Comics publisher Dark Horse, which released the bestselling 2010 prose novel Mogworld by popular rapid-fire videogame reviewer Yahtzee Croshaw, is publishing the first chapter of Jam, a sequel, in the new digital edition of Mogworld. The Mogworld e-book edition is available now on the Nook and Kobo e-reading platforms.
Croshaw is the comic and fast-talking reviewer behind the Zero Punctuation Reviews, a popular feature on The Escapist, a website specializing in videogame and web comics reviews and other content focused on pop culture. Mogworld is a prose novel set in a multi-player online role-playing game and the central character is actually a minor character in the game.
Jam, Crowshaw’s followup to Mogworld, manages to come up with a new twist on the end-of-the-world prophecies of the Mayans when a group of twenty-something slackers find themselves face to face with the apocalypse. The complete prose version of Jam will be published in print in October, but Dark Horse is offering fans a sneak preview of the prose work with an excerpted chapter in the digital edition of Mogworld.
“You asked for it—by Christ have you been asking for it—and it's finally here, the Mogworld e-book” said Croshaw. “Now I just have to stop procrastinating on the audiobook version.”
