Command & Conquer coming to a 'new medium' in 2010 photo

The classic real-time-strategy series Command & Conquer is apparently coming to a "new medium" next year, according to the hypemongers at Electronic Arts. An image of what looks like London has been given a black-and-white comic book look to promote this mysterious new direction for the series. 

As Command & Conquer 4 settles in for a March 16 release date, EA has told fans on the official site that "Early 2010 will also bring you a new medium never created for the C&C franchise before, until now." Apparently the provided image is a "sneak peak" of what is in store, which would point us toward a possible comic book. But is that just what they want us to think?

What do you think the mysterious new C&C could be?

I think the new medium is t-shirts which will all be of medium size.

C&C porn comic book......tatoo'd on some dude's cock. Also, they had a typo. It should read on the last pannel "Cumming soon". The comic will be called Command and Conquer: Crack and cumshots.




Do I win?

C&C used to be the shit. I remember playing the first game, and thinking "wow".

Now it's just plain shit, and reusing the name is just a boot in the face to Westwood.

Am I the only person who actually liked C&C3? I mean, I grew up with the old C&Cs and StarCraft, and I had tons of fun with them, but at the moment I seem to be the only person intrigued by the direction they decided to go.
...even if I still think C&C Generals is complete and utter shit.

I too think it will be a DS/iPhone version. Its ripe territory for the series, and they'd be seriously stupid not to jump on it.

I doubtful its a new game. The C&C Development team got axed when EA announced its 1,500 layoff's. Its probably going to be a comic. Which I'm deeply interested in.
