NY Comic Con: Velvet Assassin comic, art by Aeon Flux artist Peter Chung

What better time to announce a graphic novel pre-order item than the opening day of New York Comic Con? 

SouthPeak has revealed that its partnered with Peter Chung, animation artist best known for his work on Aeon Flux and The Animatrix, to design a 15-paged digital Velvet Assassin graphic novel. The comic will be available exclusively at GameStop in limited quantities, and will focus on the early years of Violette Summer, the “sexy but she’d kill you with a knife” British spy.

I heard something about awhile back, but this is the first time I’m seeing it and it looks hot. Velvet Assassin (for Xbox 360 and PC) and the digital graphical novel will be available this April.
