Games are the next comics
In the last few months, graphic novels have appeared sporadically in the pages of the New York Times’s Book Review (e.g., 1, 2), and have been given their own bestseller list online. More amazing still, a multi-panel comic appeared in the Book Review not as subject, but as a method for reviewing a book. The Grey Lady is conservative in its style and content, so this, to me, seems a watershed moment. Something has changed to make cultured people think of comics as a legitimate artistic medium. I think the same will happen to games.
