|
DENVER, Aug. 4 / -- Last weekend at San Diego's Comic-Con International, next generation developer MAXUM Games announced their newest Xbox 360 title, "Demons of Mercy" and premiered a new comic series based on the game by rising author R.H. Stavis. The comic story which is being produced in collaboration with and distributed by Marvel Comics was unveiled at the convention with an exclusive first issue printing.
"We are really excited about how we are enhancing the game by including exclusive hints and secret features within the comic series. We were also very lucky to find R.H. Stavis," said James Jacoby, game producer for MAXUM. "Her background with Tomb Raider, and her ability to create fantastic characters and daring storylines, made for the perfect match."
The comic and game center around a gorgeous assassin named Mercy Dawn. An orphan adopted by the mob and trained by the Yakuza, Mercy has returned to the United States seeking revenge. Instead, she finds herself caught in a vicious war between Heaven and Hell, and only she holds the key to humanity's salvation. "It's a wonderful challenge to be telling this story in two different ways: the concise, linear comic; and the broad, non-linear game. Fans will get the opportunity to see the same story in completely different mediums, with new information each time," says Stavis as she signs for fans at the con.
