Colin from GamingUnion.net wrote that Ubisoft has announced a new mini-comic series for the Assassin’s Creed franchise which is set to be unveiled at a Comic Con panel this year on July 22. The panel is titled “Assassin’s Creed: Behind and Beyond the Brotherhood” and will shed some light on both the comic as well as Ubisoft’s upcoming Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood, set for release this Fall.

“We are excited to have the fantastic and acclaimed artists Cameron Stewart and Karl Kerschl working on the project. Ubisoft is looking forward to showing Assassin’s Creed fans what these talented artists have been up to at next week’s Comic-Con panel.”

Here’s a short teaser for the comic book series. Judging by this video, I think it’s safe to assume that the comic book will take place in Russia – a new place for characters.
