The trend continues. Nintendo announced today that they have joined up with Penny Arcade to create a comic for The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword! Starting today, the first of five weekly comic panels will appear on Zelda’s comic site. Even if you’re not a comic book/Penny Arcade fan (what is wrong with you?) you should definitely check this out.
“I was 14 when I first played The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past,” said Penny Arcade artist Mike Krahulik. “That was 20 years ago, and today I am introducing my son to The Legend of Zelda. The opportunity to work with Nintendo to create a Zelda comic is not only an incredible honor, but quite literally a childhood dream come true.” –Press
Is it me, it is it about time these companies just went all in on a full fledge comic series. I mean, Resident Evil, Tomb Raider, and Gears of War (to name a few) all had their own series. These little teasers are just…well, teasers! Who wouldn’t love to get a Legend of Zelda graphic novel?
