The next generation of video game comics arrives
from Dark Horse and Deep Silver this May! The Gospel
According to Artyom, a Metro: Last Light digital
graphic novel, is a unique collaboration between Metro 2033 author Dmitry Glukhovsky and Dark Horse Comics.
Metro:
Last Light is a first-person-shooter
video game and the highly anticipated sequel to the extraordinary Metro 2033. In the year 2034, a nuclear
war has turned the world into a postapocalyptic wasteland. In Moscow, the
tunnels of the Metro have become a new home for the former inhabitants of the
city. Within the catacombs, they fight for their survival, fending off hordes
of hideous mutants born from the toxic atmosphere, as well as other factions
desperate to take control of what little hospitable land remains. As they
fight, they also search for a doomsday device that could be the key to their
victory. A civil war is inevitable. During these dark hours, the players will
embody Artyom and become the last light for all of mankind.
Telling the story of Artyom between the
fateful events of Metro 2033 and Metro: Last Light, the digital graphic
novel The Gospel According to Artyom is
available exclusively to customers who preorder Metro: Last Light through Steam and other selected retailers
worldwide.
"The Gospel
According to Artyom' is in fact the last chapter of Metro 2033 and the
first chapter of Metro: Last Light,
linking both stories together and giving an unexpected insight on what really
happened in the beginning of it all. Reading it will change your understanding
of my saga," said Dmitry Glukhovsky.
The novel Metro 2033 served as the inspiration for the creation of both video
games, and Glukhovsky personally contributed a huge volume of dialogue for Metro: Last Light. Glukhovsky’s novels Metro 2033 and Metro 2034 have sold more than two million copies worldwide. In
2013, his latest book, Metro 2035,
will be available outside of Russia.
