"We've been busy," Executive Producer Mike Jones said before announcing the partnership. "It takes a long time to find the right partner. We have one special game we're excited about."Jones celebrated the quality of Telltale's narrative, which meets Marvel's standards for storytelling.Marvel's new games strive for authenticity above all else -- the correct powers for the right heroes wearing the proper costumes. "Sexy" games are important to Marvel Games, too. "If it doesn't turn heads, if it doesn't get you excited to talk with your friends, it's not a Marvel game. It has to command attention," Jones explained, citing existing games like Spider-Man Unlimited and Contest of Champions on mobile as defining examples.Telltale's previous efforts, including The Walking Dead, Tales From the Borderlands, and The Wolf Among Us, all feature striking and beautiful comic book-style art.Telltale released the following image via the Telltale Blog.
