An Overkill Primer: Pre-order House of the Dead, get prologue comic

by Xav de Matos { Jan 27th 2009 at 5:00PM }

You wouldn't think the House of the Dead series would need a lengthy explanation, but Sega disagrees. Pre-ordering The House of The Dead: Overkill nets gamers a 32-page comic book, illustrated by Steve Copter of punk-band 'Black Mekon' fame. Available in traditional paper form at GameStop or digitally from Amazon, the comic stars Overkill protagonist Agent Washington and stripper-extraordinaire Varla Gunns, and details events that occur just before the start of the upcoming game. Here we thought the only explanation needed with House of the Dead was: "Shoot everything that isn't you ... and don't accidentally shoot any survivors."

Hmm...are all the previous Fanboy site writers also doing all the...er...fanboy "spokes"? Xav never was a Nintendo dude before.

We can post on any of the spokes now, yeah. I like me some House of the Dead and this comic looks rad. So, I grabbed this story.

I couldn't think of an elegant way to style this missive, so here goes:

Varla Guns has gigantic breasts.

I'd love to know if this pre-order deal is going to be available in Canada. No Gamestops here and Amazon.com will ship to Canada, but at a heavy price.

Hey Alex,
I'm not sure if this comic is available to Canadian peeps. However, if you ping me a direct message over twitter http://www.twitter.com/segaeurope - I'll do my very best to get you a copy of the comic in the post from here in the UK.
