Have you read Blade Runner Tokyo Nexus #3 yet? If you visited an arcade in the 1980s, you'll likely recognize an homage to one of my favorite childhood games. The gaming landscape has changed dramatically over the years, but it's still just as fun as visiting an arcade with a pocketful of quarters. Here's something for lovers of science fiction and horror. Check it out (if you dare)!
ANTHONY JOHNSTON AND BEN TEMPLESMITH’S CLASSIC DEAD SPACE VIDEOGAME GRAPHIC NOVEL ADAPTATIONS COMES TO TITAN COMICS
Titan Comics are thrilled to announce that the long out of print, beloved graphic novels based on Electronic Arts’ classic sci-fi horror video game, Dead Space™, is being re-released in March 2025. Set in the Dead Space universe, the graphic novels are illustrated and written by award-winning writer Antony Johnston (Stormbreaker, The Coldest City, adapted as the film Atomic Blonde, Resident Evil) with art from macabre legend, Ben Templesmith (30 Days of Night).
Dead Space is an original horror intellectual property that quickly won over critics worldwide with its stunning visuals, spine-tingling gameplay and horrifying creatures. The award-winning game has been heralded as “…one of the best survival horror experiences ever created,” from GamePro and Game Informer quotes, “No game has ever been this frightening.”
Dead Space, Dead Space: Liberation and Dead Space: Salvage, was originally launched by IDW in 2008 to coincide with the release of the video game, Dead Space 3. Reprinted again by Titan Comics, the trilogy is set to hit shelves again next year with the first volume going on sale March 2025.
“I’m so thrilled to be bringing these nail-biting graphic novels back after so long in the black void,” says Titan Comics Group Editor, Jake Devine. “I remember when I first played the game, sitting alone in the dark, holding my breath as I waited for terrifying monsters to unleash their fury! Fans of the game and newcomers are going to love getting this same terrifying experience once again.”
Here's an introduction to the story:
For old and new fans, journey back into the horrific darkness of space as the mutated dead rise to feast on humanity, while the Church of Unitology plots the extinction of mankind…
When P-SEC Sgt. Abraham Neumann encounters a reanimated corpse, he fights off wave after wave with one goal in mind: Survival. After the discovery of an Alien artifact prompts mysterious incidents to occur, the colony is shaken through psychological and vicious threats that break down their security. With the Church of Unitology slowly moving to awaken the Marker and push humanity to extinction. The onslaught grows as a gruesome undertaking takes place.
