CNET reports, Marvel Comics is launching new Contest of Champions ongoing series based on the mobile video game developed by Kabam. As in the game, the story revolves around heroes being kidnapped and forced to fight by the Collector.
While Marvel Comics concepts and characters have been the driving force of films, television, and video game projects, this is the first time one such video game project has inspired a comic book of its own.
Bill Rosemann, creative director at Marvel’s games group, said, “On the comic book side, this book has to be as good and bar-shattering as the game.”
