New Graphic Novel From Zune Is Free Online

by Christine Whitney on July 3, 2008 at 08:54 AM



Whoaaa, a new graphic novel from Zune Arts. Microsoft's digital entertainment brand (it's not just a portable media player, ya know) just came out with 'The Lost Ones,' a collaboration between '30 Days of Night' author Steve Niles and a bunch of artists. Our favorite of the gang is painter Kime Buzzelli, whose awesome watercolors adorn a chapter involving aliens and caves and an Andre-3000-esque hero. Gary Panter, of 'Pee-wee's Playhouse' notoriety, is also involved in the project, as are Brooklyn duo Morning Breath and indoor-sunglasses wearer Dr. Revolt.

The story involves four friends who get into trouble while "planet jumping" and transcending space and time, much like Lily Tomlin in 'I Heart Huckabees.' You can buy one of 42,000 paperback versions of the novel for subway/beach reading at select bookstores or download it free from Zune itself and read it on your computer.
