It follows Metal Gear Solid's plot to the letter: special agent Solid Snake, a bizarre mix of Hollywood tropes and icons from Snake Pliskin to James Bond, infiltrates the island facility Shadow Moses.
Sadly, as I said, it does so often fail as a comic book. Fantastic, inspiring work, and if you're on the fence about whether or not a comic adaptation of a pair of videogames you've already played are worth reading, let Ashley Wood's art kick you to the "yes" side. It's absolutely striking in its simplicity and elegance, and, where Metal Gear Solid's comic adaptions fail as comic books, they succeed as art books. His erratic, sketchy style embodies the best of modernist pop art, a crude mixture of hyper-realism and abstract minimalism. but not for the reasons you might expect.Īshley Wood is a fantastic artist, let's get that out of the way.

It's coming to PlayStation 3 in June with Metal Gear, Metal Gear 2, Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid 2: HD Edition, Metal Gear Solid 3: HD Edition, Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker HD Edition, Metal Gear Solid: VR Missions, and Metal Gear Solid 4: Trophy Edition. The Legacy Collection includes all of the long-running sneak 'em up's main games. The first later came to PSP as an interactive motion comic in Metal Gear Solid: Digital Graphic Novel. The graphic novels collect the comic book adaptations of MGS 1 and 2, which were illustrated by Ashley Wood and written, respectively, by Kris Oprisko and Alex Garner. "Thus we decided to include those 'watch MGS' for those who has difficulty playing." "Older games like MGS1 or MGS2 got different control feeling from that of today," Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima explained on Twitter (via Joystiq). That's why Konami includes graphical novel adaptations of the first two Metal Gear Solid games in The Legacy Collection: so people who struggle with those quaint late-'90s controls can still "watch MGS." While music, films, or paintings from a century ago are as accessible as ever, video games' constant evolution means releases from even a decade ago can be frustrating to play.
