DC Comics recently announced that they will be creating comics based on the Resident Evil and Devil May Cry franchises. The Capcom properties will be published by DC Comics' WildStorm imprint. More details about the Resident Evil and Devil May Cry comics, such as availability and creative team, will be announced at a later date.
"Capcom is thrilled to be partnering with DC," said Germaine Gioia, Senior Vice President of Licensing for Capcom Entertainment. "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."
"We're ecstatic that Resident Evil is returning to WildStorm, where we have already established deep roots into the mythos of this world," said Hank Kanalz, Vice President/General Manager for WildStorm. "We can't wait to continue, and bring a freshness and excitement to the property to match the amazing things they are doing with the game."
"Dante, Nero and the world of Devil May Cry is a perfect fit for the sensibilities of our studio," added Kanalz. "We have such terrific inspiration from the anime and games and we intend on meeting the exceptionally high standard of quality that has been set for this."
