DC Comics and Capcom have announced plans to join forces to create a comic book series based on Resident Evil and Devil May Cry.
Details on the new series, including creative team and launch month, will be announced at a later date. Both titles will be published by DC Comics’ WildStorm imprint.
To coincide with the Resident Evil comic book is the latest installment in the series, Resident Evil 5, which unveils a world where the biohazard threat has not ended: Just when it seemed the menace of Resident Evil was destroyed, a new terror appears. Returning hero, Chris Redfield, has followed the path of the evil around the globe, and after joining a new organization, heads to Africa, where the latest threat is transforming people and animals into mindless, bloodthirsty creatures. Joined by a new partner, Sheva Alomar, the duo must work together to unravel the truth behind the evil menace.
Check back for more details as they are made available.

Eh, I’m sure it will popular for a little while. But I doubt it’ll catch on to become anything more than a fad. Hope the story will translate well to comic book pages.
