Homestuck was created by Andrew Hussie in 2009. The hybrid webcomic includes webcomics, chat logs, music, animation, and gifs, and currently consists of more than 8,000 online pages. The coming-of-age story revolves around a group of friends who play a video game and trigger the apocalypse. Their only hope is to work together to create a new universe by beating the game. The hardcover edition of Homestuck will include page-by-page commentary by Hussie. Release is planned for early 2018.
The news came with the launch of What Pumpkin Games’ Hiveswap: Act 1 adventure video game, which was funded by a Kickstarter campaign in October 2012 which raised $2,485,506 from 24,346 backers ($102.09/backer average). The point-and-click adventure involves exploration and interaction with the game’s environment.Popular Hybrid Webcomic Collected by VIZ
