NYC2123 - PSP Comic / Graphic Novel

Today Graeme put a comic on my psp, I get home today and check it out. It is great, mind blowing infact. Its called NYC2123. It is set in NYC 2123 AD.

Here is the second screen from the very first issue (#1 of 4) which explains the basic premise/beginnings/sets the scene.



It's great, the black/white illustrations are wonderfully put together. Created from captured photos of real life actors, scanned, manipulated, then drawn over the top. This method gives the comic a real authenticity and charm.

I love futuristic set movies and novels, anything which details future ways of life. You can read it and soak up all the new ideas based on emerging technologies and the authors predictions. Very stimulating. One thing which really stood out was the use of rating systems (Ebay - user feedback) used for everyone providing a service. In it a driver of a boat had a rating system of 98% based on customer feedback. This would be great for businesses and everyone to implement. The business providing a service would gain from having a high rating % wise(reputation in todays terms) because customers would know they would be guaranteed (based on averages) that they would be getting good service. This benefits both customer and business/service provider.

The Comic is formatted for the PSP (download set of ordered images. Save to PSP/PHOTO folder)
If you do not own a PSP you can view the comic online here: http://nyc2123.com

Definately worth checking out.
