Rockstar, I think you should make comic book series for your other games such as the GTA series, as well as Red Dead Redemption. That would be great.

  @vivaGTA Cheers for the suggestion

hey R* will you ever make another comic book series? also would you ever consider making a comic book series of one of your video games?
- R* Yon December 11 2012, 3:05pmReply
  @Fanrific Thanks for the suggestion. We usually don't pre-announce in comments when we're going to be doing things like comic books. This doesn't mean we are or aren't planning on doing more comic books, but rather that we're open to all possibilities when it comes to our games that will be released in the future.

Please consider making a max payne, bruce willis or punisher cross over! Make it a comic series or even a game! Either way it would be awesme!

Please sell these. I hit my local comic bookshop every week and ask if they have gotten in the Marvel Max Payne comics until I read your post about the comics being promotional only. I am a die hard Rockstar fan and a die hard comic book fan. Please release these. pretty please.

The guido stereotypes and best friend thing is a little cheesy. But all-in-all a good read and admirable character.

  @ Will the issues be available on the warehouse to buy? And will you do hardback copies?
- R* Aon July 15 2012, 10:45amReply
  @iLewisGTA As we said in last week's Asked & Answered, the issues themselves are for promotional use only - but we are investigating making a special graphic novel edition of all 3 in one for purchase. If that winds up happening, we will confirm here at the Newswire. Thank you.
