The gang at Silconera grabbed a copy of the Comic-Con 2008 teaser issue of WildStorm's Mirror's Edge comic, jumped across a few rooftops, performed a couple leaps of faith, then landed safely at the office to scan it. You have to admit that sounds cooler than "EA was handing it out and they scanned it."
Anyway, the site has indeed posted the comic in its teaser-short entirety. It contains dialog from the game, which was previously confirmed to be the work of Heavenly Sword scriptwriter and Alanis Morisette look-alike, Rhianna Pratchett. After reading it, we're left to wonder if we'll be hearing a lot of female protagonist Faith's inner dialog throughout the course of the game as well. We'll find out in November, which is when both the game and the comic book mini-series based on it perform somersaults and land on shelves.

That would have read better if it were written by Joss Whedon.

Life as written by Joss Whedon:

What does it say about me that I'm more excited that Faith looks believable and isn't a uber-buff butch BadGrrl stereotype? I mean, I love boobies and everything, but it's good to see a female main character be, y'know, somewhat close to real-life.

Besides the ridiculous eye makeup/tattoo she's wearing, you mean. I still don't think the game needs a story. it all sounds too cheesy. A girl running on rooftops is enough reason for a game.

I find myself utterly unexcited for Mirror's Edge.

I don't see her nipples, so I'm guessing no.

Sounds like someone has seen Banlieue (District) 13.

I played through Heavenly Sword... There's a whole heck of a lot of internal dialogue in that game.
Reminds me of the Futurama quote: "Your lyrics lack subtlety! You can't just sing what you're feeling; that makes me angry!"
