Aion comic book announced by DC Comics

While comic books based on videogames are nothing new as of late, fans of the upcoming MMO Aion: Tower of Eternity will be happy to know that a comic book version is coming from DC Comics. Entitled “Aiva’s Story”, the book will be limited run and is from renowned artist Neil Googe and writers David Noonan and Ricardo Sanchez. Sadly though the comic looks like it will use a Western-style artwork instead of the Eastern Korean-style of the game. The comic tells the story of Aiva, a young Asmodian warrior who vows vengeance against the Elyos who killed her family during a raid. Aiva trains ceaselessly, hoping to become a Daeva and someday find her nemesis on the battlefields of the Abyss (where only Daevas can go). Her story unfolds in the limited run comic by NCsoft and DC’s Wildstorm Studios.

Unlike any MMO before it, Aion is a uniquely crafted online experience where flight offers much more than just a way to explore the landscape – it is a strategic and integral part of combat, quests, and exploration. Players will dive into battle and plunge through thousands of unique, story-driven quests, all while trying to save a world literally shattered in half from centuries of brutal conflict. Using one of the most flexible and in-depth character customization systems ever featured in an MMO, players will be able to create genuinely distinct characters and explore a visually stunning world of ethereal beauty brimming with otherworldly inhabitants, mysterious enemies, and ancient secrets.
