Due out this summer, the comic series will focus on backstory for the upcoming expansion which is due out this August. Each issue will contain 22 pages which will be released digitally and the full series will also be released as full-colour, printed graphic novel which will be published by Dynamite next year.

The novel is being illustrated by Carlos Rodriguez of Nightwing and Teen Titans (DC Comics) fame, and will be written by Royal McGraw who has worked with DC Comics, Syfy Channel, and Electronic Arts.
