Jim Lee doing cover art for upcoming issue of Gears comic photo

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.

A comic book artist doing artwork on a comic based on a video game? What a crazy world. But a good one nonetheless. Seeing the man's interest in the game series makes me wonder if anything from it will influence Cliffy B. when Gears of War 3 comes out.

Because you all know that game is bound to come out someday.

Anything with Jim Lee is worth checking out. Love his artwork. I grew up with his X-Men in the early 90s. I fell in love with the series then... which is why I hate the movies and where the comic is today :-/

Motorobo = pedant.

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.
