NIER Backstory To Be Revealed In Comic Series
Square Enix has partnered with DC Comics' Wildstorm imprint to create a custom three-part comic series that will explore the backstory of the upcoming action-RPG NIER.
"We are extremely excited to partner with the storytellers at DC Comics to further explore the complex tale of NIER; to explore its unusual characters; and, to introduce new fans to a storyline that will challenge what they know from beginning to end," said John Yamamoto, president and chief executive officer of Square Enix, Inc. "NIER is a game that paints a sophisticated and graphic picture of the despair resulting from an apocalyptic plague and the triumph of a father's will to protect his most prized possession, his daughter. DC Comics' ability to create colorful and engaging comics will help deliver NIER's unusual story to gamers and prepare them for what lies ahead in the game. By exploring the comics, gamers will understand the basis of Nier's world before they even pick up a sword or cast a spell."
The comics will be available at the game's official website, on Xbox LIVE Arcade and the PlayStation Store between now and the game's release on April 27. The comics will reveal clues about key players from the game and address issues that set up the apocalyptic world of the game. The NIER comics are being produced by Emmy-winning creator Ricardo Sanchez and artists Pop Mhan, Eddie Nuñez, and Carlos D'Anda.
