Which makes for a rather wonderful way to portray sign language…. Nonplayer returns in a cacophony of visuals delights, as we lift the bonnet on everything we saw, all those years ago in issue 1, under an Invincible T-shirt to remind ourselves exactly where we are… get ready to lose yourself again. If you thought Darth[...]

Descender #1 is also sold out and going to second printing and, just in time for the second issue, the long out of print Nonplayer #1 goes to a third[...]

Nonplayer #2 has been a long time coming Originally planned for May 2011, it makes even Brilliant #6 look timely. And it is finished, I can confirm that, I have been sent a copy, I will be reading with much gusto Nate Simpson's gorgeously detailed separation of worlds into real and gaming life was utterly addictive[...]

Hmm. But for a really late comic, you have to look for Nonplayer #2 Issue #1 was published in April 2011, sold out, got signed up to be a movie and rocketed in value. Well, creator Nate Simpson has told us that this long awaited second issue is finished and will likely be solicited to come out in[...]

It was called Nonplayer It was amazing and it looked like this. And this. Heavy underordered for this Geof Darrow/Moebius/Chris Ware smash up of gaming and real life, the first issue soon started selling on eBay for $50. But then issue 2 was late Very late Then Nate Simpson was in a bicycle accident and broke things[...]

The likelihood of more issues of Nonplayer from Nate Simpson is up in the air.

That honour, by a league, goes to Nonplayer from debut comics creator Nate Simpson. Just as Fear Itself exists on two levels, an above and a below, so Nonplayer literalises that divide, between gameplay and real life But manages to do so in such a thrilling and disparate fashion that it overwhelms what might be (and[...]
