Splinter Cell: Echoes

Comic book fans have long since accepted that most comics based on video games simply aren't very good. One of the few companies to successfully challenge that notion is Ubisoft. Their Assassin's Creed spinoff, Assassin's Creed: The Fall, was a surprisingly enjoyable series that avoided the usual mistakes and managed to add something memorable to the franchise. Ubisoft followed up that series with another graphic novel, Assassin's Creed: The Chain, that proved equally enjoyable.

 

Now the question is whether they can find the same magic with another franchise entirely. Today Ubisoft announced that Splinter Cell will be their next property making the transition from games to comics. But whereas the Assassin's Creed comics focused on a new lead hero, Splinter Cell: Echoes will remain focused squarely on Sam Fisher. This full-length graphic novel is written by Nathan Edmondson (Ultimate Comics: Iron Man) and illustrated by Marc Laming (Planet of the Apes), and will bridge the gap between Splinter Cell: Conviction and the 2013 sequel, Splinter Cell: Blacklist.

 

Splinter Cell: Echoes will be released in 2013.
