Title: Captain Pixel (GN) Publisher: Arcana Studio Writer: Maciej Prozalski Art: Maciej Prozalski Script: Shawn DePasquale Letters: Shawn DePasquale Price: $ 14.95 US Rating: 4 out of 5 stars Website: www.arcana.com Comments: One weird strange looking guy in a suit is shown or is it a suit? Captain Pixel he is called. A polar bear finds him and the two want to get out of the nothingness they seem to be trapped in. They get out and go to another strange place with lots of ships. From the way the creatures talk they are part of a program inside a computer. The art style is cute. The various creatures are all well illustrated in this unique style. The computer and program talk increases as the story goes along. Our two stars are joined by their creator, Adobus who also wants to escape being deleted. On their adventure they face some really scary monsters. Captain Pixel and Polar Bear are always running and falling. As the two continue on they encounter all sorts of odd characters. Their adventure continues. This is one weird story with art to match. It is definitely something different.
