Mann had this to say about the new comic:
I’m ‘dead’ excited to be working on this new series (see what I did, there). 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.

Editor at Fextralife. I look for the substantial in gaming and I try to connect video games to the emotions and stories they elicit. I love all things culture and history and have an odd fondness for the planet Jupiter. I think my dogs are pretty awesome too.
^Wish I had finished it lol, I will never have time like that again, darnit. Was a decent run for my first time working with comics. I look forward to seeing what they do with the new one!
One of our own community members took it upon himself to colorize the comic from Dark Souls 2 and received some great recognition from the creators for his color work!
Sounds really intresting and awesome. Hopefully it will be in color, unlike the previous comic. Just really dislike black&white comics.
