NYCC: 'The Last Of Us' prequel from Dark Horse Comics

At New York Comic Con, Dark Horse Comics and Naughty Dog have announced they'll be doing a prequel comic series based on Playstation 3 game 'The Last of Us'.

The series will focus on protagonist Ellie and her life prior to the game's events. Artwork shown at a panel during Comic Con showed Ellie as a child with a new character, another little girl named Riley, in a crumbling city landscape.

The series will be written by both Neil Druckmann and Faith Erin Hicks with Hicks illustrating as well.

After seeing the various trailers for the game, I am looking forward to the game. If the prequel comic is as good as the other Dark Horse Comics gaming spinoffs (Mass Effect, Dragon Age) then this should be something good as well.
