Darkness II: Confession Comic for Free!

// //

2K Games and Top Cow Productions have teamed up to produce a free comic book tie-in for The Darkness II. The Darkness II: Confession will be distributed to indie comic book stores worldwide on May 7th, Free Comic Book Day.

Confession is a 32-page comic that serves as a prequel to The Darkness II. It introduces players to Jackie Estacado, a hitman that wields a supernatural force known as The Darkness. The comic chronicles the events of the first game and then sets up the sequel. Free Comic Book Day is an annual event in which select comic book shops around the world give away comic books to customers for no charge. This is the tenth year of the event, which is held on the first Saturday of every May. Top Cow is a Silver Sponsor of Free Comic Book Day 2011.

Duke Nukem Forever Delayed Until June 14

Did anyone really expect a game like Duke Nukem Forever to ship when people said it would? Not that I wasn’t hoping it would, but it always just seemed…right that DNF should be delayed one last time. Gearbox has pushed the decade-in-the-making game back a month and a half from its original May 3rd release date for a currently unknown reason. However, I’d have to imagine that it’s fairly significant. Gearbox has seemed very intent on making this date. However, they’ve put out a video to tide you over until the game launches. Oddest to me about this is that the international release date is now 4 days prior to the North American launch, as opposed to the original plan to go international 3 days afterwards. I’m a tad disappointed that DNF won’t be launching on my birthday, but c’est la vie. I can wait a month and a half more.
