Wildstorm has previously published several comic book series based on game properties, including Capcom's Resident Evil and Blizzard Entertainment's World of Warcraft.

"We are thrilled to be working with DC Comics to further bring to life the Gears of War universe," said Epic Games president Michael Capps. "A lot of our developers are huge comic fans, and have loved the personas and chronicles unique to DC Comics since childhood."

DC Comics said that more details about the series, including the creative team tapped to produce the Gears of War comic series, will be announced at a later date.
