DYNAMITE'S KILLER INSTINCT: Dynamite Entertainment has announced writer Ian Edginton and artist Cam Adams as the creative team of Killer Instinct, its video game-based comic book launching on Sept. 13.

Here's how the book is described:

"The Shadow Lord Gargos has been defeated, but the battle to save humankind from his Astral invasion has taken a terrible toll on the Earth. Our world lies in ruin, and a sinister new power called the Coven has risen from the ashes, vying with the megacorporation Ultratech to rule the shattered nations. The heroes Kim Wu and Jago -- their Astral powers weakened by their devastating war against Gargos -- must band together with the scattered remnants of the Night Guard to forge a pathway into the Astral Plane. Here, in the birthplace of The Shadow Lord and The Guardians, festers the secret malevolence that threatens to destroy them all...and enslave the world forever."

"Killer Instinct has a colorful and diverse cast of characters, each with their own rich back-stories and with plenty more tales to tell," Edginton said. "The Killer Instinct pantheon effectively comprises a superhero universe and it's hard not to get overwhelmed with the wealth of riches there is to work with. I've taken a dozen or so characters - Kim-Wu, Jago, Aganos, Tusk, Aganos, Kan-ra, etc, and built a story around them that's self-contained but can spring board into other series if need be. I've structured it to appeal to die-hard Ki fans and those coming to it cold. You won't need any foreknowledge of the game to enjoy it. Likewise, there will be plenty of nods and easter eggs to the game for Killer Instinct fans."
