Ubisoft has announced that it is collaborating on DC Comics WildStorm Productions to make a Driver comic. It will feature a cover by Jock (The Losers, Judge Dredd, Batman), illustrations by Greg Scott (Gotham Central, Case Files: Sam and Twitch) and writing by David Lapham (Stray Bullets, Sparta USA, Young Liars), where the story between Driv3r and Driver San Francisco will be filled.
The Driver universe has always drawn heavy inspiration from Hollywood action movies, said Martin Edmondson, creative director at Ubisoft Reflections. When looking at how to present Tanner’ s story leading into Driver San Francisco, doing a comic book was a perfect fit; we could tell the story in a gritty, hard-edged fashion using cinematic visuals and emotional set pieces, yet in a palatable and mainstream medium.
Once we saw the advanced peek at this game, we knew David Lapham would be perfect to craft this story building up to Driver San Francisco, and we were thrilled when Jock and Greg Scott were able to join the comic team, said Hank Kanalz, VP and General Manager, WildStorm.
