The ‘World of Tanks’ Franchise is Getting a Comic Series Called ‘World of Tanks: Roll Out’

TouchArcade Rating:

Wargaming.net’s World of Tanks: Blitz (Free) and all the other World of Tanks iterations have been doing very, very well, so we shouldn’t be surprised that the company has decided to create a comic series based on the history behind the iconic steel behemoths. World of Tanks: Roll Out, will be coming out of Dark Horse Comics (which is publishing some great stuff recently), will be written by Garth Ennis (Preacher, The Punisher), who will be bringing a historically-informed approach to the story, and illustrated by Carlos Ezquerra (Judge Dredd). The covers will be illustrated by Isaac Hannaford (The Punisher, Halo: Reach) and judging by the sample cover below, they’ll look gorgeous.

The comic series is set in post D-Day Normandy when the British armored units were facing off against German armored units and will focus on the men who commanded those tanks. The whole setup reminded me of the recent movie Fury, which managed to create a tension-filled story within the claustrophobic confines of a WW II tank interior (although Fury was about an American rather than a British tank). The first issue will be available digitally in Fall 2016 across North America and Europe and the other five issues will follow in monthly intervals.
