SAN DIEGO, Calif. - July 14, 2005 - At Comic-con 2005, Electronic Arts

(NASDAQ: ERTS) announced today that acclaimed comic writer, Mark Millar,

and artist, Terry Dodson, will be joining the roster of top comic book

talent, including Jae Lee, on the development of Marvel Nemesis(tm):

Rise of the Imperfects(tm). Set to release this fall, the game features

multiple Super Heroes(tm) from the Marvel Universe as well as a new set

of characters created by EA called, "The Imperfects(tm)."

Millar's past works include the hit Marvel Comics' series, Ultimate

X-Men, The Ultimates, and Ultimate Fantastic Four, the highest-selling

comic launches in the year they were released. He is also currently

working on two major screenplays. EA is working closely with Millar to

create the back-stories for the new family of Super Heroes as well as

the story-line for the single player mode in the game.

"It's been an incredible experience to see this new family of Super

Heroes come to life from initial stages of character development to the

videogame screen," said Millar. "Videogames are not all about mashing

buttons anymore; they're filled with intriguing stories and memorable

characters. I'm thrilled to be a part of this project."

Dodson's credits include Marvel's X-Force, House of M and Marvel Knights

Spider-Man. Exclusive to the PSP version of Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the
