After Pocket God, Doodle Jump and Angry Birds, we have another super-popular mobile game getting its own comic book – Cut the Rope. As you can imagine, the upcoming comics will feature Om Nom, exploring the character’s yet untold backstory while building upon his in-game adventures.
However, it’s important to add these comics won’t come in print — rather, ZeptoLab’s partner Ape Entertainment will release them as digital comic books in the form of a mobile app. The first such application will be released in Apple’s AppStore in late August.
ZeptoLab unveiled its plans for a digital comic book at the Comic-Con International 2011, soon after announcing the forthcoming update for Cut the Rope and Om Nom plush toys.
Commenting on the news, Ape Entertainment’s CEO David Hedgecock said: “It’s an amazing opportunity to work with ZeptoLab on one of the app world’s most addictive and successful games. The comic book series is shaping up beautifully and we are making something that we know fans of Cut the Rope and fans of good entertainment everywhere are going to absolutely love!”
