Excitement filled our offices yesterday as Kazu Kibuishi delivered his final cover painting for Flight Seven. I love the Flight covers and every year its like Christmas morning when Kazu turns in his cover painting. In fact, Flight is a lot of Christmas mornings as I get the same giddy feeling when each artist submits their final stories. Flight Seven will be available in summer 2010 but you should check out the other six volumes if you haven’t had the chance to yet.
In other exciting news, Michel Gagné has teamed with FuelCell to create an animated game called Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet. The game looks amazing and has an old school Defender and Asteroids sort of feel to it. But the real thrill is seeing Michel’s creations brought to life in stunning animation. Flight fans will thrill to this, as will casual video game players. Here’s the amazing trailer for the game!
Oh man I cannot wait until next summer. Flight collections are a real treat for the eye (and for the imagination). That game trailer is gorgeous! And very Gagné. Which is a good thing. I'm saving money to buy a pass to attend the SDCC again next summer and I hope to see a lot of the Flight gang there again.
And just to add a little more info to the pot, there's no news yet as to what platforms this game will be out on. You can read an interview that covers that topic and more here: http://www.joystiq.com/2009/09/29/interview-joe-olson-on-insanely-twisted-shadow-planet/
That cover really does look gorgeous!
