Dark Horse to Publish ''SMITE'' Graphic Novel

05/12/2016 1:04pm

The online game "SMITE: Battleground of the Gods" comes to comics!
 
Dark Horse proudly announces the newest video game comic book in its long line of best-selling titles with SMITE: The Pantheon War!
From veteran games writer John Jackson Miller (Star Wars, Mass Effect), cowriter Jack Banish, and artist Eduardo Francisco (Eve: Valkyrie, Captain Midnight), SMITE: The Pantheon War collects the three-part digital comic series telling the tale of the looming war between the pantheons!
It is an age where gods live among the mortals over which they rule. The worship of mortals is needed by the gods to maintain their divinity—but the number of gods has swelled, and there are fewer mortal faithful for the individual gods in each pantheon. Only the gods who maintain worshipers will survive, and so tensions are rising among the pantheons. There is an uneasy peace…but peace is not desired by all!
SMITE: The Pantheon War (978-1-50670-233-9 / $14.99) is in stores December 28, 2016. Preorder your copy today at your local comic shop or through these fine retailers:
Amazon
Barnes and Noble
Hi-Rez Studios’ SMITE (PC, Xbox One, PS4) is a free-to-play, team-based action game with a global community of more than fourteen million players. With more than seventy playable mythological gods, players battle for domination across six intense game modes.
Praise for SMITE: Battleground of the Gods:
“SMITE is invigorating.”—PCGamesN
“Decidedly different gameplay, a quirky and lighthearted take on classic mythology, and a variety of interesting modes.”—Game Informer
“Makes the MOBA more approachable with smart tweaks to the formula and action RPG-inspired combat.”—PC Gamer
