Back in August Infinity Ward announced a Modern Warfare 2 based comic called MW2: Ghost. Well now, just a matter of weeks before the much awaited game (and comic) hit the shelves, we can bring you a preview of the first issue.

DC/WildStorm – “In anticipation of the sequel to Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, WildStorm brings you a no-holds-barred, brutal tale of the mysterious Task Force 141 soldier known as Ghost.

Learning the motivation behind his mask and moniker is the tip of the iceberg in a story spanning the globe from the United Kingdom to war-torn Afghanistan to the drug war in Mexico.

Believe us, this will be talked about for years to come! Award-winning creator David Lapham (YOUNG LIARS, Stray Bullets) is joined by artist Kevin West in a shattering 6-issue tour-de-force epic!”

Yesterday the announcement came that there is a 6-part Modern Warfare 2 based comic series called MW2: Ghost in the works, along with a look at the cover art for the 1st issue. Today we can give you a sneak peak at an early sketch for the cover of the second issue – MW2: Ghost Issue 2.

We can also confirm that Federico Dallocchio is creating the covers with Kevin West doing the art. MW2: Ghost will tie in with the release of Modern Warfare 2.
