"Thorough, well-grounded in prominent theory, and useful for
scholars of contemporary media and narrative theory."—Erica
McCrystal, Journal of Graphic Novels and Comics
"An excellent contribution to transmedial
narratology."—Hans-Joachim Backe, Diegesis: Interdisciplinary
E-Journal for Narrative Research
“A cutting-edge contribution to transmedial narratology. . . . A
highly recommended book and a solid foundation for further
development in its field/s.”—Jan Horstmann, Style
“Thon successfully fills the gap of a foundation for
transmedial narratology that is remarkable as much for its precise
critical re-examination of established narratological terms and
concepts as for its own clear terminology and conceptualizations
that provide fertile ground for future research.”—Michelle Herte,
European Comic Art
"An extremely valuable contribution to the efforts of achieving a
truly transmedial perspective without losing sight of the
media-specific aspects of texts."—Sarah E. Beyvers, KULT Online
“The work is a meticulous survey of media and narratological
scholarship, and one which seems a strong foundation upon which to
establish future ‘building blocks’ of the transmedial narratology
project.”—Fiona Farnsworth, ImageTexT
“This book is a sustained and utterly convincing demonstration of
transmedial narrative theory’s ability to address the construction
of twenty-first-century storyworlds in films, comics, and video
games.”—Jared Gardner, author of Projections: Comics and the
History of Twenty-First-Century Storytelling
“The adage that ‘narrative is everywhere’ has always been in need
of a theoretical frame and method for analysis, and Thon’s
carefully argued and well-researched book takes an important step
toward such a genuinely transmedial narratology.”—Karin Kukkonen,
author of Contemporary Comics Storytelling
“This is a unique feat of narratology, deployed upon an impressive
repertoire of contemporary media culture. There simply is no other
book that so thoroughly and precisely develops the concept of
transmediality.”—Susana P. Tosca, coauthor of Understanding
Video Games: The Essential Introduction
