Comics apps. Second take

I’m going back to the question ‘Do you like comics?’ reverting to the subject of the recent blog-post ‘Comics Apps To Trend?’. You might probably ask me why do I rake over old ashes or blabber on this subject again. And I will probably give you a “because” answer indistinctly Because I like comics.

One more curious iPhone/iPad app I came across on weekend, made me continue this comics epic. The most interesting thing about it is that it combines both a game and a comic book and promises about 4 hours of involvement. Actually this is pure truth

“The story is co-written and drawn by the studio that’s responsible for the Oscar nominated animation films The Triplets of Belleville and The Secret of Kells. Screens are colored by Raymund Lee, famous for his work on Marvel’s Wolverine series”.

(from iTunes description)

Some famous names there, huh?

The art-work is amazing, that’s true. The game is a bit slow, but there’s also a positive side about it – you won’t finish it off at a stretch and can prolong the experience.

The gameplay is enriched with a beautifully drawn comic strips that take you deeper into the story line behind the gameplay that, definitely, makes the game deeper and even feels more interactive in some way. As you’re starting to somehow associate yourself with the main character (oh, I know it’s a monkey ) and wish it to succeed in it’s mission to make those militarists… oh, almost spoiled you the moment of investigating the plot yourself.

Ah, I haven’t mentioned its name yet. Drumroll….6th Planet by Monkube. You should definitely try it out. And if my words were not persuasive enough, maybe you should watch a game play video-review by AppSpy first:

And so..do YOU like comics?
