Watch Battleborn Three-Part Prequel Comic Series Here

With just a week to go before the launch of Borderlands developer Gearbox Software's Battleborn, 2K Games and Gearbox today announced and launched a prequel motion comic series for the game.

The three-part series is set before the events of the game and sets up the story for the episodic campaign. The comic series tells the story of how the second to last star in the universe, Penarch, came to be destroyed and more.

"Witness Trevor Ghalt's heroic rise as leader of The Battleborn, as an unlikely alliance between the universe's greatest heroes becomes the last line of defense for a universe on the brink of extinction," reads a line from the description.

Below are all three videos, as well as descriptions for them.

Battleborn launches on May 3 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. At PAX East this weekend, it was announced that Battleborn DLC is coming to Rock Band 4. We also learned that Battleborn's DLC will include Easter eggs for Borderlands 3.
