Not a lot of news has stirred regarding the new Mad Max game, in development by Avalanche Studios. Max Max is an open world action game, where gamers will play as the movie-originated post-apocalyptic hero, Mad Max, who is after a group of marauders that have stolen his Interceptor. As a prequel companion piece to the game, WBGamesUK has released a web comic for gamers to familiarize themselves with the story and get introduced to “Chumbucket,” who will be Mad Max’s trusted mechanic in the game. The DC Entertainment motion comic is from writer Tom Taylor (Injustice: God’s Among Us, Earth 2) and artist Jason Shawn Alexander (Legends of the Dark Knight). Although this may not be suitable as a stand-alone motion comic, it is nice to see something from this franchise again. The comic and game seem to be marketing tie-ins to garner early interest in the new Mad Max movie starring Tom Hardy, scheduled to also be released in 2014 and currently in post-production according to IMDb.com.
Mad Max is scheduled for a 2014 release on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PC.
