TITAN COMICS TEAMS UP WITH BETHESDA SOFTWORKS TO PUBLISH BRAND-NEW COMICS BASED ON THE BEST-SELLING FRANCHISE, WHICH LEAD DIRECTLY INTO THE UPCOMING NEW GAME QUAKE CHAMPIONS. THE QUAKE CHAMPIONS COMIC IS A DIRECT PREQUEL TO THE NEW GAME AND ESTABLISHES THE CHARACTERS THAT WILL FEATURE IN THE EXPLOSIVE NEW GAME!

A shame, a misfire, a negative kill/death ratio in comic book form. Avoid. Read Full Review
