Description
A six-issue limited series from Image Comics published in partnership with Electronic Arts, serving as a direct prequel to the 2008 survival horror video game Dead Space. Written by Antony Johnston with art by Ben Templesmith, the story unfolds aboard the USG Ishimura, a deep-space planet cracker mining vessel, charting the chain of events that transforms the ship into a slaughterhouse. The discovery of an alien artifact known as the Red Marker, combined with the influence of the Unitologist religious movement, sets off a catastrophic outbreak among the crew. Johnston establishes the characters and circumstances players encounter at the game's opening, while Templesmith's painterly, shadow-heavy art suits the escalating dread of deep-space isolation. The series and the animated film Dead Space: Downfall together form the complete narrative bridge leading into the game.
