26th Mar 2008 02:08 PM GMT | Leord | 0 comments
As mentioned a long long time ago (more sketches one and two), Tokyopop's Hellgate: London manga, simply titled Hellgate: London, will bit hitting shelves in just two short weeks on April 8th. We reported on this 11th of October last year:
The script is being written by Arvid Nelson. Comic fans might recognize the name as he's the creator/writer behind Rex Mundi, the popular Dark Horse comic. If you haven't checked it out, you should. Heck, Johnny Depp liked it so much he's not only producing the upcoming movie, he's starring in it. If you can't trust Edward Scissorhands himself, who can you trust? The point is, you can expect a top-notch story when the book is done.
A Korean artist named Jeong Mo Yang is doing the super duper artwork. These rough sketches only hint at his phenomenal skills, so keep an eye on this guy in the future.

This graphic novel is a prequel to the actual game, taking place 18 years before you begin your adventure in Russel Square. Here is the plot synopsis from the publisher Tokyopop's website:
In the year 2020, a demon invasion strikes several cities around the globe...including London, home to college Rugby champ John Fowler and his family. But before the climatic Battle of All Hallow's Eve, John and his sister Lindsey attempted to discover the story behind what seemed to be a series of bizarre portents: an exhumed skeleton, a haunting apparition, and a powerful sword that they find in their attic. Solving the mystery, though, reveals something about their family that changes their lives forever...In the prequel to the hit video game, explore the world of Hellgate just 48 hours before the world becomes a demon-ridden, war-torn hell--and discover just what might have started it all.
Seems really cool over all!
