Epic has revealed an exclusive Gears of War 2 pre-order deal with Blockbuster, offering a free copy of the upcoming Gears of War comic to those that pre-order the highly anticipated title from the rental giants .

The comic, which is written by GoW2 writer Joshua Ortega, bridges the gap between the end of the first game and the beginning of the second, revealing what exactly happened after the Lightmass Bombing.

Blockbuster’s version of the comic also comes with an exclusive cover (pictured below), so if you’re a Gears fanatic and live in the US, get yourself down there.

There’s no word yet on whether the offer will be available here in the UK.

Gears of War 2 ships exclusively on Xbox 360 on November 7th.
