StarCraft (comic)

A StarCraft comic covering events prior to StarCraft II is being produced by DC Comics (Wildstorm). It will be a monthly ongoing series with the first issue due in May 2009.

A four-page promotion of the comic was present in the BlizzCon 2008 "goodie bag"; the sampler was split between the StarCraft comic and a preview of Ashbringer volume 1.

Development
Blizzard Entertainment has carried out at least one change in artistic style and writing. A different direction for the comic has been taken and most of the original team of artists and writers have been taken off the project. Once the comic book is released however, Shawn Moll (one of the original artists) intends to display the initial concept art before the change in style. The new team appears to consist of Simon Furman and Federico Dallocchio.

Plot
The WarPigs, a disbanded group of outlaws, is brought back together by their former captain to assassinate Jim Raynor.
