The BioWars team is currently\u00a0 hard at work developing our first mobile game, BioWars: Raze\u2019s Siege. Translating a story from the pages of a comic to the screen of a tablet or television can be grueling, but if done correctl,y gives\u00a0readers the opportunity to get a closer look into the characters they love. During our brainstorming\u00a0process, we considered what other\u00a0comics could\u00a0work well as a video game. Since the BioWars team is made up of die hard comic book fans, we\u00a0made a list of comics we’re hoping will\u00a0get a chance at their\u00a0own video game in the near future.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\"Valiant<\/div>\n

1.\u00a0 Harbinger (Action Adventure)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It\u2019s safe to say that if you\u2019re a fan of comics,\u00a0you’ve\u00a0most likely have dreamed\u00a0of developing\u00a0superpowers of your very own. Valiant\u2019s Harbinger<\/em> series plays devil\u2019s advocate by giving readers a look into what being a superpowered teen might be like. Following the adventures of Pete Stanchek, a boy with incredible psychic powers, Pete must use his gifts to protect his friends, fight against evil organizations, and discover the origins of his abilities.<\/p>\n

As a video game, we see a story like Harbinger working best as an Action Adventure game \u2013 Something that may play like a more mature version of\u00a0Psychonauts<\/a>. There is just something eternally\u00a0gratifying about being able to pick up enemies with your mind and fling them down\u00a0a hallway.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\"Image<\/div>\n

2. Saga (Storyteller)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Image\u2019s flagship Saga<\/em> <\/a>series attempts to take a more humanistic approach to the Sci-Fi genre. Centered on the inter-species relationship of Alana & Marko, the pair find themselves on the run from an intergalactic war, while trying to keep their newborn child safe from harm.<\/p>\n

Although Saga has plenty of action, we\u2019d prefer a Saga video game to play more closely to a\u00a0story driven adventure \u2013 similar to Telltale\u2019s The<\/em> Wolf Among Us<\/em><\/a>, or Tales from the Borderlands<\/em><\/a>. With such a rich set of characters and deep universe, creating a game with such a strong narrative where the player\u2019s decisions could affect the world around them would be a true treat.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\"Marvel's<\/div>\n

<\/strong><\/h2>\n

3. The Runaways (RPG)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Sometimes, running away from all of your problems may seem like an excellent idea. For the teens of Marvel\u2019s The Runaways<\/a>,\u00a0<\/em>running away from their problems became a question of life and\u00a0death. After discovering that their parents are actually\u00a0their city’s most notorious supervillain group, the teens band together and escape from their homes to plot to bring down their families. Outfitted with a witch, an alien, a mutant, a dinosaur, and much more, the teens quickly realize that by relying on each other they are a force to be reckoned with.<\/p>\n

With each Runaway character bringing something unique to the table, The Runaways<\/em> feels like it could be easily adapted into an RPG (Role Playing Game). Aside from each of the character\u2019s special skills and abilities, one of the most gripping aspects of the series is the interactions, and relationships that occur between the members of the team, one of the crowning features of any good RPG.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\"Webcomic<\/div>\n

4. Agents of the Realm (Mobile App)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Relatively\u00a0new to the digital comic book scene, Agents of the Realm<\/a> is a popular webcomic that stars a group of 5 college-aged girls, that are gifted with supernatural powers. Similar\u00a0to a\u00a0supergroup of astrological proportions, the girls must team up to defend their world from an otherworldly force bent on destroying the Earth as they know it.<\/p>\n

With\u00a0Agent of the Realm\u2019s east “pick up and read” nature, a mobile gaming app feels like the most appropriate channel for the series. Giving readers the ability to jump in as their favorite character, fight against villains, and save the day on their commute to work seems like an easy sell.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\"The<\/div>\n

<\/strong><\/h2>\n

5. The Walking Dead (MMORPG)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If you\u2019ve been living under a rock for the last several years, you might have missed the phenomenon that is The Walking Dead<\/em><\/a>. For those of you who haven\u2019t been following, Image\u2019s The Walking Dead<\/em> follows a ragtag group of survivors of a zombie apocalypse. The wildly successful comic has spawned a television series on AMC, board games, merchandise, and several video games. While we are big fans of the majority of the games, we have always walked away from The Walking Dead<\/em> wanting something more.<\/p>\n

If you ask any fans of the series, they\u2019ll tell you that The Walking Dead isn\u2019t necessarily about fighting against zombies, but the nature of humanity in the wake of tragedy. With groups being so vital to surviving in a world littered with the undead, it seems like the perfect setting for an MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game). Teaming up with online friends seems like the perfect way to survive the zombie threat, and might even teach you one or two things for when the zombie apocalypse actually occurs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
