IDW Publishing is releasing a four-issue comic book mini-series this November to follow the release of Borderlands 2.

Copies of the game, which hit stores on September 18, will include an insert ad about the comic, called Borderlands: Origins. Mikey Neumann (writer of Borderlands) will pen the series, and Augustin Padilla (Bruce Wayne: The Road Home: Oracle) will provide artwork:

“Roland.” For the millions and millions of fans of the smash-hit video game BORDERLANDS, a lingering question exists: how did the Vault Hunters get on the bus with Marcus in the first place? Find out how Roland got on the bus with Mordecai, Lilith, and Brick in this exciting look at the soldiers of the Crimson Lance and what made him leave their ranks and search for the Vault. Surprises abound in the first part of a four-issue series chronicling where Borderlands began!

The first issue will be 32 pages long and cost $3.99. Ray Dillon will contribute a variant cover.
