First Issue of Formic Wars: Silent Strike

Today the first issue of Formic Wars: Silent Strike (32 pages of awesomeness) hits shelves. This comic series produced by Marvel is a prequel to Ender’s Game, featuring all-new material not based on any Enderverse novel or short story. Read the official description below:

“The all-new prequel to Orson Scott Card’s science-fiction classic Ender’s Game returns! With 44 million people killed by the toxic gas the alien formics unleashed in China, the only hope of a counter-agent lies with Mazer Rackham and the Mobile Operations Police safely retrieving a sample. Meanwhile, young asteroid miner Victor Delgado has snuck aboard the formic mothership in hopes of taking it down alone…and boy is he is for a big disappointment.” 

This particular Ender comic series will be a five-issue limited series, with a new volume due out every month for the next five months. Be sure to check out your local comic book retailer, or try calling your local bookstore and ask if they have it in stock.
