Just Hit Play
It's not Comic-Con or Wizard World, but that doesn't mean there won't be a comics presence at E3, the huge videogame trade show starting Wednesday in Los Angeles.
Among the comics making the transition to games is Acclaim's "100 Bullets," based on Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso's Vertigo comic of the same name, coming to Xbox and PS2 this fall. The game's new website reports that Azzarello wrote the story for the game and Risso was the art director, so it should be fun. Acclaim also has a fall game for both consoles based on "The Red Star," Christian Gossett's take on an alternate Russia, and a PC version of "Turok: Evolution." Turok was first a Gold Key comic decades ago before being revived by Valiant Comics in the early 1990s. Valiant was later acquired by Acclaim, which continued publishing comics for a few years before the market got too tough.
Activision has plenty of Marvel licenses, including "Fantastic Four" set for winter release; "X-Men Legends," "Iron Man," "Spider-Man 2" and "Infinity War," which is likely based on the cosmic crossover hit of the 1990s.
Eurocomics aren't to be left out, with Atari working on "Asterix and Obelisk XXL" for PS2.
EA takes on the DC universe with upcoming games based on "Superman" and "Catwoman." Midway, however, takes on "Justice League." Sega brings in manga favorite Astro Boy: Omega Factor," and Vivendi Universal plans "Hulk 2" and "Aliens vs. Predator," a matchup that first clashed in the pages of a Dark Horse comics.
