Today, digital comics platform ComiXology announced that the first installment of a four-issue digital preview of the "Hawken" is now available. While the full hardcover release of "Hawken: Genesis" won't be available until March of next year, the preview will offer the first glimpse of some of the backstory for Adhesive's upcoming free-to-play mech shooter--along with an invite to join the closed beta.
Earlier this year, we spoke with Transmedia producer Joe LeFavi about the 2013 comic release with comics publisher Archaia, where he summed up some of the mythology being built out in the upcoming hardcover:
A few hundred years into the future, big business has propelled Mankind to expand across the galaxy. Yet for the first time in history, the government permits three corporations to privately terraform and colonize an entire planet. Just imagine it. An entire planet owned and governed by corporate interests. On this planet, we watch...

Check out this incredibly cool live-action trailer for the video game Hawken. Even if you don't know what Hawken is, you should still watch this! This is the first of a series of digital shorts that we will see. They were directed by Gears of War creative director Jeremiah O'Flaherty. There's some great designs and it's a solid combination of live-action and CGI. I love how the mech armor was done.
Hawken is a mech-based first-person shooter. The game takes place in a post-apocalyptic human-colonized planet industrialized to the point of collapse, in which the hunt for resources has become a battle for survival. Four game modes are planned for release: team deathmatch, free-for-all deathmatch, "siege" and another yet-specified unique team game mode; Khang Le has said that they also want to do a co-op"Horde" game mode, resource- and time-permitting. Seven to eight unique maps have been planned for the game on release,...

Up until this point, Adhesive Games' mech combat Fps Hawken has dazzled us with its Unreal-powered visuals, realizing detailed, ravaged cityscapes. But in the months we've been teased with the playgrounds where you and your mech will be blasting enemies to bits, there haven't been all that many details about the story about the world of the game. Transmedia producer Joe LeFavi is hoping to change that with the upcoming release of an original graphic novel set in the Hawken universe from comic publisher Archaia. LeFavi, who's with transmedia company Quixotic Transmedia (the folks who try to figure out how to get movies into games, games into comics, and so on), is overseeing the production of the graphic novel which will feature multiple artists including Adhesive Games co-founder, Khang Le.
While its release is about a year out, we got a few questions over to LeFavi by e-mail recently during...

Archaia Entertainment and Meteor Entertainment have announced a Hawken graphic novel. The book will be based on Meteor's forthcoming first-person shooter. Jeremy Barlow is writing alongside an artistic team including Moritat (Elephantmen), Stefano Gaudiano (Daredevil, Amazing Spider-Man), and Khang Le (Flight). Hawken is set on a post-apocalyptic, over-industrialised planet where the surviving population battle over their dwindling resources. "What excited us most about Hawken was their determination to revitalise, if not redefine, how people see and appreciate mechs," said the book's executive editor Joe LeFavi. "Boasting influences from Blade (more)...
