[ Legacy of Kain: The Lost Worlds ]

Comic Books

article by Ben Lincoln

 

Two distinct comic books have been created as promotional material for the Legacy of Kain series.

The first was a lead-in to the release of the original Soul Reaver, and contains hints of that game's events. Because it was produced before Soul Reaver was finalized, it includes information about The Priestess, a character which was deleted before release.

Top Cow (the publisher of the Soul Reaver comic) preceeded it with a black and white preview of some of the artwork in a Tomb Raider comic book (itself a "Preview Edition" of the real release). This Tomb Raider comic book is available in at least two variations: the original release and a "Monster Edition" which appears to have identical content.

Eidos licensed Gamestop and Electronics Boutique to offer a second comic book as a pre-order bonus for the Playstation 2 and Xbox versions of Defiance in the United States. These comic books had covers customized for the two retailers (as this took place prior to their merger), but the content is identical. Similar to the Soul Reaver comic book, the story was a lead-in to the events of Defiance.
