The hugely successful
Assassins' Creed franchise has been a huge hit on game consoles, with its mix of stealth, strategy and visceral combat. Part of what work in the series has been the ability to place its fiction in a myriad of historical time period. The first game had players controlling Altair in medieval Jerusalem and last year's
Assassins' Creed II gave us Ezio in the Italian Renaissance. Now the next time period appears to be revealed in the form of a teaser trailer that publisher Ubisoft released today.
aNow it seems the latest
Assassins tale will unfold in analog form as the French publisher's annaounced that they're bringing the time-hopping Assassins Creed DNA to comic books. Ubi's has enlisted some top-shelf artistic talent to bring it to life, too, in the form of Cameron Stewart and Karl Kerschl. Stewart's probably best k! nown for his work with genius writer Grant Morrison, including the trippy
Seaguy comics from DC/Vertigo and a recent stint on
Batman & Robin. Stewart also writes and draws the award-winning webcomic
Sin Titulo webcomic, so it's a safe bet that he'll be handling the plot.
Kerschl did a run on Superman a while back and did a fantastic job on the
Teen Titans: Year One miniseries a few years back.
