Different, definitely different....
Caught this one from being on the e-mail list of Jessian Press. Had to go and check it out.
The story is what makes this graphic novel very different. I was born in 1971 and remember watching some of the old Westerns. The Chimp with the Brown Hat's story definitely shows a lot of research (and possible very long hours) into Western TV and movies.
It also reminded me of more modern movies that crossed science fiction with western genres (Wild Wild West / Will Smith). Scrolling down the story part of the Kickstarter definitely makes me want to know what is going to happen. How the town and chimp are not only going to triumph over traditional old west villains, but also space worms! You did read that correctly.
My main curiosity lies in this aspect. The story and plot can go in 1 of 2 directions. The first? Going so far beyond any belief / credibility that you would not even come close to finishing the novel. The second? It has such an immersion factor, you don't stop reading and are constantly craving more! I really don't see a middle ground on this one.
Wrapping this one up with the Rewards. I like the direction Mr. Gold has taken here. Offering a lot more on the physical side. There is one where you can be included in the novel. Plus, the lowest level is a pdf file (digital only on my end).
This is one, just for the story / plot alone I have to highly recommend! Writing this and I still want to know what is going to happen!
