The sword-swinging, time-reversing, free-running mania of the Prince of Persia series has seemingly conquered every bit of terrrain the titular Prince has stepped across.
Well, get ready for a whole new frontier — comics.
Heidi at the Beat has confirmed that Disney will be producing an original graphic novel to go alongside their production of the Jake Gyllenhaal film The Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, and will be discussing it at 11:30 on Friday at the Disney Comics panel at the San Diego Comic Con.
According to Heidi, Prince of Persia game writer Jordan Mechner will be writing the 120-page book, Todd McFarlane will be doing the cover, while Niko Henrichon, Cameron Stewart, Tommy Lee Edwards, Bernard Chang, David Lopez, and Tom Fowler will be handling the interiors. Pretty sweet, eh? This particular portion of the Prince of Persia franchise was so popular it spawned two sequels, as this Prince has literally fractured the forces of time, which he can manipulate using a special dagger stolen from the desert.
