Deep Silver Teams With Dark Horse For Free Dead Island Digital Comic
Because two weeks is just too long to wait for the upcoming Escape Dead Island, publisher Deep Silver has announced its partnering with Dark Horse Comics to bring you a new digital comic series set in the series’ zombie infested world. What’s more, the first volume is available today for free.
With writing by Anne Toole and Smoke’s Alex de Campi as well as art from Deadpool’s Mike Hawthorne, Dead Island #1 follows two average Joes named Richard and Marco who seize the opportunity to become heroes in the zombie apocalypse. These plucky heroes’ misadventures will play into the larger Dead Island universe. The comic acts as connective tissue between Dead Island 2 and the upcoming Escape Dead Island.

Dark Horse’s Dead Island series spans three volumes at 16 pages a piece. The first volume is available for free through the Dark Horse App, the Nook App, Amazon, and online.
Escape Dead Island launched November 18 on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Dead Island 2 releases next year on Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
