Zynga launches Mafia Wars 2 digital comic

Mafia Wars 2 is expected to have a much more engrossing story than its predecessor, and to prove it Zynga has released a free digital comic set in the game’s crime-filled universe.

In order to access the comic, which can be found here, you’ll need to first “Like” the game on Facebook and then link the comic to your Facebook account, much like you would do with a game.

The comic was created by Toronto-based studio Udon, best known for creating comics and art books based on Capcom properties. Over eight pages it reveals some of the characters from the world, who will presumably show up in the game, and how they fit into the Las Vegas criminal underworld.
