Dark Souls' lore is a product of spatial design, vague hints and imagined meaning, so I find it strange that Titan Comics is releasing a comic book series based on the franchise from April 6, less than a week before Dark Souls 3 goes live in the West. Somehow I can't imagine "HEH HEH HEH HEH HEH" having the same impact in print as it does when Oswald of Carim appears suddenly in an abandoned belltower.
"I’m ‘dead’ excited to be working on this new series (see what I did, there)," Mann says. "Dark Souls has a rich, original universe that’s just begging to be explored in comics, and I’m honoured to have the opportunity to delve in and tell some new stories within it. I’ve been a fan of the games for some time, so it’s a real thrill to be able to contribute to the mythology of the Hollows and their world."
My hope for this series is that it embraces Dark Souls' love of saying next to nothing and suggesting only fragments through its environments.
Thanks, IGN.
