Comic book writer Greg Pak and Internet musician Jonathan Coulton have launched a Kickstarter campaign for Code Monkey Save World, a graphic novel based on the songs of Jonathan Coulton, written by Greg Pak and drawn by Takeshi Miyazawa.”Comics writer Greg Pak (Planet Hulk, Batman/Superman, Magneto Testament), internet superstar musician Jonathan Coulton, and artist Takeshi Miyazawa (Runaways) have joined forces to create a graphic novel that stars the much-loved monsters and super-villains from classic Coulton songs like ‘Code Monkey,’ ‘Skullcrusher Mountain,’ ‘The Future Soon,’ and ‘Re: Your Brains,’” explains the campaign’s website. You can see their Kickstarter launch video embedded below.The graphic novel will be colored by Jessica Kholinne and lettered by Simon Bowland, and digital copies will be produced in cooperation with Monkeybrain Comics.Code Monkey Save World follows Code Monkey, the put-upon coding monkey from the eponymous Coulton song, as he teams up with the seething, lovelorn super-villain from Coulton’s song “Skullcrusher Mountain.” The unlikely duo fight robots, office worker zombies, and maybe even each other as they struggle to impress the amazing women for whom they fruitlessly long. Other characters include office-worker-turned-action-heroine Matilde (the “you” to whom the song “Code Monkey” is sung), Laura the Robo Queen (from the song “The Future Soon”), Zombie Bob (from “Re: Your Brains”) and the heroic curler (from “Curl”).
