Mirror's Edge Comic Book

This press release announces plans for a DC Comics comic book based on
Mirror's Edge, DICE's upcoming action game: REDWOOD CITY,
Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--DICE, an Electronic Arts Inc. studio (NASDAQ:ERTS),
today announced that it is teaming up with WildStorm, an imprint of DC Comics,
the largest English-language comic book publisher in the world, to create an
exclusive, limited-edition Mirror’s Edge™ comic book. EA and DC Comics will
distribute the first issue of the Mirror’s Edge comic book series at Comic-Con
International in San Diego. The game will also be on display at booth #5233.

“This partnership with DC Comics sets the stage as readers explore Faith’s world
in Mirror’s Edge,” said Owen O’Brien, Senior Producer, DICE. “The unique graphic
style offered by the comic book genre is perfect for taking fans through her
back-story. Frame by frame, page by page, we’ll learn more about the events that
shaped both her and the city.”

Based on the upcoming Mirror’s Edge video game, the comic combines the talents
of writer and story designer Rhianna Pratchett with artist Matthew Dow Smith.
Pratchett is also responsible for crafting the intricate script for the game.
The six-part comic series will introduce readers to Faith and her fellow
‘Runners’ – a network of couriers who use acrobatic moves to avoid being
detected as they traffic packages across a network of rooftops and aerial
skyways.

“Rhianna and DICE have created an amazing game with a great backstory,” said
Hank Kanalz, Vice President/General Manager for WildStorm. “The characters have
really come alive in the game, and we are pleased that we will be able to add to
the canon of the Mirror’s Edge universe with this project.”

Mirror’s Edge is being developed at EA Digital Illusions CE AB (DICE) in
Stockholm, Sweden. This revolutionary new take on the first person action
adventure genre will ship this winter for the PLAYSTATION®3 computer
entertainment system, Xbox 360® videogame and entertainment system and for the
PC. This product is not yet rated by PEGI or ESRB. For more information on EA
