Games x Comics – Complimentary Mediums?
When: Today! September 17, 2020, 1pm PST
Where: PAX Online
Games and Comics have an overlapping audience in spite of their differences. Interactive vs. passive consumption, moving vs. static images – but what are the traits they share that draw people to both? What are some of the similarities and differences in how they can be used to tell their stories, and how can the two be used to boost each other within a franchise?
