Google’s Software Developer Comic

Google announced it’s own browser project (Google Chrome) with a comic by Scott McCloud.

It happens often, that in a conversation I try to evangelize people about the comic medium`s vast possibilities. Superheroes – bah! There is much more to it. Also, I was often thinking, how a comic about software development could look like (without mentioning Battlestar Galactica and/or Guitar Hero Darth Vader Edition).

Well, it seems the good folks over at google, had a similar idea and the result was this.

Very cool. I like Scott’s work, in this case it almost reminds me at Daniel Clowes, probably due to the reduced coloring. Scott seems to work almost entirely in illustrator (so I read), his last episode of understanding comics looked a bit dead because of this. This comic here looks much more vivid again. Kudos.
