Prototype Comics on the Way

As a joint announcement between Radical Entertainment and Dark Horse Comics, it has been revealed that the world of the hit video game franchise Prototype is on its way to comics.

The new Prototype digital comic book series will bridge the gap between the original game and its upcoming sequel, which is scheduled for release on April 24. The comics will be available exclusively from digital.darkhorse.com and the Dark Horse Comics app every other week beginning February 15.

"We're always looking for meaningful ways to expand the Prototype universe, and Dark Horse Comics is an industry-leading creative powerhouse delivering best-in-class graphic storytelling that integrates deeply to the core of our IP," said Ken Rosman, Studio Head, Radical Entertainment. "With this partnership, our fans will finally be given answers to some dramatic loose ends from the first PROTOTYPE game, as well as the truth behind Alex Mercer's descent and evolution into a twisted shadow of his former self for Prototype 2."

"Sgt. James Heller's heart wrenching backstory meshed with the sheer amount of over-the-top shape-shifting action in Prototype 2 lend themselves perfectly to a comic book series," said Dave Marshall, Editor, Dark Horse Comics. "We worked extremely close with Radical Entertainment's story team for Prototype 2, and can't wait to visually walk fans through the many dark secrets strewn throughout the tattered world of New York Zero!"
