Fans of Dark Souls and comics can rejoice because Dark Souls is once again getting the periodical treatment! In conjunction with the worldwide Dark Souls 3 release in April, the comic will be brought to Souls enthusiasts by Titan Comics on April 6th. George Mann of “Doctor Who: The 8th Doctor” will be at the writing helm with Alan Quah of “Godzilla: Awakening” handling the art.

Simply titled “Dark Souls”, the first (and possibly only) issue will feature 5 different covers which are as follows:

• 2 Game Covers
• 1 Blank Sketch Cover
• 2 Variants from artists Joshua Cassara and Marco Turini

Mann had this to say about the new comic:

I’m ‘dead’ excited to be working on this new series (see what I did, there). Dark Souls has a rich, original universe that’s just begging to be explored in comics, and I’m honoured to have the opportunity to delve in and tell some new stories within it. I’ve been a fan of the games for some time, so it’s a real thrill to be able to contribute to the mythology of the Hollows and their world.

To get a better idea of the art direction take a look at 4 of the cover variations:

Folks will remember Dark Souls 2 also featured a comic release  that was a part of several of our giveaways during pre-release hype events. There is no word yet what the story details will be or if there will be more than 1 issue but we will update as more info comes.

The brutality of Dark Souls 3 is imminent, and players are being honed in preparation. Will you be picking up a copy or 5 of the comic when it comes out on April 6th? Be sure to have your friendly local comic shop set them aside for your monthly pull list!
