The Command & Conquer franchise has been around since 1995 spanning a wide array of different platforms. However, it seems that the developers are going in a different direction with the game in 2010. The official website has been updated with several teaser images like the ones included above with the note, “Early 2010 will also bring you a new medium never created for the C&C franchise before, until now.”

What exactly will this new medium be? Well, judging by the teaser images we’re going to have to point to either a graphic novel or full fledged novel.

The first issue of the Dead Space comic is available online, free to read. The comic, written and illustrated by Anthony Johnson and Ben Templesmith, is a prequel to the movie Dead Space: Downfall, which itself is a prequel to the game Dead Space. It’s published by Image Comics, which has so far published six issues of the Dead Space book. You can check out the first one here.
