When Games Become Comics

Posted by Zonk on from the four-colour-samus dept.

rorita writes "1UP.com has posted an entertaining overview of comic books derived from video games, spanning from Valiant's Nintendo Comics System to current-day projects like Studio Udon's Street Fighter. It's not quite comprehensive, but it should still inspire a nostalgic tear for anyone who remembers those old Nintendo Power comics." I have very fond recollections of the adventures of Nester and Howard in particular.

    There are plenty of good comics out there based on video games. But one that you should specifically avoid is the Mega Man comics from Dreamwave. They are the most terrible things ever.

    However, you definitely should check out Dreamwave's Transformers comics. Most of them are high quality.

    Let's not forget the Doom comic book. It's a good thing Doom guy is silent in the games and not treating us to his insanely lame brand of Duke Nukem style commentary.
