Mechanist Games Announces Heroes Of Skyrealm Comic

Mechanist Games, the company behind the shut down MMORPG City of Steam, announced today that its upcoming mobile action RPG Heroes of Skyrealm will be receiving a companion comic, the cover of which you can find embedded below. The comic was created "in association with Dynamite Entertainment," which you may know as the company behind the A Game of Thrones, Grimm, Red Sonja, and The Shadow comic series, and is intended to introduce prospective players to the game's characters and world before its release.

Mechanist Games Creative Lead David Lindsay had the following to say about the announcement.

At the core of Heroes of Skyrealm, players have this incredible airship as a mobile headquarters. But where did that technology come from? Who are the heroes that you recruit and lead into battle? Making a fun and fast game has always been a huge goal for us, but the comic has given us the opportunity to build Skyrealm's setting and cast from a different angle. It's been really exciting to see the world and these characters come together in two distinct, complementary styles.

The comic will be released "page by page" via the website and social media "in late July or early August." The game's release will follow sometime later this year.
