The Joyners in 3D

3.5/5

Marquez's art looks real nice in 3D. There's not much in the way of "popping out of the screen" (don't even know if you could do that with comics), but giving some depth to the clean line art constantly looks great. As good as the gimmick looks, the story itself is pretty typical drama. Cheating and divorce in a Jetsons-esque future. Especially knowing that there's a non-3D release of the book, it's hard to say that the 3D is that important to the story, and since 3D graphic novels have not really taken off in the time since, it's also hard to say that the 3D really sets the world on fire. Fun but inessential.

Interview: THE JOYNERS, Artistic Credit and the Backbone of Comics with R.J. Ryan

Interview: R.J. Ryan And David Marquez

The world of 3D entertainment has grown exponentially in recent years. It’s no longer a shock to see each new movie premiere in 3D alongside its regular format. But what about the genre of 3D comic books and graphic novels? Once a platform for fun, lighthearted comics featuring licensed characters like Mighty Mouse and The Three Stooges, the genre is about to get a serious overhaul. After working together on Archaia’s Syndrome, R.J. Ryan and David Marquez have teamed up again for The Joyners in 3D. A preview of The Joyners stirred up the audience recently at C2E2, and with good reason. Not only will The Joyners be the longest original 3D comic ever, but the story and artwork can be enjoyed on its own, apart from the 3D imaging. Ryan and Marquez spoke with Comics Crux about which previous comics and cartoonish art influenced The Joyners in 3D, the technical side to creating an engaging “sad family story”, and the differences between the 3D film experience and 3D comics experience.
