Spiders Suffer In New God of War Comic Art

By now, most of you have completed God of War III, and are likely on your second or third playthrough. Since the time for spoilers has long passed, let's talk about the game's ending and the direction Sony may be heading in for the sequel. First off, I did not see the big twist coming. I'm sure it even made M. Night Shyamalan gasp. I mean...No one in the world could have guessed that Kratos was actually a deranged homeless person in Miami and not a great warrior in Olympus. Sony did such a great job of hiding this aspect of the game in the first two installments. With that out of the way, let's talk about the tie-in this game has with ModNation Ra...wait...what's that? The game isn't out yet? I just ruined it for everyone? Oh...

It certainly sucks to be you right now. I would hate having this game ruined for me. But keep that chin up, champ. I haven't spoiled the forthcoming God of War comic yet. A few weeks ago we detailed what to expect in the first issue. Today, the good folks at DC Comics have given us the exclusive reveal of the second issue. The art above – depicting a battle between Kratos and a hairy Chewbacca spider – is from the hand of the amazing Andy Park, and will rightfully be the second issue's cover.

The first issue explores Kratos' childhood. The second issue jumps ahead in time to show Kratos as a Spartan captain. His mission? Kill Poseidon's underwater monsters! This series is written by Marv Wolfman and features interior art by Andrea Sorrentino. This issue will arrive on comic shelves on May 26.

  • I had to stop reading when this story said "Since the time for spoilers has long passed, let's talk about the game's ending"  WTF GI?!?

  • how would we be on our second or third playthrough...and I cant read this article past the "Let's talk about the games ending". I almost made a big mistake reading on. Why does reiner want to spoil this for me?

  • Keep reading there NipRing.....

  • Ah...I have been hoisted by Reiner's petard. That was a close one...

  • Nice Spoiler. :-P

  • Sorry i blew up. But the thought of the ending being ruined was crushing. I dared not read on. The "joke" could have been better handled Reiner. I didnt even get that far. I was stopped in my tracks over the "lets talk about the games ending".

  • Staff

    I successfully trolled you. WIN

  • Good one, Reiner.

  • haah had me fooled i was like since when is gow 3 out and i almst pissed my pants wondering why i didnt have it well played reiner

  • I love you Andrew Reiner.

  • I'll bet you are a hoot to have around the office Reiner.

  • Animal cruelty!

  • Good one Reiner , I was like WTF ?  Did they release it early and I somehow missed it ? Then I thought , no it must be a typo he meant GoW 2 . Lol nicely done .

  • If that was the actual twist I would so buy this as long as some DLC involved you playing as a homeless Kratos in Miami with his chains, begging for money to buy booze and when not getting it ripping off the persons head...now that's a game...

    Shame I don't read comics though just never could justify it will probably wait for the hardcover release of the series...

  • Reiner, you're just hilarious, I thought you should know that haha. This made me laugh quite a bit. Really though, I'm extremely pumped for these comics, I really can't wait for them to release.

  • 0.0 oh great there goes that game for me >_>

    GI had ruined God of War III for us all :(

    lmao

  • Scared me at first, had to google the release date just to make sure it wasn't out yet

  • Ya! Stab that bug Kratos.

  • Still waiting for my heartbeat to slow down...that was too close! lol
