Among the wealth of comic Kickstarter campaigns, tucked neatly between the oddly-drawn cover pages of another sixty-day fundable project, lies the concept for
The Pseudoverse. I find it interesting because it follows a new wave of adventure thinking most popularly displayed in animated series such as
Adventure Time with Finn & Jake and
The Regular Show.
What makes these shows, and this comic, unique is that they are not held to any steadfast rules within the realm of their fiction. In fact, on several occasions, I've been pretty sure they were just flying by the seat of their pants.
Growing up,
Rocko's Modern Life and
Ren & Stimpy were about as wild as cartoon concepts could get, or so we thought. All these years later, the minds of my children's animated series creators are coming up with constant universe rule changes, adventures to odd worlds within worlds, simple games leading to planetary destruction, and super brain drinks that boost your intelligence so much you can no longer understand regular people. The nonsensical comic novel
Pseudoverse is nestled somewhere in this genre and, like the animated series my kids watch these days, I thought it was pretty funny myself.
Take a look at the free epilogue for
Pseudoverse below, and if you have time when it's over, tell me what you think about it in the Comments section downstairs!
Per the campaign -
"Pseudoverse: Epilogue
is an all new mind-blowing sci-fi graphic novel experience with motion, sound effects, and full audio."
