Dark Horse Comics have announced a third StarCraft comic series written by Jody Houser, “StarCraft: Survivors.” Here’s the press release:
Jody Houser Returns to StarCraft in an All-New Series
Writer extraordinaire Jody Houser (StarCraft: Scavengers, Stranger Things), artist Gabriel Guzmán (StarCraft: Scavengers, Predators), colorist Michael Atiyeh (StarCraft: Scavengers, Dragon Age), and letterer Steve Dutro (I Am a Hero Omnibus, StarCraft: Scavengers) team up to continue the tale started in StarCraft: Scavengers. Based on an original story by Jody Houser and Blizzard Entertainment’s StarCraft game team, StarCraft: Survivors reveals exciting new territory in the StarCraft universe!
After surviving a murderous dark templar’s rampage, a terran space engineer named Caleb is forced to carry out the protoss’s bidding: he must infiltrate a munitions factory in the Umojan Protectorate and find a mysterious source of power.
StarCraft: Survivors #1 (of four) goes on sale July 24, 2019 and is available for pre-order at your local comic shop.
Praise for StarCraft: Scavengers:
“This is the perfect tie-in comic for a video game—something that doesn’t try to re-create the experience of the video game, but instead uses an existing world as a backdrop for an interesting story.”–Comicbook.com
“This is a StarCraft tale that is just as accessible for newcomers to the setting as it is for diehard fans.”–Impulse Gamer
Dark Horse have also announced “Disney Storied Places,” a 152-page hardcover anthology of comics based on various Disney and Pixar films like Peter Pan, The Lion King, Zootopia and UP, from creators including Rhona Cleary, Tea Orsi, and Valeria Orlando. It will be released in comic book stores on September 4, and regular bookstores on September 17.
