Video games and comics play co-op

The mesh of comics and video games has been on the rise recently. Between the resounding success of the Arkham series — with the third installment coming later this year — and a slew of others entering the ring, it’s easy to see how the two worlds would mix.

Game programmer and student Anthony Ramirez, and Creative Director and Co-Owner of Miscreant Studios, Hank Garcia, were able to talk over phone. San Luis Obispo GameStop manager Emily Hern was able to speak in person.

Together, they paint a quick picture of how the two worlds mesh together. While each were optimistic about the relationship — each citing Injustice: Gods Among Us as a prime example — they warn that the intricacies of different hero’s backgrounds can be difficult to translate.

The extra sound comes from samplings collected from Injustice.
