Sequential Spike Deaths: Jordan Mechner Reveals Prince Of Persia Graph Novel
Mark Siegel is editor of classy comic publisher First Second Books (American Born Chinese). Dude loves the original Prince of Persia games. Thing is, he's not much of a gamer, so he didn't know about the new games, or the new movie, and just fronted up to series creator Jordan Mechner with an idea for a Prince of Persia graphic novel. Surprisingly, Mechner didn't have to reply with a bunch of crap about licensing deals and copyright and trademarks and whatnot. He just went "OK", and the two decided to come up with a brand new PoP story. They've even got a writer for the project. No names yet, but he is under orders:
His mandate was to take Prince of Persia back to the mythic roots of the story, and I think Prince of Persia game fans will be really surprised when they see it. Hopefully they'll like it for giving them something that's deeper and stranger than they would expect from a graphic novel based on a video game.All of this, every last bit, sounds good. Be in touch guys.
