  Updated: 08 / 06 / 2007 VIEW THE KICK-OFF COMIC In honor of the launch of Sid Meier’s Civilization IV: Beyond the Sword, the biggest Civ expansion pack ever, 2K Games and Firaxis have partnered with several web comic creators popular in the gaming community to create and showcase comics and animated shorts set within the Sid Meier’s Civilization universe. As the game that launched the “God Game” strategy genre, Civilization has allowed players to direct great armies in battles and bring warring factions together in dazzling feats of diplomacy. Every player experiences the ultimate thrill of being in command and leading a nation. Yet, we’ve always wondered what it would be like to hear from the units and characters inside the game – to give them a voice. What if life inside a game of Civilization was real – real at least to the characters inside the game’s universe? What would the units inside a game say to each other? What would they say about you – the game’s “God” – and the decisions you make and strategies you employ? To celebrate the release of Civilization IV: Beyond the Sword, 2K and Firaxis Games have challenged several of the most beloved creators of “web comics” to give a voice to the characters in Civ through a series of comics called Civilization Daydreams. Starting on July 24th and ending August 10, 2007, these Civilization-themed web comics from the artists behind 8-Bit Theater, Control-Alt-Delete, Dueling Analogs, GUComics, MyExtraLife and PvPOnline, as well as animated shorts from members of the creative team behind the Over the Hedge comic and animated film, will debut on a combination of the comic creator websites and Civ fansites including www.apolyton.net, www.civfanatics.com and planetcivilization.gamespy.com. The www.civilization.com/daydreams web site will also be updated weekly with all of the Civilization Daydreams comics and animated shorts. |
