The first issue of a brand new comic based on
Free Realms will be released next week, on the 29th of July. The series comes from a collaboration between
WildStorm and SOE, with
J.S. Lewis (best known for his
Grey Griffins series of children's books) writing the story. MMORPG
is also reporting that those who pick up the first issue will be eligible to receive an in-game item, the "Spider Bite Sword". Each comic in the series should continue in this manner, offering a new in-game item for the 12 issues that are planned.
A handful of pages from the first issue can be
previewed right now, along with a short snippet of the plot:
The story begins when a young boy is abducted and dragged into a darkened forest teeming with twisted monsters. It's up to a relic hunter and a pixie to save him, but their mission is cut short when a horde of troll-like creatures captures them! Maybe we're just wusses, but that sounds kind of scary.
