Visceral Games and Image Comics have confirmed the release of an all-new comic based on Dead Space Extraction, the upcoming rail shooter for the Nintendo Wii. The Dead Space Extraction comic reunites renowned illustrator Ben Templesmith and writer Antony Johnston with the game’s terrifying fiction.

“There is so much more to the Dead Space universe than we could ever fit into one game and we’re excited to be working with Image Comics again to extend the story in Dead Space Extraction,” said Steve Papoutsis, executive producer of Dead Space Extraction. “Ben and Antony did such a tremendous job with the original comic, we can’t wait for fans to get their hands on this special issue.”

The comic will be on store shelves in September 2009 and a limited edition version of the comic featuring exclusive cover art will be available at the EA Comic-con booth. For some extra nerdiness, Ben Templesmith and Antony Johnston will be at the booth signing the special issues on Thursday 3-4 PM and Friday – Sunday 1-2 PM.
