| '''''Assassin's Creed''''' is a series of comic books split into several volumes, originally published in French for [[Canada]] and [[France]]. While the original volume was primarily based on the storyline of ''[[Assassin's Creed]]'' and ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'' - though notably different - the second and third issues shifted their focus to a completely original storyline based on the characters [[Aquilus]] and [[Accipiter]], while also borrowing elements from ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''.
| |
| | |
| So far, five volumes have been released: ''[[Assassin's Creed 1: Desmond]]'', ''[[Assassin's Creed 2: Aquilus]]'', ''[[Assassin's Creed 3: Accipiter]]'', ''[[Assassin's Creed 4: Hawk]]'' and ''[[Assassin's Creed 5: El Cakr]]''.

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *While the first comic shared enough discrepancies with the games to suggest it wasn't canon to the series, the second comic, 'Aquilus' was confirmed by [[Ubisoft]] to be part of the ''Assassin's Creed'' universe, both in the Universe video and in the Encyclopedia. However, the third comic, 'Accipiter' did not seem to be part of the canon; while it had some similarities to ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'' it was a completely original story with no references to [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]]'s time in [[Rome]], and with the [[modern times|modern-day]] [[Assassins]] searching for the [[Ankh]] instead of [[Ezio's Apple of Eden]].
| |
| **A major contradiction of the first comic was that [[Clay Kaczmarek|Subject 16]] was alive. Official guidebooks for ''Assassin's Creed'' stated that [[Abstergo Industries|Abstergo]]'s [[doctors]] "were too late to save him" after he cut a vein to produce the [[Cryptic Messages|messages]] seen by [[Desmond Miles]] through [[Eagle Vision]] and it was explicitly stated by [[Alexandre Amancio]] that Subject 16 was physically dead. [[Lucy Stillman]] appeared to act uncaring towards him and was irritated by his presence later in the first comic, which contradicted greatly to the visible guilt and grief she showed about him during the games. While the original French edition of the first volume gave his name as "Michael," the English translation changed it to "Clay."
| |
| **Another point that differed from the games was that the [[Apples of Eden]] were called "Spheres."
| |
| **The drawings shown in Desmond's room bore no resemblance to those of the game.
| |
| **The progression into ''Assassin's Creed II'''s main events via the modern-day Assassins and [[Animus]] greatly differed, some characters being entirely omitted as of the first comic.
| |
| **There was also a contradiction in that Aquilus' memories were relived after his child's conception, even to the point of his own death — something that genetic memory constraints shouldn't allow.
| |
| **Lucy is depicted as a very different character in this series then she is in the games. For one point she showed a much colder side rather than the calm and empathetic personality that she displayed in the games to the point that Desmond jokingly called her Ice Queen, though she did lighten up as the series progressed developing into a character much closer to that of the games. Her feelings for Desmond were also less ambiguous than they were in the games, with the two actually kissing at one point. Lucy was also shown to not be a [[Templars|Templar]] triple agent like in the games and was in fact nearly killed while trying to protect Desmond when the Templars found them in [[Monteriggioni]].
| |
| **[[Stella Crow]] is the leader of the Assassin Order, not [[William Miles]], as she is the one who gives out assignments and sends [[Jonathan Hawk]] to Lucy's team.
