HotD: Overkill graphic novel available with US pre-orders
Posted by Graham. Filed under Europe, G, News, Nintendo Wii. Tagged with America, Graphic Novel, House of the Dead, Overkill, Pre-order.
A few days ago we reported on the announcement that PAL Wii owners would be in for a treat, with the limited edition House of the Dead: Overkill pack, which comes with a special graphic novel, based upon the game.
Many of you US owners were (understandably) upset with the news that the graphic novel would not make it to American shores. But the good news is that Sega has confirmed that it will in fact be arriving, but in a slightly different way.
More information and press release after the break.
The PAL release of the graphic novel is included in the limited edition pack, but US owners will only be able to obtain the graphic novel as a pre-order bonus from certain retailers; GameStop, GameCrazy and Amazon.com, and there will be limited supplies - it’s a “while stocks last” situation.
Press Release
The House of the Dead: OverkillTM - Exclusive Graphic Novel Pre-Order Offer!
House of the Dead fans - today is your day. We’re happy to announce that if the spine tingling, blood curdling, flesh eating carnage that if The House of the Dead: Overkill is not enough to satiate your zombie needs, then we’re upping the ante with an exclusive graphic novel as a special pre-order item you can only receive when you pre-order this next chapter in the House of the Dead franchise.
This special pre-order offer will be available soon from GameStop, GameCrazy and Amazon.com (while supplies last).
“Prelude to an OVERKILL” tells the fateful stories of Agent Washington and Varla Gunns, on the night before the violent and shocking events of the game take place. Illustrated by Steve Copter, of dissident punk band ‘Black Mekon’ (www.myspace.com/blackmekon), this specially-commissioned comic is only available for those who pre-order the game.
So for all you US House of the Dead-loving Wii owners, you had better pre-order the game as quickly as possible!

Don’t worry Graham, sometimes you can find one with square-shaped nipples. It’s a rare sight though. Be sure to take pictures and make them related to Sega so you can post them here!

If you pre-order from GameStop, don’t expect to actually get the graphic novel. I never got my art book for pre-ordering Valkyrie Chronicles, but I didn’t make a big thing of it, because I was too excited to bring it home and try it.

Yeah my Gamestop does the same, they don’t give me the pre-order swag EVER. They probably keep it and ebay it.

I was thinking that too, or they don’t ever get it in the first place. Once they get their money, they don’t care whether you are happy or not.

You know how when you grab a woman’s breast… it feels like… a bag of sand.
