Comics as Video Games
December 21, 2009
Comics make great video games. The story AND the art are already there; now all we need is a little animation and BAM—comics that you control. It’s also not a huge leap to go to movies from there. Really the order is completely mixable; it doesn’t matter what kind of media comes out first because the same building blocks are always there and easily transferrable to one another. Of course there are the big dogs: Batman, X-Men, Mortal Combat, The Incredible Hulk … the list goes on. We’ve even thrown classic literature into the mix with “Dante’s Inferno” or our very own Kid Beowulf.
With all these different media for the same story, it makes it easy for readers/viewers/gamers/etc to get immersed into their chosen obsession, and for readers to become viewers, and for viewers to become gamers, until no one is confined to a single world anymore.
