Learn More About Dead Island's Characters In Free Digital Comic
Didn't attend this year's Comic Con in San Diego? Then you probably didn't get to read the exclusive six-page Dead Island comic that Deep Silver and Marvel put together. But you're in luck! Today the two companies were kind enough to release a free digital version of the comic.
The story was written by Marvel Custom Solutions' William Dailey, and features art by Jorge Lucas, Juan Santacruz, Diego Olmos, Carlos, Rodriguez, and Sergio Arino (with Christian Nauck providing the cover). It tells a bit of backstory for each of Dead Island's four main characters, and should serve as a nice teaser for the game's release on September 9. To read it, just check out Marvel's fancy-pants comic viewer. Be sure to come back next Friday for our review of the game.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
