Here are full details so far. I've added to first post/first page.

A series of six comics, written by ROBBIE MORRISON; Art by TREVOR HAIRSINE; Cover by JIM MURRAY.




DEUS EX #1 (OF 6) (Comic - On Sale February 09, 2011)


The legendary video game franchise, which PC Gamer called "The Best PC Game of All Time," comes to comics in advance of the highly anticipated new installment in the series!

Adam Jensen is a cybernetically enhanced security operative for the powerful Sarif Industries in a future where biological enhancements have become commonplace, yet fanatically opposed by many. While recovering the kidnapped niece of the founder of Sarif Industries, Jensen unstitches a mystery that goes all the way back to his fully human SWAT origins in Detroit – and an adventure of violence and betrayal that will span the globe!



DEUS EX #2 (OF 6) (Comic - On Sale March 16, 2011)



The legendary franchise comes to comics in advance of the highly-anticipated new game! Haunted by the ghosts of his past, Adam Jensen purses an augmented terrorist group and learns that, even in a world of superhuman enhancements, the female is still the deadliest of the species…



DEUS EX #3 (OF 6) (Comic - On Sale April 20, 2011)



A ghost from Adam Jensen's past rears his ugly, augmented head and it's open warfare! Even with a new ally, Adam has his hands full . . . but what's the connection between Adam's past and his current assignment?

Adam has a really unfortunate habit of being thrown at solid objects.

The whole group of covers are great. I'm digging the animated, energetic hand gestures and poses. I'll get a chance to look around for it tomorrow, but I doubt I'll be able to find a copy near where I live.

I don't really mind Deus Ex becoming 'big' as in Halo big. It's a great game, with a great plot and great characters. Why is everyone so down on the idea of Deus Ex living up to its potential? I mean who doesn't want the population of Deus Ex fans to increase?

Who knows maybe some of them will even be GIRLS!

Same problem for me. But this morning I took a look on eBayUK and found salvation! Take a look if you don't get any luck locally.

In the meantime, I've asked Kyle if the comics will be available via EM store. Will update asap.

I wonder if any of the covers will be made available as posters. If so, I want this one.

I have a feeling that image is going to go far beyond DX fans, it's going to be reblogged until it's a legend... his face perfectly captures the struggle between man and woman...

Has anyone read the comic yet?

Read it a couple of hours ago, liked it alot.. Feels smart and interesting.. Alot of thinking, poetry and argumentation about right or wrong concerning augmentations. Anyone who isn't fond of spoilers shouldn't read it though, it actually contains a few of them..

As is copying reviews from magazines. A page or two for promotion wouldn't hurt.

Is it possible to buy for european citizens with paypal by the way?

I have the digital version myself since it was nowhere to be found here in sweden :P

But as far as can see it's only possible with visa or mastercard, i bought it with my mastercard and it worked fine.

But i'll give you a page, surfing to imageshack as we speak
