==Plot== ===Story=== {{nihongo|Sketch Turner|γΉγ±γγγ»γΏγΌγγΌ}}, a "[[Cartoonist|starving artist]]" and freelance rock musician, is working on his newest comic book, named the "Comix Zone." Comix Zone is the story of the New World Empire's attempt to defend Earth from an invasion of alien renegades, with inspiration coming from Sketch's (oddly vivid) dreams and nightmares. One night, while Sketch is working on Comix Zone during a thunderstorm, a lightning bolt strikes a panel of his comic. In this instant, the main villain of Comix Zone - a powerful [[mutant]] named Mortus - manages to escape the comic book's pages, and hurl the stunned Sketch into the world of Comix Zone. Because he does not possess any power in this reality, Mortus intends to free himself by destroying Sketch in the comic book, and make himself real in the process. Inside the comic book, Sketch meets General Alissa Cyan, who believes he is a superhero ("the chosen one") who has come to save their [[post-apocalyptic]] world from the evil of Mortus and the alien invaders. Ignoring Sketch's protests, Alissa sends him on his mission, keeping in touch with instructions and hints via radio. Now that Mortus has a physical presence outside of Comix Zone, he is free to change the world as he wishes, simply by drawing in enemies for Sketch to face - or in one instance burn up part of a page. In the final (and partly unfinished) panel, Sketch finds a [[nuclear missile|nuke]] ready to launch, and Alissa is working on defusing it. Enraged, Mortus zaps himself back into the Comix Zone and shuts Alissa inside the nuke, which starts to fill with liquid. Sketch must now defeat Mortus for good and try and prevent Alissa from drowning. ===Episodes=== There are three episodes in the game, each consisting of two pages in a distinct area (levels): * Episode 1: "Night of the Mutants" ([[New York City|Newer York City]]) ** Deceased streets/Sewers ** Mutant base * Episode 2: "Welcome to the Temple" ([[Himalayas]]) ** Mountain path/[[Tibet]]an city ** Kung-Fung's Temple * Episode 3: "Curse of the Dead Ships" ([[New Zealand|Zealand Atolls]]) ** Dried atolls/Caves ** "Abandoned" [[ship graveyard]] ===Cast=== * [[Howard Drossin]]: Sketch Turner<ref name=autogenerated1>[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0356481/fullcredits#cast Comix Zone (1995) (VG) - Full cast and crew<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> * Deborah Costa: General Alissa Cyan<ref name=autogenerated1 /> * [[Howard Drossin]]: Kung-Fung<ref name=autogenerated1 /> * [[Howard Drossin]]: Strigil<ref name=autogenerated1 /> * Peter Morawiec: Gravis<ref name=autogenerated1 /> * Fei Cheng: Styx the Monk<ref name=autogenerated1 /> * Sue Ortlip: Mongoria<ref name=autogenerated1 /> ===Characters=== '''Sketch Turner:''' The game's protagonist. He is a comic book artist and rock musician, and is working on the Comix Zone. Sketch is hurled into the Comix Zone by Mortus and must fight his way out by defeating anything put in his way. He briefly transforms into his super hero [[alter ego]] after reaching the end of each page. His [[super hero]] meter fills up as he makes progress. '''Alissa Cyan:''' General of the New World Empire. She is confronted by Sketch in the command center when he lands in front of her. Alissa believes Sketch is the "Chosen One" and sends him on his mission against alien forces. '''Roadkill:''' Sketch Turner's pet [[rat]] in the real world. Sketch finds him teleported into the comic book world and trapped in a cage and rescues him. Roadkill's tail was grazed during the lighting strike, electrifying it and allowing him to shock enemies if he's let free. Often, Roadkill must help his master get past obstacles and find hidden items to solve problems. '''Strigil:''' A tendriled alien renegade. He is known to teleport all around by merging with the ground. He also carries his namesake weapon and uses them to fire blasts or to hook onto bars. '''Gravis:''' A giant, muscled alien renegade. Steam often comes out of the vents on his back. He relies on his ability to generate explosive springs and launch them at his foes. '''Styx:''' A [[monk]] found in the Tibetan city. He wields a powerful staff which he uses to either fire blasts or hop upon as a pole. '''Mongoria:''' A dangerous woman warrior who uses a hook attached to her long, braided hair. She also has a fear of mice... sometimes. '''Pelagus:''' This renegade prefers to grasp onto anything used for climbing. His methods of attacking involve slime balls and springs that will turn into mines. '''Spawn Mutant:''' These mutants are spawned from ooze. Try to grab them, and they might become something stronger! '''Cocoon Crawler:''' The source of food for newly spawned mutants, these creatures will try and sting you. '''Flying Creature:''' Not very tough, but these winged mutants can prove to be real nuisances. '''Big Mama Dragon:''' A giant reptilian creature who hangs from the ceiling in the mutant base. She becomes upset after Sketch destroys her children. In the hopes of avenging her slain offspring, she vows to get rid of her foe. This fire-breathing reptile will also chomp at her enemy. The flaming barrel can easily get rid of her. When defeated, Big Mama comes bursting apart. '''Kung-Fung:''' Master of the Temple on the mountains. He is in charge of training Mortus' people to fight in the Tournament. After Sketch comments on his long fingernails, he decides to teach Sketch a lesson. He sends balls of fire into the water on the chamber floor and also launches explosive fingernails at his opponent. Kung-Fung sinks into the water and comes apart. '''Mortus:''' The main villain of the Comix Zone. He emerges from the pages when the book is affected by lightning. After hurling his creator, Sketch, into the book, he takes up the comic pen and draws in enemies or burns up pages with it, hoping to kill Sketch so that he can become flesh. He becomes the final boss when Sketch discovers his plan to launch a nuke upon the New World Empire. He randomly teleports during the final battle, but can be affected by test firing the nuke's rocket. Mortus constantly taunts Sketch and also summons flying creeps to fight for his cause. When defeated, Mortus explodes.
