Assassin's Creed: Visionaries #1 (50 Copy Cover)
Intended for mature audiences
Award-winning French illustrator, concept artist, and author in the comic book industry, Olivier Vatine known most recently for his work with Mike Mignola on Hellboy and the B.P.R.D.: Night of the Cyclops
for Dark Horse Comics, captures the ancient origins of Assassin's Creed.
The Assassin's Creed® franchise was created over 15 years ago, so what better way to celebrate it than to give renowned comic artists to share their own, personal visions of Ubisoft's hidden blade-wielding, parkour-running, century-spanning Assassin's Creed®? Assassin's Creed: Visionaries will be the first Assassin's Creed comic adaptation to debut before a video game release. Each issue will feature two stories by today's top talents in the comics and pop culture industry and all assassin characters will be created by the artists themselves.
In this first issue, celebrated artist (American Vampire, Blue Beetle, Detective Comics, Prodigy) is joined by writer Ale Santos and colorist Marcelo Maiolo to tell the story of an Assassin chasing Nazi officers, now hiding in Argentina.
Also, European writer/artist (Tessa Agent Intergalactique, Carmen McCallum, Aquablue) is joined by Véra Daviet to weave us a tale set in a future where the Templars are on the verge, yet again, of eliminating the Assassin Brotherhood once and for all!
