Grinding Gear Games and Dynamite Entertainment Team Up for Path of Exile Graphic Novel Series

WISH I COULD READ

Awesome!

Very cool!
I always tell (new) people to play slowly, read the story (although there is not that much) and dive into the dark world of Wraeclast. Nice to hear that there will be some more background stories.

22 pages is not that much, will they be free of charge? (except for shield-sharge of course)
At least it's nice promotion for both sides...

Are they going to include Desync on it?

Sure, implicit mod of every book: every time you turn a page.

In close collaboration with Grinding Gear Games' Creative Director Erik Olofsson and Narrative Designer Edwin McRae

Read?

"Close collaboration", is not equal to them writing it themselves... <_<

So far, GGG has not released any novellas, novels or long pieces of lore. This means we won't be seeing a change in writing "style" because we never saw a full fledged "style" in the first place.

If GGG handles the key plot line elements and lore items, the rest can be good or excellent, depending on the writers. If the writers are very well suited to PoE, they will drop into character and may be able to add some suggestions that continue GGG's vision and make the game even better.

One of the joys of a fully fleshed out character is that the character takes on a life of their own. You stop having to imagine dialogue and consider motives - the character does that for you, all you have to do is listen and write it down.

I think this is a great move for GGG.

Eh, not really my thing

awesome!

I wonder, will there be any fishing?

Congratz GGG!
That's a great way to expand PoE's aura.
Next step: release a nicely written novel! (Please hire Clark Ashton Smith ;) )

And the comic should be desync-free! Yeah!

Spread the love!

I'm excited to see how the world of wraeclast is interpreted in this medium.
