I’m writing a post about something that was blogged by Momus, and suddenly I feel like it’s 2004. But no, it’s 2016, and I just came across his review of Yuichi Yokoyama’s latest manga, Iceland. The piece goes beyond said book, and does a great job of describing what is so interesting about Yokoyama’s work. But I don’t think you even really need to try and take in his work at that level — the graphic energy found in his books is reason enough to pick them up.
I love the Costume Quest games from Double Fine dearly, and I’m a big fan of Zac Gorman’s work. Combine the two for a graphic novel? Yeah, this is a really great book that tells an original story based on the world and characters from the games. If you like the games, you’ll absolutely love the book. It’s also so great that this project was apparently born after Zac produced a wonderful 4-panel comic strip based on the game, that Double Fine loved. I’d really love for them to produce another book, or to even turn it into a series.
