Breaking with the tradition of franchising popular comics by producing their video games, Capcom and D.C. Comics are teaming up to do the reverse.

The titles set to be immortalized in ink and paper are the best selling series': Resident Evil, and Devil May Cry.

We're quite used to seeing comic and graphic novel heroes and protagonists make their way onto our entertainment systems, but it's not so common to see our jumping, dodging, fighting and shooting entertainments break free of the console. Console to film transitions have been made with mixed successes. Some examples are Resident Evil, Street Fighter, and Mortal Kombat. Console to legitimate comic? I can't think of any (fan fiction doesn't count here, sorry).

From the TED.com site: "TED began in 1984 as a conference devoted to the converging fields of technology, entertainment and design. Over the years, the scope has broadened. But the formula remains the same: Gather the world's leading thinkers and doers; offer them four days of rapid-fire stimulation. The result? Unexpected connections. Extraordinary insights. Powerful inspiration."
