Castlevania Comic to be Released Soon

Gamegossip has the word that IDW Publishing, the same folks who do the Silent Hill and Metal Gear comics, will be releasing a Castlevania comic book in March. The comic is to be entitled Castlevania: The Belmont Legacy 01. From the article: "It is 1576, and the legend of the Belmont family's vampire-hunting prowess still echoes through the Romanian countryside. While Christopher Belmont celebrates his nuptials, dark forces conspire to raise Count Dracula from his unholy slumber. With this ancient evil unleashed once more, young Belmont must to prove he is worthy of the Belmont legacy."

At least they have a track record for putting out some good stuff. Hope they're up to Castlevania. I'm looing forward to it.

Comic?

Although the "MATURE READERS This title is recommended for readers over the age of 18" is promising, am I the only one that thinks this should be in manga format?

That's what you have Hellsing for

Are their existing works any good at all?

Maybe someone that has actually read through a few of the Silent Hill and Metal Gear comics could let the rest of us know about the quality. It's obvious that they are going with a theme here (comics based on video games that already have a story, characters, etc, established) so I'm curious as to how good these comics actually are. I mean, it sure seems like the easy way out. Wouldn't it be much more creative to design your own characters from scratch...or is this just easy money?
