Famed comic book illustrator Jim Lee is set to provide the cover artwork for Gears of War #9, which will be out in July and is said to bring an all-new Gears character into the equation.
If I were the gambling type, I'd probably bet money on this new character being killed off, because when you have a story about constant war, one of the good guys is bound to die eventually. Or else their loved ones, which only further fuels their willingness to fight and prolongs the conflict. These stories are deep, guys.
In case you were wondering, Jim Lee has totally played Gears of War. In fact, he says "it's the most visceral yet elegant game" he's ever played, and is "thrilled to be able to contribute something new to the ever expanding mythos." Dude really loves him some Gears, apparently. Got a problem with that? Good.
Jordan Devore is Destructoid's PC gaming manager and founding ginger editor. He is said to be easy to love but difficult to know. When Samit inquired about his curious bio photo Jordan simply replied:
"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

Because you all know that game is bound to come out someday.
No story? There's as much story as any other action comic which may involve some shooting, some tacked in love interest, and of course, rippling muscles with oversized guns. What more do you want?
Plus, let's not forget, comic writers can, you know, write some stuff.
