If you’re a user of Nintendo DSi, you may be interested to know that a comic book that has been specifically designed for the console that takes place at least partially on Route 66, reports Newsarama.com.
The comic is titled “Thunder Road #1,” and it has this description:
A high-action, wide-sweeping episodic pulp adventure by writer Sean Demory and illustrator Steven Sanders (Five Fists of Science).
SYNOPSIS: The bomb-ravaged American Heartland has been largely left out of the equation, falling prey to unchecked corporate land-barons and motorcycle-riding, nazidope-smoking MEF veterans ravaging the wastes. Some small towns have become fortresses, while others have followed the Soviet model and taken to the road, with clans roaming from one corp-compound to the next. Route 66, Interstate 70 and a dozen other superhighways have become the new frontier, where fortunes can be made with grit, cunning and a steady hand.
Welcome to the Thunder Road.
Sounds like an American version of “The Road Warrior.”
That comic and two others are launched by DSComics.com. The service is free. Users only need to open the Nintendo DSi browser and go to dscomics.com to to read the comics. The comics are Creative Commons licensed, which allows users to share and remix the comics.
