Warren Ellis does see one very specific transferable ski𝓡ll, and one that’s been honed to perfection creating monthly peri🌌odical comics.

“It’s knowing when to stop. Whatever I put down is going to be interpreted♑ by twenty to a hundred peopleꦓ, really, who will add stuff on to it. So I have to step back, not load things down with masses of description and specific timing, and take more of an overview.”

The comic creators seem to h𓃲ave some very strong opinions on the games world aroun🍃d them. Andy Diggle is quite animated about it all:

“It bugs me that there’s so much flabby, under-dramatized, downright clichéd writing in games. The endless, dreadful dialogue scenes in the Metal Gear Solid games make me want to shoot the TV - which is a shame, because I love the gameplay,” he says. “The Grand Theft Auto games on the other hand, have some wonderful writing behind them, without getting in the way of the gameplay. The talk radio stations and ads in Vice City are laugh-out loud funny.”
