EA are already making a comic series in support of Dante's Inferno, and now too are going all graphic novel; this time in support of their - due out in 2010.

The new graphic novel is being written by Prince of Persia creator Jordan Mechner, with Todd McFarlane behind the cover art. A range of other comic book talent are behind the interior artwork, we're told.

Six stories will be included in the new novel, which will act as a prequel to the Sands of Time story - already brought to life in game-form and now set for celluloid, too.

A release in April 2010 is planned. More on this soon.
