IGN’s comic book site has a preview up of the new Gears of War comic from Wildstorm, a sub-company to DC.

The book is written by Josh Ortega who has done quite a bit for both Marvel and DC, and has even worked on Star Wars comics, so he’s used to adapting properties to comic form, so hopefully the long awaited story that bridges Gears of War to Gears of War 2 will be well done.

However, there are some questions that must be answered immediately:

- Will Liam Sharp’s pencils capture the ethereal beauty and unrelenting darkness juxtaposition that makes up the series’ tone?

- Why didn’t the Light Mass Bomb wipe out the entire Locust Horde?

- How many chainsaw bayonetings can we look forward to per page?

- Will the Cole Train translate well to another medium without the angelic tones of Terrible Terry Tate: Office Linebacker to bring him to life?

Terry Tate: Office Linebaker

Terry Tate: Vacation

Probably not.Fun Fact: In the first video around 3:30, Terry says to a fellow office worker, “your ass must be crazy.” That phrase has been scientifically proven to be the funniest thing you can scream at another human being.I probably use it 9,000 times a day.

Cliffy B, please, put that phrase in the game. Assign it it’s own button.

Gears of War 2 streets November 7th 2008, exclusively for the Xbox 360.
