Report: Dark Souls Is Getting A Comic
It looks like the infamously masochistic game series Dark Souls is getting the comic book treatment. IGN is reporting that Titan Comics will start publishing the series in April, though it's not clear if it will be an ongoing or limited series.
Titan Comics is known for publishing comics based on popular franchises like Doctor Who, Assassin's Creed, and Kung Fu Panda. The comic will be written by George Mann, responsible for writing some of Titan's Doctor Who comics, and it will be illustrated by Alan Quah. Quah has worked on comic adaptations of Orphan Black and The Vampire Diaries.
The comic will feature new stories set in the Souls universe and not serve as an adaptation of any of the games. You can check out some of the covers the first issue will have over at IGN.

Our Take
A Dark Souls comic could definitely work with the right talent behind it. What's next? Dark Souls movie? Dark Souls happy meals?
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.

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.
