Dynamite Entertainment and Ubisoft Team Up To Release ‘Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell Echoes’ Comic Book! SNEAK PREVIEW!
Dynamite Entertainment and Ubisoft have joined together to give readers a thrilling new series, Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Echoes. Critically acclaimed writer Nathan Edmondson (Black Widow) and artist Marc Laming (Kings Watch) will embark on a new spy/military adventure that takes place between the Splinter Cell's videogame franchise, Conviction and Blacklist.
Edmondson talks about writing for the Splinter Cell franchise, "With Ubisoft, Laming and I had the unique opportunity to take on one of the most successful and recognizable franchises in video games. I'm telling a full and original story that stands on its own as an action-espionage tale that we're both proud of, bringing a narrative element to the thrill of the game in a way that only a comic can do."
Plot Synopsis:
Sam Fisher, once a Splinter Cell--a clandestine elite operative operating in the shadows of the NSA--is now retired. His enemies, however, are not. Haunted by dreams and memories of his past, he struggles to put his life back together. But when a mysterious terrorist organization called KROWE begins pursuing targets around the globe, Sam's expertise is needed to uncover their endgame and stop them before the deadly plot unfolds.
Laming adds to the excitement, "I've had a great time working with Dynamite on Kings Watch & Flash Gordon so it's really good news that the publisher is going to be the home for Splinter Cell Echoes. It's a rattling good spy-fi yarn full of the sort of story elements that Nathan [Edmondson] does best. It's a tale that gives good fan service while equally accessible to folk who don't know the Splinter Cell world - this is a kick ass, globe-trotting secret operative without restraints."
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Echoes will be available for release on July 2nd, just in time for Independence Day. The comic will host covers by artist Marc Laming and include bonus behind-the-scenes material from Ubisoft.
