FROM SPLASH PAGE: A comic book based on one of the gaming world's most popular franchises, created by one of the comic book world's most popular writer/artist teams, Marvel Comics' "Halo: Uprising" was as near to a perfect crossover project as we tend to get in the comics and gaming scenes.

Next week, the four-issue series by the award-winning team of Marvel Universe architect Brian Michael Bendis and celebrated artist Alex Maleev ("Daredevil") hits shelves in a special hardcover edition that collects all four issues and features a variety of early art and "making of" content. Marvel has provided MTV News with an exclusive preview of some of that content -- including several inked pages showcasing Maleev's much-praised work in bringing Master Chief, The Covenant and Bendis' "Uprising" tale to life.

Find out more about the "Halo: Uprising" HC collection and get a preview of never-before-seen art over at SplashPage.MTV.com.

If you can't wait for the release of "StarCraft II," check out the new comic book by DC Comics' Wildstorm imprint. Written by Keith Giffen ("Annihilation") and Simon Furman (Transformers) with art by Federico Dallocchio, the story revolves around the WarPigs, outlaws charged with assassinating legendary terran Jim Raynor. Check out the first six pages of Issue #1 here, exclusively on MTV Multiplayer, before it hits stores on May 27.

Here's a panel from the "Power Girl" back-up story in a pretty good new comic from DC Comics called "The Flash: Rebirth." I read it once this week without making any video game connections. And then a friend (Rick Marshall, who runs MTV's Splash Page comics-movies blog) showed me the spread above and pointed out that it might remind some people of "BioShock." I see what he's talking about. Big Daddies everywhere. [NOTE: I originally wrote that this panel was from the "Flash" comic's lead story. It is not. I regret the error.]

"Watchmen: The End is Nigh" isn't the only title being released for the upcoming comic book film. Described as "a dynamic strategy fighting game," "Watchmen: Justice is Coming" will be available exclusively for the iPhone and iPod Touch. Read more...

The producer and writer of upcoming PSP arcade-style brawler "Unbound Saga" told me about the game's fictional history, why it's a PSN-only download and how it's different from "Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard." Read more...
