Shane McCarthy To Write New Comic Based On Crackdown 3 Game

Published Tue, 18 Jul 2017 08:59:38 -0500

Dynamite and Microsoft Studios are partnered to produce a new comic series based on the Xbox-exclusive, open-world action-adventure game, Crackdown. The series will be written by Shane McCarthy (Transformers: All Hail Megatron) and delve into the catastrophic global events that set the plot in motion for Crackdown 3, while expanding the universe of Crackdown far beyond the boundaries of the already-expansive game environment.

In Crackdown 3, releasing November 7 as an Xbox One exclusive, a series of devastating blackout attacks have taken the world and The Agency by surprise. From out of nowhere, a new enemy has targeted major metropolitan areas with a never-before-seen form of elemental warfare, plunging vast swaths of society into darkness and chaos. In the aftermath, the Agency has picked up a hot lead – and now they'll stop at nothing to find the ones who knocked the world down, to deliver a harsh dose of Justice…by any means necessary.

Shane McCarthy says:

I'm really excited to be a part of bringing the Crackdown comic to life. I'm a big fan of the games and have been from the first one! What I'm most excited about is exploring the Crackdown universe further and taking a longer look at what it's like to be a part of it. It's going to be a lot of fun seeing what makes these Agents tick as they punch their way to a better world!

The first issue of the Crackdown comic will release November 8, 2017 and is available for free to all that purchase a copy of Crackdown 3.
