Resident Evil, Devil May Cry Coming to Comic Books
Having established itself on the big-screen, Capcom is now looking to dominate comic books worldwide. Hence, they today announced their partnership with DC Comics to create a comic book series based on the publisher’s popular gaming properties Resident Evil and Devil May Cry.
“Capcom is thrilled to be partnering with DC,” said Germaine Gioia, senior VP of licensing for Capcom Entertainment, Inc. “Comics are a critical component in Capcom’s merchandising strategy for our most cherished franchises, as they target the same discerning, loyal fans that care most about these established brands. DC’s undisputed development and distribution strength within the comic industry make them an ideal partner to further expand two of our most successful and sophisticated gaming properties.”
Details on the new series, including creative team and launch month, will be announced at a later date. Both titles will be published under DC Comics’ WildStorm imprint.
