Upcoming iOS Title Upgrade Soul Will Upgrade Your Expectations Of The Graphic Novel Form
October 30, 2012
If you think you've seen everything that can be done on the iOS platform as far as graphic novels are concerned, think again. You obviously haven't seen Upgrade Soul.
Well, it's quite understandable if you really haven't seen Upgrade Soul, since it hasn't been released yet.
Upgrade Soul is an upcoming graphic novel for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
It follows the story of two elderly science buffs who become the first subjects of an experimental therapy to rejuvenate the human body. But, seeing as it's "experimental," it's really no surprise that the procedure doesn't go as expected, to say the least.
Upgrade Soul is written and illustrated by Ezra Claytan Daniels of "The Changers" and "Black Violet" fame, with a rousing musical score by Alexis Gideon.
