WHAT EXACTLY CONSTITUTES A “COMIC BOOK GAME”

Ever since I started producing content for this site back in 2012, it’s always been difficult for me to determine what to cover and what does it mean to be a comic book game. An easy example of course would be super hero games from “The Big 2″”: Marvel and DC, but what about things…
