Trautmann also wrote a comic booklet included in the Limited Collector's Edition of Perfect Dark Zero, entitled Hong Kong Sunrise, which sets the scene for the game. It was released in six monthly issues from August 2006 to January 2007 and revolves around Joanna's attempts to unmask a mole in the Carrington Institute's Los Angeles office. The comic book series, Janus' Tears, was written by Eric Trautmann and illustrated by Cold FuZion Studios. According to Rucka: "If you've played the first game, you're going to get a huge treat, because a lot of stuff that happens in Perfect Dark, we set up in the novel". The novel also develops the character of Cassandra De Vries from the Nintendo 64 game to a greater degree. Since Rucka could not play Perfect Dark Zero while he was writing Initial Vector, the novel is self-contained and does not give away much of the game's story. It is set six months after the events of the game and portrays Joanna as an ex-bounty hunter drawn into the Carrington Institute's battle with dataDyne through her own vendetta against the big corporations. The first novel, Initial Vector, was written by Greg Rucka and released in 2005.
