This article is from the first edition of The Video Game Librarian website I published between 2008 and 2010. It was originally written on November 20, 2008.

The six issue prequel comic book series to Dead Space has been collected and released as a hardcover graphic novel. The book will initially be released exclusively to comic book stores and then other retailers and websites at the end of November.

The story was written by Antony Johnson and illustrated by Ben Templesmith. The graphic novel collection includes exclusive cover art by Templesmith, an exclusive bonus art section, and a background section on the major characters.

This is not the only prequel offshoot of Dead Space. A Direct-To-DVD movie, Dead Space: Downfall, was released in October.
