Comics

Comics are an attribute of two types of video games. The first type is based on the setting, plot, and characters from graphic novels (comics). Often, such games are released to support a new Hollywood adaptation of the comic. The second type adopts the style and methods of storytelling from comics, but does not rely on any specific series.
