Comic-Con left as quickly as it arrived, but is there is plenty of exciting news that came out of the convention. Blizzard Entertainment has teamed up with Titan Comics to bring the demon-plagued world of Diablo to life in a new four-part comic series written by Marv Wolfman (Blade) with artwork by Piotr Kowalski (Wolfenstein).
The Diablo comic book will follow a group of zealots on a journey to find the real origins of humanity. Both Blade and Wolfenstein are more than solid series with high-caliber writing and illustrations, which could make for a perfect blend with a series like Diablo.
Press Release: Titan Comics and Blizzard Entertainment are thrilled to announce an all-new comic book series set in the universe of the critically acclaimed and genre-defining action role-playing game series Diablo.
Written by Marv Wolfman (Blade, Crisis on Infinite Earths) and illustrated by Piotr Kowalski (Wolfenstein), DIABLO will launch with a four-part miniseries in 2018. The comics will follow a group of zealous scholars and crusaders as they discover the true origins of humanity. Will their faith survive these shocking revelations?
Set in the dark and demon-infested world of Sanctuary, the Diablo game series invites players to face down the infernal hordes of the Burning Hells—and rewards them for their efforts with piles and piles of epic loot. Diablo III, the current installment, set a record for fastest-selling PC game, with over 3.5 million copies sold in the first day of its release, and more than 30 million sold to date. Diablo III is available for Windows, macOS, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One platforms.
Look for more details about this exciting release from Titan Comics and Blizzard Entertainment soon.

Character sketches by Piotr Kowalski:
Tamika hails from North Beach, Maryland, a tiny town inches from the Chesapeake Bay.She knew she wanted to be an actor after reciting a soliloquy by Sojourner Truth in front of her entire fifth grade class. Since then, she's appeared in over 20 film and television projects. In addition to acting, Tamika is the Indie Spotlight manager for Daily Dead, where she brings readers news on independent horror projects every weekend.
The first horror film Tamika watched was Child's Play. Being eight years old at the time, she remembers being so scared when Chucky came to life that she projectile vomited. It's tough for her to choose only one movie as her favorite horror film, so she picked two: Nosferatu and The Stepford Wives (1975).
