Both stories were written by Anthony Johnston and have art by Ben Templesmith whose style I absolutely love the shit out of. The original one, the one I took pictures and scans of, which chronicles the events before the beginning of the first game in 6 issues, and which also has the Extraction one-shot lumped in the back of the volume, and which follows around the wife of the games' protagonist in the time before the outbreak began and she sent her husband the fateful video log that opens the first game. And then they even have the temerity to say that they think they don't deserve the title. Electronic Arts is the Beast Planet of video game companies, swallowing them whole and chewing them down for a profit.
After all they were the ones who cannibalized Visceral Games, the company that made besides Dead Space also another one of my other favourite horror games Dante's Inferno.
I used to be a big fan of the Dead Space games and so it is with a very particular kind of loathing that I look at EA these days as it is 'the worst gaming company in america' for a reason.
