Cut the Rope's Om Nom in a Digital Comic Series

After announcing the Toy Box update for Cut the Rope and Om Nom plush toys, ZeptoLab has announced at Comic-Con International 2011, a new licensing agreement with Ape Entertainment to create a series of digital comic books based on the popular game "Cut the Rope". The comic series will explore the yet untold backstory of the game’s endearing hero, Om Nom, building upon his adventures in the popular mobile game. Ape Entertainment plans to release the full-color comic book series digitally through a standalone Cut the Rope Comics App in the iTunes App Store in late August.

Already available in the iOS App Store, and continues to gain popularity as it makes its way onto Android, Cut the Rope from ZeptoLab is the world's first iOS game to win a BAFTA Award. In this physics-based puzzler, players are challenged to cut an increasingly complicated series of ropes by swiping the screen, catching stars, and ultimately steering the candy into the mouth of Om Nom, a cute and ravenous little monster. In the game, users encounter new characters and unusual obstacles that keep the game entertaining, addictive and most of all - fun to play.

Commenting on the news, Ape Entertainment's CEO David Hedgecock said: "It's an amazing opportunity to work with ZeptoLab on one of the app world’s most addictive and successful games. The comic book series is shaping up beautifully and we are making something that we know fans of Cut the Rope and fans of good entertainment everywhere are going to absolutely love!"
