The all-new digital comic series will be broken into three original stories that bridge the gap between the original blockbuster game and the sequel.
The first entry, The Anchor, illustrated by Paco Díaz, continues the story of Alex Mercer, the protagonist from the first game, while the second story, “The Survivors,” illustrated by Chris Staggs, follows a small group of residents of New York trying to escape the city after it has been transformed into NYZ with the outbreak of the Blacklight virus. The third and final story, illustrated by Victor Drujiniu, is “The Labyrinth” and provides fans a deeper look into the backstory of Prototype 2s new protagonist, Sgt. James Heller. Each comic in the series will be available at Digital.Darkhorse.com every other week beginning February 15.
Prototype 2 is currently in development for Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system and Windows PC. The game is currently rated RP (Rating Pending) by the ESRB, with an expected M (Mature Content that may be suitable for persons 17 and older) rating.
