EVE: True Stories is a comic based on a true story that happens 20,000 years in the future. Based on a popular tale that happened in the world of EVE Online, it is available NOW from Dark Horse!

CCP t0rfifrans brings us another dev blog about the comic and how you can read it now for free!

I like it so far. I am not a comic book fan, and it does seem really "comic booky", and less EVE-y.

Yea, this doesn't look like the EVE I know...

Theres more than one person in the same room, and the room isn't even one of the four rooms players are allowed into!

Yeah, it's like what I wish EVE was more like.

It looks like a well-executed example of the form. I've already heard the story too many times to be interested, but for people who haven't been subjected to the nonstop propagation of the tale it's probably a good read.

EDIT: Never mind. Noticed that's it 1/4.



Like others above, I seldom read comics but I'm liking it so far.

Does it stop at page 17 and that's it, though?

Or am i missing something? I click the "Keep Reading" button, but to no avail.

I like how the speech btw pilots resembles a lot how we roll in EVE :D...Also it is really nice to see EVE from another perspective, ie comick book.

With this perspective and DUST514 EVE is becoming less and less EVEonline and more and more New Eden. I like the turn it is taking, enjoy it very much. It kind a completes the immersion.

I'm guessing I'll need to sign up an account with Darkhorse before I can read this?
Is it not going to be published on it's own in the Google Play store under the books section?

That's Dark Horse's fault then...

Is it me, or did you just write alts into canon with the last page?

Well spotted, sir. Alts are a part of this story, so yes they had to be explained!

A question regarding copyright.

Are we allowed to use some Image or part of images as forum signature, blog banners etc?

Because hot damn, there are some gorgeous looking ships in that comic.

It will be sold on Google books in June if you want to wait until then. Along with other major ebook providers, and of course as a hardcover.

Or you can get it for free now by signing up to Dark Horse.

Such is the burden of our modern lives!

I love it.

It's got a real comic book feel, from some experienced folks. Lovely artwork too.

Can't wait for the next issues, and further stories too!

Books and comics down, TV show in the works. EVE is really spreading it's media wings.

EVE theme parks and McDonalds toys by 2016. You heard it here first folks.

Indeed. We are building a robot that looks like Yul Brynner that will welcome you to our upcoming theme park.

Thanks for reading!
