EA is teaming up with comic book publisher IDW to publish comics based on Army of Two and Dragon Age. The monthly comics will begin in January.

“We’ve seen an increasing number of video game tie-ins with comics over the last few years. This marks another step in our strategy for extending EA’s wholly-owned game properties to new media. It is exhilarating to be working with the comic book creators directly,” said Mike Quigley, Group Vice President, Global Marketing, EA Games Label.

Peter Milligan from X-Men, Batman, and Hellblazer will be writing Army of Two. Chester Ocampo is the cover artist with Dexter Soy as the interior artist/penciler.

“The first story arc, “Across the Border,” follows ex-Army Rangers Salem and Rios as they form their own Private Military Corporation: Trans World Operations.”

Award winning writer, Orson Scott Card will be handling Dragon Age: Origins comic book series. That should be very interesting!

“This is a great opportunity for IDW to work with a worldwide leader in video games,” said Greg Goldstein, chief operating officer for IDW. “We look forward to bringing a tremendous amount of great content into the comics market.”
