Dark Horse Comics has announced a new original Minecraft story, which is coming via a graphic novel series, starting with Minecraft: Heart of Cobblestone Volume 1. Written by Andrew Clemson and cartoonist Jeremy Lawson, fans can pick up the first volume on October 15th, wherever books are sold.
So what’s Minecraft: Heart of Cobblestone Volume 1 about?
Farmer Cobb likes to keep his crops as neat as possible, which is frustrating when he has neighbors who like to chow down on his fresh produce without asking! Then there’s villagers who can’t stop themselves from planting potatoes in his field without rhyme or reason. After a rough encounter with an Enderman he finally decides to get as far away from everyone and everything as he can . . . building a tower up into the sky!
When a stranger shows up on his new sky island and reveals a whole town full of people who desired peace and quiet just like Cobb, he accepts an invitation to join the town of like-minded hermits and moves onto a plot they so generously give him. But he learns that his neighbors in the sky might be even more disruptive than those on the ground. As tensions rise sky high, he is reminded that he didn’t just have neighbors down below, but caring friends. Friends he may need to protect.
