Here at Panels & Pixels we're so used to passing along information about comic books turned into videogames, it's a welcome change of pace when a big videogame franchise tries going in the other direction. So is the case with Rockstar's next big title, "Max Payne 3." According to a recent press release, the game studio has teamed up with Marvel to issue a three-part comic series.
Almost nine years have passed since "Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne" jumped – in slow motion, guns blazing, of course – onto store shelves. Bringing the series back, rekindling interest from fans of the first two games and connecting the dots for "Payne" initiates, is no small order. The comic series looks to explain the story from all those years ago, while tying up any loose ends since the conclusion of "Max Payne 2."
According to Rockstar, the books will "delve into Max's troubled past - exploring the events that occurred in and around both 'Max Payne' and 'Max Payne 2,' leading up to 'Max Payne 3' while also shedding new light on Max's early years."
