Radical and Dark Horse announce Prototype 2 comic series

By Stephany Nunneley

Radical Entertainment and Dark Horse comics have announced a digital comic series set in the Prototype universe.

The series, which is to be released in three parts, will bridge the gap between the conclusion of the original game starring Alex Mercer, and the upcoming sequel, Prototype 2, starring James Heller.

The first entry, “The Anchor,” illustrated by Paco Díaz, continues the story of Mercer, while the second story, “The Survivors,” illustrated by Chris Staggs, follows a group of New York residents trying to escape the city and the Blacklight virus. The third and final story, illustrated by Victor Drujiniu, is “The Labyrinth”, which provides a deeper look into the backstory of Heller.

Each entry will be released on a weekly basis starting February 15.

Prototype 2 release on PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 April 24.
