I'm slightly confused. I play the game and am not accustomed to looking for comics. Since it's a new release it's really hard to find any info on it. I read somewhere that there's 4 books? How would someone go about getting theyre hands on them? Do you have any good sites you use?

The whole run will be four issues, but only three are out so far. The sales on issue one were way better than th epublisher expected, and as such, it has become a sought after collectible. Even the second printing is sold out all over! You can either poke eBay, see what you can get, or hang fire until the collected edition drops, which will be December 4th

So I'll click and it's not available and then I'll forget to go back and check later. It would help me out a lot if they were just available instead of needing to wait for the premiere. It might help increase views. Maybe. I'm not an expert on this. I'm just relaying my personal experience. But I've definitely bought and loved new comics because of your videos.
