book artist who has worked for Marvel and 2000 AD. His credits include creating art for Judge Dredd, Rogue Trooper and the popular ‘The Authority’ series from DC/Wildstorm. He also worked on the 2013 British Comic Award nominated Judge Dredd: Trifecta.
Andi Ewington is an up-and-coming writer whose breakthrough debut novel ‘45’ won critical acclaim from reviewers and fans alike, and has recently claimed a #1 Amazon UK Kindle Superhero bestseller spot. He was also named in WizardWorld’s ‘5 on the rise’ for 2010.
When asked about their collaboration around “Dark Souls 2: Into the Light”, the authors said that “Gothic environments, unworldly monsters, eldritch atmosphere, adventure and terror” are the best arguments that an artist could wish for! When it comes down to the deep storyline they only whispered “Before you venture into the darkness, pay heed to those who know what awaits within”.
Dark Souls 2: Into the Light will be available early January 2014. The Dark Souls 2 videogame will launch in North America on March 11th and across Europe on March 14th, 2014 on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, with the PC edition to follow shortly.
