Those who read Daily Dead regularly know that we're excited for the upcoming release of The Evil Within, a new survival horror video game from Resident Evil's Shinji Mikami. Titan Comics just announced that they will release a comic book mini-series that will serve as a prequel to the video game and we have a look at the first issue's cover art:

"Spun from the new survival horror game The Evil Within™ from Bethesda Softworks this all-new prequel invites readers to experience the deranged world created by Shinji Mikami.

Writer Ian Edginton (Scarlet Traces, Victorian Undead) and artist Alex Sanchez (Katana) present the story of a young student, Dana, whose search for a missing friend leads straight into a world fraught with tension and unimaginable horrors."
