EA and DC Team Up To Deliver Mirror’s Edge Comic Book

Chad takes a crack at designing his own Mirror’s Edge comic book cover

In an effort to explore the background of the world in Mirror’s Edge, one of EA’s impressive looking new titles, the software giant has teamed up with a giant in the world of comics to bring you four of the first five letters of the alphabet. And a comic book.

The first issue will be debuted at the San Diego Comic Con, and will feature an original story written by the game’s author Rhianna Pratchett with artist Matthew Dow Smith. The first of a planned six-part series, Mirror’s edge will help set up the world in which Faith, the game’s main character, lives.

“This partnership with DC Comics sets the stage as readers explore Faith’s world in Mirror’s Edge,” said Owen O’Brien, Senior Producer at DICE, the EA studio producing the game. “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.”

The game will also be on display at the Comic Con, so if you’re fiending for new info on the game, looks like San Diego is the place to be.
