Op 7 mei is het wereldwijd Free Comic Book Day, alleen doen zo ver ik weet hier amper tot geen Nederlandse comic shops aan mee. Maar lucky bastards in Amerika kunnen dus wel bij hun locale stiptoko een gratis comic ophalen. Eén daar van is een speciale editie van The Darkness 2, een voorbereiding op de aankomende videogame. Any way hier is het persbericht.

2K Games, Top Cow Productions, Inc., and the Free Comic Book Day Committee announced that they have teamed up to produce The Darkness II: Confession, an exclusive comic tie-in for The Darkness II video game, for Free Comic Book Day. The 32-page, full-color comic will be a prequel to 2K Games' upcoming video game, The Darkness II. Produced by Top Cow's lead artists and writers in partnership with 2K Games, The Darkness II: Confession will be distributed by Diamond Comic Distributors to thousands of independent comic book stores worldwide on May 7, 2011.

"Top Cow has always supported Free Comic Book Day and this year we've created our best offering yet with The Darkness II: Confession, a prequel to the upcoming video game The Darkness II by 2K Games," said self-proclaimed hardcore gamer and president of Top Cow, Matt Hawkins. "In working closely with 2K Games on the comic, we've ensured that everything fits into The Darkness' canon for long-time and new fans of Jackie Estacado. This free comic is a perfect primer for the game."
