EA and DC Comics/WildStorm have partnered up to bring us a comic book mini-series based on Dante's Inferno, the videogame. The comic will be premiered this week at San Diego Comic-Con and Con-goers can get their hands on a special "issue 0" preview of the comic from either EA's booth or DC Comic's booth. The comic is written by Christos Gage and illustrated by Diego Latorre and the six-issue comic mini-series will go on sale this December.
The world premiere trailer for the Dante's Inferno animated movie will also be shown off at Comic-Con this week. The film is being worked on by Starz Media and will be released in 2010, the same day that Dante's Inferno, the game, is released.
