Starting in the January issue (#164) of Nintendo Power magazine is a Metroid Prime comic series. The artwork, by Dark Horse Comics, is superb -- far superior to the old Super Metroid NP comics by Benimaru Itoh. The first installment is 9 pages, but we don't know how many parts will run. NP subscribers also get a free Super Smash Bros. Melee orchestral soundtrack CD performed by the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra (the same disc which was included with an issue of Famitsu in Japan months ago), which includes one Metroid track.
