Titan Comics Announces Lost Planet: First Colony Comic Series
Space explorers have a penchant for finding and discovering new planets and solar systems. Sometimes though, the planets stumbled upon are better off left alone...maybe even lost. Lost Planet: First Colony is a new series from Titan Comics that looks at the Capcom inspired planet. The two issue digital series is in stores now, with the hardcover graphic novel in stores December 31.
Lost Planet: First Colony uncovers the dark secrets of the iceworld of E.D.N. III – the lost planet – and its deadly, indigenous Akrid. In E.D.N. III’s icy wastes, no-one is safe – least of all the crew of the pirate vessel, Crusader, come to pillage its technology! There’s a strong chance that no-one will leave this world alive…
The work features the art of Massimo Dall'Oglio and written by Guillame Dorison. Retailers can order the LOST PLANET original graphic novel from the September 2013 edition of Diamond PREVIEWS.

ABOUT LOST PLANET 3
Lost Planet 3 delivers a mix of action both inside and outside of Jim’s Utility Rig vehicle. Acting as a home away from home and offering protection from the ever changing climate, Jim soon discovers the Utility Rig’s array of tools are just as useful at taking out Akrid as they are at helping him fulfill his contract work. Outside the rig, the action switches to third person with Jim at the mercy of the elements. He’ll need to battle against hostile enemies with a mix of gun and melee based combat in order to survive all that is thrown at him.
