PlanetSide 2 Creative Director Matthew Higby just announced that legendary comic writer Marv Wolfman is working with the team on the re-imagining of the game's lore. Wolfman also helped craft the story for Sony Online Entertainment's DC Universe Online.

Wolfman has been a staple at both Marvel and DC Comics since the late 1960s. He created Nova and Blade for Marvel in the '70s, as well as co-created the Black Cat. In the '80s, Wolfman returned to DC, which is where his career initially began, and penned the famous Crisis on Infinite Earths mini-series. He also launched the New Teen Titans and co-created Raven, Starfire and Cyborg with artist George Perez, as well as wrote for the recent Teen Titans animated series that lasted five seasons. Wolfman even created Tim Drake, the third Robin.

Higby said they're re-imagining PlanetSide's lore because they "want to bring more depth and focus on to the story of what Auraxis is, how humanity discovered it, how they were stranded there, and ultimately how all hell broke loose and the epic unending battle for supremacy began." SOE plans to release the first three chapters of the PlanetSide 2 story on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of this week.
