Comic artist Joe Madureira made a splash in the video game industry back in 2010, when his company Vigil Games developed Darksiders, a action game that combined God of War-like combat with puzzles and exploration that drew comparisons to the Zelda franchise.
In the game, players took on the role of War, one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse, who had been wrongfully accused of bringing about the end of the world. Joe Mad served as the creative director on the game, and his style was clearly evident in the look of Darksiders. The game was both a critical and commercial success, garnering great reviews and selling over one million copies.
This August, Darksiders II will be arriving, and this time around, Death is the lead character. The storyline will take place around the same time as the original game, and will see Death investigating who is behind the conspiracy to frame War for brining on the apocalypse.
