03/11/2011 - Bethesda and Dark Horse Comics Announce RAGE Comic Book SeriesBETHESDA SOFTWORKS AND
DARK HORSE COMICS ANNOUNCE RAGETM COMIC BOOK SERIES Three-Issue Series Based on id Software’s
Highly-Anticipated RAGE Video Game to be Available Starting June 22, 2011 March 11th, 2011 (London, UK) – Bethesda
Softworks®, a ZeniMax® Media company, and Dark Horse Comics today announced a three-issue comic book series based
on id® Software’s upcoming RAGE® video game. This original miniseries is being written
by Arvid Nelsion, the acclaimed creator of Rex Mundi, and penciled by Andrea Mutti (DMZ). The cover art
is being created by Glenn Fabry, best known for his work on Hellblazer and Preacher. Set prior to the events
in the game, the comics are an extension of the RAGE universe and will provide numerous insights
into the game’s storyline. The first of the three comics will be available in North America and the UK on June 22, 2011.
This comic series, developed with the direct participation of RAGE’s creative director,
Tim Willits, presents a new twist on the post-apocalyptic near future as one woman discovers that the survival of humankind
doesn’t necessarily mean the survival of humanity. The Earth has been devastated by a collision with an asteroid,
with a tiny fraction of the population surviving in life-sustaining Arks buried deep below its surface. Those who survive
emerge to find a wasteland controlled by a global military dictatorship called the Authority. But a rescued scientist learns
that the Authority has lied to her and the other survivors about how this new world came to be.
RAGE
is the latest game from id Software, the acclaimed designers of the Wolfenstein®, DOOM®, and QUAKE®
series. RAGE features intense first-person shooter action, breakneck vehicle combat, an expansive
world to explore and jaw-dropping graphics powered by id’s revolutionary id Tech® 5 technology. Set in the not-too-distant
future, you emerge to discover humanity working to rebuild itself against forces such as bandit gangs, mutants, and more.
Eagerly awaited by the gaming community, RAGE is already being touted as one of the industry’s
most innovative first-person shooters, winning numerous awards at E3 2010, including ‘Best Overall Game of Show’
from IGN and three ‘Best of E3’ Game Critics Awards including ‘Best Console Game’. RAGE
is slated for release in North America on September 13th and throughout Europe on September 16th and
will be available for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment
system, and Games for Windows.
