Prototype comic coming from DC this August

by Justin McElroy { Apr 16th 2008 at 11:00AM }

Whether its capturing New York in a room to promote it or breaking out the wallet for a Barry Pepper-caliber talent, it's clear that Sierra is counting on Prototype being a hit. Now, the company has found a new avenue for the game's story of "a genetically mutated shape-shifter with no memory of his past hell-bent on solving the mystery of his existence," with a Prototype comic series coming from DC in August on the Wildstorm imprint.

Since the game itself isn't due until fall, we're hoping that it will offer some early insight into the game's plot. We're also hoping it comes out the same weeks as Buffy: Season Eight, or we may just forget to pick it up entirely.

At this point, there are more FPS video game heroes with amnesia than those that actually have a past.

True, Marvel waaaaaaay better. The only exception is indeed, Batman. He's the best.

Batman is the only reason why I liked anything DC... Cause everyone else sucks...For crying out loud, who really fights crime with an S curl (Superman)...Oh yeah by the way Batman can beat-up Superman...

Hell's yeah. Plus most DC heroes were lame imo. Sorry if there are any DC fans here, but that's just my opinion.

In a strange twist, I heard that two people can actually read the same comic at the same time! I hope they don't strip that feature out before its released.

Don't EVER use DC in a title again! I thought we had a new prototype of Dreamcast on the first look without reading :P

Yeah, nobody knows it originally meant "Detective Comics". =(

He needs a comic theme song now! Here we go (to the tune of the classic Spider-man)

"Prototype, Prototype
Can he live up to all his hype?
Is he bad?
Is he good?
All we know is he wears a hood.
Look out! Here comes the Prototype!"

Mmm. May need a little work.
