Comics and Videogames offers the first comprehensive study of the many interfaces shaping the relationship between comics and videogames. It combines in-depth conceptual investigations of hybridity and transmedia storytelling with a rich selection of paradigmatic case studies from contemporary media culture.

The book gathers a distinguished group of international scholars working at the interstices of comics studies and game studies to explore two interrelated areas of inquiry: The first part of the book focuses on hybrid medialities and experimental aesthetics "between" comics and videogames; the second part zooms in on how comics and videogames function as transmedia expansions within an increasingly convergent and participatory media culture. The individual chapters address synergies and intersections between comics and videogames via a diverse set of case studies ranging from independent and experimental projects via popular franchises from the corporate worlds of DC and Marvel to the more playful forms of media mix prominent in Japan.

Offering an innovative intervention into a number of salient issues in current media culture, this book will be of interests to scholars and students of comics studies, game studies, media, popular culture, transmedia studies and visual culture studies.
