Darksiders II: Death's Door digital comic now on sale
Darksiders II: Death's Door is now available to purchase exclusively from Dark Horse's digital store. The first issue will set you back $0.99, and can be obtained for both iOS and Android devices. "Death’s mission to slay a rogue demon is just starting out, but first he must acquire a replacement for his scythe, which he is forbidden to use on Earth without permission," reads the spiel. "In an underworld black market he strikes a deal—a leviathan’s tongue for a new weapon!" I may just pick this up. As I discussed on Podtoid, I've been slowly getting into the ol' digital comic lark, and I do like Darksiders. Win/Win. Anybody else interested? Did you know? You can now get daily or weekly email notifications when humans reply to your comments.
Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)My interest in phone comics isn't all that great, but the lore in this game gets me all hot and bothered. It served its purpose of manufacturing hype for the game, as far as I'm concerned. So Death isn't allowed to use his own weapon on Earth but War is allowed to just buy it and use it himself? Plot hole much? You only get Death's scythe by entering a code. You can't really consider that as part of the regular story, and thus a plothole. 7:15 PM on 06.17.2013 New releases: Luigi is in chargeWith E3 behind us, it's time to get back to playing games that are actually out now.
