Marvel Spider-Man Miles Morales The Art Of The Game

Several years back when Marvel Comics introduced Miles Morales as an alternate reality Spider-Man, after Peter Parker was slain, fan reaction was mixed.

Some loved the idea of a different Spider-Man, some did not.

Those that loved it won out and Miles Morales has become a hot hit.  Along the way an entire gambit of alternate realities (dubbed the Spider-Verse) populated by various Spider-Men and Women has been introduced.

Miles Morales continues to gain in popularity and as a result he starred in his own computer animated movie, has his own comic book series, showed up on TV and it appears a live action character of Miles will soon premiere in movies.

Recently a new Miles Morales Spider-Man video game has popped up and fans of Miles and video gamers are thrilled by its complexity, amazing graphics, and fleshed out characters and great storyline.

Titan Books and author Matt Ralphs present the Marvel Spider-Man Miles Morales The Art Of The Game book that is so jam-packed with color art that it will make your head spin.  Talk about eye candy!

Inside readers (and especially video game lovers) are treated to character designs (good guys and bad guys), various environments, equipment, scenarios, concept and completed art and so much more.

Pages are brimming with beautiful art and screen captures, action scenes and everything else associated with designing such a massive and complicated video game world.

We tend to take video games for granted but the amount of work that goes into a video game such as this is massive.  Every single element from something as simple as a blade of  grass to cityscapes must be designed from scratch.

Imagination is number one in designing such a game.  A huge staff of video game designers, programmers, artists, mappers, lighting experts, engineers, architectural artists and dozens of other highly skilled artists and technicians made Marvel Spider-Man Miles Morales The Art Of The Game possible.

Beautifully designed with a gorgeous Spider-Man in action rendering on its slip cover, the oversize hardbound book stars one of the world’s most recognizable superheroes but it also showcases the incredible scoop of creating this video game and gives credit to those who made it possible.

The amount of detail is amazing, as is every facet of this game.  

As a graphic designer I can't help but to be impressed by the game and by the book that chronicles its creation.
