Wednesday Worlds of Wonder RESIDENT EVIL "Prologue"

You won't see Alice/Janus (Mila Jovovich) in this tale from 1996...
...since she was created for the film series in 2001!
But you will see characters from the video game, some of whom have since appeared in the movie universe!
BTW, this is a prequel to the first Resident Evil video game and was a promo given away at game stores along with a $5-off coupon for the game cartridge!
There's a superb post from Discomfort Food Comics about the creation of this book which can be found HERE!
Trivia: Bill Sienkiewicz did the game's cover which was reused for the comic, not the other way around!
Much like other creative properties that have spawned spinoffs in other media, there are different versions/universes of Resident Evil with the same basic concept, but each with it's own unique concept/plotlines/characters, specifically the video games (and their spinoffs) and the movies (and their spinoffs).
Just curious...which one do you prefer?

Tropico de Sangre (Minerva Mirabal)
Avatar (Trudy Chacon)
LOST (Ana-Lucia Cortez)
A Cat's Tale (Jujube)
