Metro: Last Light Comic Announced By Dark Horse

Dark Horse Comics and Deep Silver today announced an upcoming digital comic called The Gospel According to Artyom. Set in the world of Metro: Last Light, is a unique collaboration between Metro 2033 author Dmitry Glukhovsky and Dark Horse Comics. Metro: Last Light is a first-person-shooter video game and the highly anticipated sequel to Metro 2033. In the year 2034, a nuclear war has turned the world into a post-apocalyptic wasteland. In Moscow, the tunnels of the Metro have become a new home for the former inhabitants of the city. Within the catacombs, they fight for their survival, fending off hordes of hideous mutants born from the toxic atmosphere, as well as other factions desperate to take control of what little hospitable land remains. As they fight, they also search for a doomsday device that could be the key to their victory. "The Gospel According to Artyom is the last chapter of Metro 2033 and the first chapter of Metro: Last Light, linking both stories together and giving an unexpected insight on what really happened in the beginning of it all. Reading it will change your understanding of my saga," said Dmitry Glukhovsky. The novel Metro 2033 served as the inspiration for the creation of both video games, and Glukhovsky personally contributed a huge volume of dialogue for Metro: Last Light. Glukhovsky's novels Metro 2033 and Metro 2034 have sold more than two million copies worldwide. In 2013, his latest book, Metro 2035, will be available outside of Russia.
