Jim Lee To Draw Covers For Gears of War Comics

Not doing much for me. Then again I was never a video game comics fan to begin with....or a comics fan for that matter.

Meh. I really don't care about the story in Gears of War so I can't see any reason to read a Gears comic.

whats next?? a GoW movie?

Oh ye I cant wait to see what Marcus did before he got drafted into the army, I love his deep, rich character...............

Gears dialogue:

Marcus:  These fucking aliens are fucked!
Dom:  Fucking right!
Cole: Fuck yeah!
Baird: I'm funny!

I read two of the Gears comics and I didn't really like them.  I felt like I was reading an ad saying "DUDE YEAH GEARS" the whole time.

The inker is not doing Jim's pencils any favours.

9/10 its just a crappy cash in when they do it, but mathematically something good has to come of it at least once.

Hush, NONSENSE?!?!

You are dead to me, David Snider.

@Oni

Hush *was* nonsense, just like most/all of Jeph Loeb's work.

Jim Lee on Gears of War... eh, that's sorta disappointing if you think about it. I mean, Gears of War is just about a bunch of big burly men in bulky armor, and while Lee is certainly capable of drawing that really well... he's usually best at drawing amazingly gorgeous women. In very revealing attire. Just don't think GoW has much of that. GoW doesn't have much of a story either, but uh, c'est la vie.

Updated the story with the cover in question. Thanks to G-Man over at CV.

If done right a comic book can flesh out the story of universe by leaps and bounds. The most recent one that comes to memory is the dead space books. Those were great in every aspect. Epic created a universe with a lot of potential but have wasted most of that potential by focusing all the effort on mindless killing gameplay which is NOT bad but the games could have been so much richer in story content. Hopefully the comics will portray the universe as it deserves to be portrayed.

AW, COME ON!!!

Crayon Time muthfukas draw that SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT

Jim Lee is Asian?

I demand a cover depicting a chainsaw duel.

I think they can because Video Games have a certain level of ridiculousness similar to what comics have.

Gears of War is the first game-crossover i've read and I really like it because it has the same style as the game.

Wait, there's a Gears of War comic?

I'm not much into comics, but I do enjoy them from time to time...
I'm not a serious collector or a regular reader or anything, though...

I definitely think I've seen Jim Lee's art style in a few other comics. That stuff is pretty fuckin' awesome, so I'm glad he's on board.

Overall, I think video game to comic crossovers can work if they're done right.  and from what I've read of the Gears of War comics (The one that came as a pre-order bonus with Gears 2) I think they're definitely doing it right.

I can't imagine the awesome dialogue these will have. "I'm taking fire!" Shit!, I'm down! Revive Me! " all throughout every page.

Jim Lee is legend!

If this is as good as the Dead Space comic was, it should be worth checking out.  I mean, even if you never played Dead Space, the story still stood on its own.  I certainly enjoyed it more than the direct-to-video cartoon (no offense to those who liked the latter).   Many of the Warhammer comics were entertaining as well.

Jim Lee draws the best capes.

Congratulations for all the "HURH GEARS IS BULLSHARK TESTOSTERONE SOAKED SO WHY BOTHER" posts guys. Seriously, that's a new standpoint on the series.

It's a good hard sci-fi universe that deserves fleshing out. Sure, it's presented in that Epic way, but as long as you're secure in your sexuality, I think you can get past it.

I don't know what happened to all my Wildstorms CCG cards. I left them in my closet when I moved out of my dads house and when I came back there was nothing in there but clothes.

cha-ching!
