The lights are on
The third issue in the Modern Warfare 2: Ghost comic book series goes on sale February 17. I haven't read the second issue yet, but the synopsis for issue three makes me think I should. According to Wildstorm's website, this issue unfolds as such: "Dane and Maya storm the castle in Sanctuary, but they may be too late to save the queen. They have to fight through hordes of monsters and soldiers, but even when it looks like the day is won, Geoffrey offers a chilling warning of the dark days that lie ahead." Monsters? Did the writer confuse Modern Warfare with World of WarCraft?The synopsis for the fourth issue clears things up a bit. "Now that Ghost is back in the real world, he's finding it hard to tell what's real anymore...until a face from his botched mission in Mexico appears. It's someone he thought long dead. Could this be another hallucination – or something far more sinister? The brutal action continues!"
I know Ghost didn't get much face time in Modern Warfare 2, but I thought he was a cool character. I may regret reading this series, but the chance to flesh him out (in apparently crazy ways) is too much for me to resist.

Oh my cod!
bad pun intended
@ Dead-erSpace: Lol...
I'll wait for word on how good/bad it is before checking it out. Doesn't really sound that appealing yet, but still, if it offers a good Hollywood-style action read, I may look at it.
I don't know dude. The games are pretty well set in a realistic engrossing universe and tell a good story already. I could have choked someone on how mw2 ended after fighting all the way thru on veteran. But having a side character who you already know dies go on acid trip style adventures is a little far fetched to me.
Like I said, I could regret this.
Quote: I know Ghost didn't get much face time... I like the pun for a man in a mask.
Actually, I thought Ghost was only semi-cool. IMHO, His voice blended into all the Scottish accents to the point I couldn't tell Soap from Roach from Ghost from Price. Heck, maybe some of them are the same people? (I didn't totally pay attention to the plot, honestly.)
Anyway, I would also suggest to the MW writers more distinction between the nicknames - Soap, Roach, Ghost - all sound the same in normal conversation. Add in bullets, explosions and whatnot and the already vowel-heavy Scottish accent and I'm lost as to who is talking. :) Course, that could be because I'm just a dumb Yank.
No pun intended there! :) Still a great game tho!
Reiner what's your take on bioshock 2 have it reserved but not sure if the 60.00 couldn't be put to better use?
Ghost is the coolest character in MW2, and not just because the mask lmfao he just rocks because hes the quiet guy. *spoiler* Its a shame he got X'ed because he was the bada$$ of the group in my opinion lol but I agree with the last guy, the guys were definitely accent heavy in campaign mode
impressive... most impressive, but he is not a jedi yet... (pshweeeeww)
This is the stupidest piece of tie in crap ever.
Ugh. Can we PLEASE stop talking about MW2 the continous reports on every little detail of Modern Warfare 2 sickens me.
Talk about something you have no info on, like Brink, or GT5.
@Dead-er Space lol
I really think this is going to be awesome
My review is on the main page.

Waaaa... a primarily console gaming news site is posting news related to the most popular game on consoles... waaaa... click elsewhere ffs.
I get the feeling Dan might burn these comics, ya know..The skull thing.
Modern Warfare 2 comics? I was a little surprised by that, then I heard that he fights monsters and saves a queen. It's really sounding a little outlandsih, especially for Modern Warfare that is. If they make a game on these ideas, they are going to ruin the series reputation.
Modern Warfare 3: The curse of the WereZombie
so issue 3 is his hallucinations while he's buried alive in a coffin in mexico? awesome!
also the second issue was the only one I read, but the quality was pretty good, it follows ghost's experiences being tortured in mexico, after reading this comic, it made me wish they hadn't killed off ghost, considering he's 100% awesome in this series
