In an
interview with Newsarama.com comic-book writer Greg Pak revealed that he is working on a new comic by the name of
Marvel Nemesis: The Imperfects, what he discribes as "a cool crossover miniseries which throws a team of classic Marvel characters against a team of brand new superheroes created by the brilliant folks at EA." Developed by EA Canada, Marvel vs. EA was first revealed last year and has been kept on a low profile since, but it seems the veil is being lifted slowly. The console fighting game will put superheroes from the Marvel universe against all new and ficticious superheroes created by EA specifically for this product. Not much more is being revealed for now, but check out the interview for some more comments.
