Inhalt/e
Comics have attracted more and more attention in mainstream culture. As a result, the estimated market size of the medium in North America has doubled since 1997. One reason for this growing interest in the medium is, without a doubt, the success of cinematic adaptations of comic books. However, videogames have experienced an even bigger boom in popularity in recent years. Indeed, global games revenues are continually growing and, by now, are larger than those of the movie and recording industry combined. In this class we will investigate the influence the medium comics has on videogames in terms of aesthetics, narrative, and mechanics.
