DC Comics to publish Gears of War series

Does this mean that we'll see MK v. GoW? After all, they're part of the DC universe now, right? Fenix - fatality!

Marcus Fenix in Mortal Kombat vs. DC, confirmed?

Why does the topmost locust have a tentacle-stache? Tentacle-stached monks confirmed for GoW2...

I want to lop Marcus's head off with the Batarang

So this also isn't going to have a plot, right?

So I'd like to read this for the riveting story the game presented us with.

Why do people hate on the story so much? Calm the fuck down. Its NOT an RPG, its supposed to be a blockbuster movie type game and it did that very well as the 5 Million people that bought it will agree. Here take a gander and STFU already! =)


Gears of War takes place on Sera, a planet inhabited by humans, who have warred over a phosphorescent, low-viscosity fluid known as "Imulsion" highly valued as a source of energy. Over several decades, the Pendulum Wars took place between various human countries, and ended with the Coalition of Ordered Governments (COG) taking control of the planet. The war quickly came to an end on "Emergence Day", when a ravenous force known as the Locust Horde bursts from underneath major human cities using a network of underground tunnels.

The Coalition, unable to defend against the sudden attack, is routed, and the Locust Horde takes control of the majority of Sera's urban, military, and manufacturing centers within 24 hours. The COG orders any survivors to Jacinto Plateau, a safe haven from Locust underground attacks due to the composition of the rock it is made of, and then uses orbital laser weapons in a scorched earth strategy to deny the Locust Horde its gains. The human survivors that could not make it become known as the "Stranded" and have to survive on their own. In the 14 years since "Emergence Day", the Locust continue to attack the fortified Jacinto Plateau and force the COG to turn to the infirm, the young, and the condemned to replace their dwindling numbers.

fourteen years after Emergence Day. Marcus Fenix, a former COG soldier, is reinstated into the military after spending four years in prison. Dominic Santiago successfully extracts him from the prison, and takes him to meet Delta Squad. The group seeks to obtain the "resonator", a device that will map the Locust Tunnel, and later deploy the "Lightmass Bomb", which will destroy the heart of the Locust forces. Fenix and his allies recover the device, but suffer multiple casualties in the process. Amidst the chaos, Fenix leads the remaining soldiers through the ruins of Sera, to a mining facility, and finally into the planet’s depths.

Delta Squad succeeds in detonating the resonator, but only to shortly discover that the device failed to map the entire tunnel network. Fortunately, they discover a near complete map of the network that originates from Fenix’s old home, specifically his father’s laboratory. The group ventures to the Fenix estate at East Barricade Academy, encountering heavy Locust resistance. The data is collected, and the group then boards a train carrying the Lightmass Bomb. Fenix and Santiago battle their way through the train, and defeat General RAAM, before finally uploading the data. Fenix activates the bomb while Santiago escapes onto a helicopter and then, with the help of Colonel Hoffman, pulls Fenix onboard after the Bomb is activated. Fully activated, the Lightmass Bomb launches into Sera's underground, and eradicates the Locust tunnel networks. In the game's final sequence, Hoffman delivers a victory speech as the tunnels collapse and explode, whereupon the voice of the Locust Queen promises that the Locust will keep on fighting.

so its a picture book with no words/story? I dont know if i can peel my eyes off of COD4 to take a gander..

That looks Badass... Enough Said...

jesus. you'd think they'd get a better artist to promote this. That looks like someone drew it with their nutsack.

Wait wait, so now there's a movie based on the game, and a comic based on the game, all we need now is a movie based on the comic based on the game, or even better, a game based on the movie based on the comic based on the game. Yee haw, full circle, baby!

This is exciting! Look forward to checking them out!

So Rob Liefelds going to be penciling this huh? He would be a pefect match for Epic's horrific character designs.

Rob Liefeld and Epic where made for each other.. Look at this,

aparently Marcus Fenix and Captain America where twins seperated at birth..

Who asked for this? Anyone?

All I'll say (everyone else has covered the rest it seems) is that cover does look pretty cool.

Marvel did this with Halo and it wasn't that bad except for the fact that it barely has anything to do with the game since there are civilians and stuff.

Why not.Looking foward to Santiago Dominguez Mountain Dew.
