Fund This: Code Monkey Save World
Hey, fellow geeks! Just want to make sure you knew about Code Monkey Save World, winding down the final hours of its Kickstarter campaign. The project is a graphic novel collaboration based on the songs of popular internet singer-songwriter Jonathan Coulton, written by our friend Greg Pak, and drawn by Takeshi Miyazawa. It's already successfully met its fundraising goal many times over, so this is your chance to get in on this.
Code Monkey Save World got started when Greg sent a tweet to his old college friend Jonathan Coulton about writing a supervillain team-up comic based characters from his music. They crafted the tale of Code Monkey, the put-upon coding monkey from the eponymous Coulton song, as he teams up with the lovelorn supervillain from Coulton's song "Skullcrusher Mountain." They have adventures.
Here's the video with some more details:
This is going to be awesome. Pledge gifts include the graphic novel in multiple formats, as well as the official soundtrack, and plenty of other goodies. This is a super awesome geek project through and through. For further information about Code Monkey Save World, and to make a pledge, head over to Kickstarter.
