Whatever you think of Electronic Arts, they had a knack for producing awesome comics to promote their games. Or, well, used to, anyway. The Dead Space animated comic is probably the best promotional material I have ever seen in this regard. It’s superbly produced, with excellent voice acting and a gritty graphic‑novel style that fits the theme—complete with buckets of blood and gore.
The Dead Space animated comic tells the story of Aegis VII, where humanity dug up the dreaded Red Marker—which later sealed the fate of the planet-cracker ship USG Ishimura, where the first Dead Space game takes place. In other words: it’s a spectacular prequel for those of us who want more juicy Dead Space lore. Watch the film below, but make sure to skip the first 2:23 minutes, because it’s just a weird summarization that spoils the story. I have marked the time-jump. Enjoy!
Another thing that makes this comic stand out is how it supplements the great game Dead Space: Extraction, which covers the same outbreak but from a different perspective. So if you want the complete lore experience, watching this animated comic and playing Extraction will give so much context, it will be coming out of your ears!
