First part of NIER comic book is here for you to read

As promised the action RPG NIER has become a comic. It’s got pictures and word bubbles and all those other nice things you expect from a comic book. More importantly, it fills us in on the game’s world, in which humanity has taken a bit of a nose dive.

Those planning on picking up the game when it lands on April 27 might want to head over to the game’s page and check out the first of the three issues for themselves. It involves the game’s namesake and plenty of bad guys. This is actually kind of a big deal since we know relatively little about the game’s story or plot, and have only been teased with video and screenshots.

Take a look. It’s definitely made me a lot more interested in the game.
