To put it rather bluntly: if you own a PS3 and you haven’t bought/played Uncharted, you’re doing something wrong. Uncharted is that rare sort of game that riffs off a premise of another series and completely blows everything out of the water with affable character, intriguing storylines, intense sequences of action and gameplay, and – oh yeah – amazing graphics.
That’s why this early bit of news leaked at the official Playstaion blog is so exciting. DC will be releasing an Uncharted tie-in comic written by Joshua Williamson (the writer of the upcoming Image series Xenoholics and the Damian/Supergirl issue of Superman/Batman) and illustrated by Francesco Francavilla, artist extraordinairre. Assumedly following the same plot as the game (at least, from what we know, anyway) the book will be a mini released just in time for the release of the third game, 11/11/11.
The informational bits go as follows:
UNCHARTED #1 launches Nathan Drake on a journey to the center of the earth on a quest to see the legendary “Amber Room.” As enemies from Sir Francis Drake’s past come for revenge on his descendant, Drake must use all the skills at his disposal to stay one step ahead of the game. UNCHARTED #1 is written by Joshua Williamson (SUPERMAN/BATMAN), with fantastic art by Francesco Francavilla (DETECTIVE COMICS) and featuring covers by the legendary Adam Hughes.
I actually just got done playing the second game in the series this past weekend, and all of the praise the series has received is well deserved. The first game was great, but the second was beyond phenomenal and has left me wanting the third one fairly badly. With Francesco Francavilla illustrating a mini about the game, my hopes are high that this will be as good as the Assassin’s Creed comic from DC (coughWildstormcough) was.
