Bundled with Vampire Adventure
LANGHORNE,
“We are pleased to continue teaming with Dynamite
to provide extra value to casual game and vampire fans across the Internet,”
said eGames Product Manager Greg Zesinger.
“Through the digital comic, we are excited to provide everyone who
downloads The Dracula Files with an
illustrated look at Bram Stoker’s famous novel, along with his lesser-known
short story, Dracula’s Guest.”
Following the adventures of a new generation of
vampire hunters, The Dracula Files
finds its reluctant heroes facing werewolves, vampires, and dark spirits in a
globe-spanning search for cursed objects and holy relics. Launch of the game across the major game
sites is ongoing, with distribution on the top three portals expected by early
2010. The boxed version of the game
begins shipping to retailers in January, along with popular storybook adventure
Enlightenus and match-3 puzzler The Lost Inca Prophecy.
Written by John Reppion and Leah Moore, The Complete Dracula retells the tale of
the villainous count through five fully-painted issues courtesy of artist
Colton Worley. With covers created by
modern master John Cassaday and a seamless incorporation of Stoker’s short
story “Dracula’s Guest” into the miniseries, The Complete Dracula provides new insight into the vampire
legend. A graphic novel compilation of
the five-issue set is scheduled for release in early 2010.
“We're excited to work on this with eGames,” said
Dynamite Entertainment President Nick Barrucci.

comic series featuring "The Complete
