Over the past three God of War games we’ve gotten a nice look at why Kratos is so damn angry. Sure, he’s a warrior and a complete badass on the battlefield but he seems generally angry and a bit grumpy all the time. Yes, accidentally killing your wife & daughter and then being imbued with their ashes as a constant reminder will put a damper on anyone’s day but even after accepting that incident Kratos is still an angry man. Even despite bedding multiple hot Greek women at the same time Kratos is still an angry basterd who will disembowel anyone.
We may get a better ideal at why Kratos is so angry in the upcoming prequel comic book series being released by WildStorm Comics. The series promises to delve deep into the back-story of Kratos starting with his early years as a child and ultimately leading up to the current badass we all know and love. It’ll be nice to see how much the comic expands the back-story of Kratos and if we’ll see his ill-fated brother pop up at some point.
The first issue of the six part comic is slated to hit on March 31, a date that could signify that God of War 3 could be dropping on March 30 if Sony wanted to get their multimedia synergy going on. Comic legend Marv Wolfman (creator of Blade, writer on ReBoot) will be penning this new chapter of Kratos’ history which bodes well for the project.
So far this project has a lot of potential and WildStorm isn’t new to the video game comic arena as they’ve already published comics for Gears of War and Modern Warfare 2.
I just hope the comic ends with Kratos turning that frown upside down. Or maybe that'll happen at the end of God of War 3 after he kills everyone.

The story is much more vast and bigger Diego.Having played both games and Chains of Olympus,the story of Kratos and comp. can be stretched a bit more,as in Greek myth itself.As a fan of GoW ill be picking these comics up,while im at it might as well get the MW2 ones as well.
I would be dissapointed if you guys don't know why Kratos is like that. Refresh you memories and play the game, as I don't see any relevance to anything that happened before the events of the God of War I to his current anger.
