Starting a month of shows about the cross-over between comic books and video games on the Panel Borders radio show that first airs on ResonanceFM, Alex Fitch talks to web comics creator
Daniel Merlin Goodbrey about the latest examples of his experiments in interactive ‘hyper-comics’: including
Jack’s Abstraction, available on Android devices, and the forthcoming
A Duck, which allow comic strip readers to follow differing narrative paths in various directions on the virtual page.
Alex and Daniel also talk about other recent examples of the intersection between games and comics including
Batman: Arkham Asylum and
InFamous 2: The Fame Strips which he designed the flash interface for but were written by Pat Mills and Howard Marks to promote the PS3 game and feature a number of well-known celebrities - including Lady Gaga, Pippa Middleton, Justin Bieber , Lindsay Lohan (right) and Cheryl Cole - get some refreshingly satirical treatment.
The fantasy comic strips, which bring together seven of the world’s freshest comic artists, explore what would happen if some of the world’s favourite celebrities were integrated into the fantasy inFAMOUS world alongside characters of New Marais, allowing them to hold superpowers and the choice to change the world for better or worse.
