'The Hunter' gets motion comic treatment

Dare Comics' The Hunter is to be adapted as a motion comic series by a US studio.

The Midlands publisher's debut offering will become a nine-issue digital book courtesy of production company PixoFactor Entertainment.

Written and created by Dare founder Adam Hamdy, the comic will also be given the video game treatment, and was previously optioned for the big screen by Scarlet Fire Entertainment.

"Motion comics are a 21st century art form that can be distributed through traditional media such as television or DVD, but are also ideal for the internet, wireless and handheld devices," Hamdy said.

"By developing a game that runs alongside The Hunter motion comic series, PixoFactor is taking this nascent art form a stage further and developing a truly unique experience for fans."

PixoFactor president Sean Hurwitz added: "The Hunter has a unique set of powers that have enabled us to incorporate some stunning gameplay. Linking the game to the motion comic series is going to allow us to do things the world has never seen before."

A release date for The Hunter motion comic is yet to be announced.
