The first issue of Frontlines: Requiem now has a product page on Amazon, where you can pre-order it if you are so inclined:
And if you’d like to preview some of the content, Fanboy Comics has one up on their page:

I’m very excited about this project and happy with the way it turned out. I came up with the storyline, Ivan Brandon wrote the script, Gary Erskine did the artwork, and Yel Zamor did the colors.
It’s never quite possible to fully translate a story from a written medium to a visual one and have 100% fidelity because you have various artists bringing in their own visions and ideas. But Requiem is very, very close to the way that world looks in my head. It’s a great addition to the Frontlines universe, not just because it tells a new story from a different character’s point of view and shows that every faction in the story has its own motivations and reasons for what they do, but also because it finally gives readers concrete visual references. (“What do the Lankies look like? Will there be Lankies in the graphic novels?” is a question I get frequently. Yes, there will be, and the reveal is pretty bad-ass.) You will see SI troopers in armor, NAC capital ships, Lanky seed ships…and yes, finally the big, bad Lankies.
So that’s coming out in may, which is great timing, because CHAINS OF COMMAND is coming out in April, so you’ll be able to get your hands on new Frontlines stuff two months in a row. And having seen the finished issue #1 of REQUIEM, I can tell you that you’re in for a ride.
Will these be available on ComiXology? My Kindle is a Paperwhite, and it’d be nice to view on a bigger, color, screen.
