Just like the title says, Comic Jumper: The Adventures of Captain Smiley is the latest game from Twisted Pixel. It was just announced at PAX 09, and it's similar in concept to the old game Comix Zone.
I'd post a picture of it but I can't get one. The trailer is on IGN.com so check it out there.

Basically, you play what appears to be a pompous old-school superhero who's insignia is a talking star (complete with face) that's growing out of his chest. You traverse comics, the art style changing from comic to comic, and apparently the gameplay is "totally new".
Personally I'm not a fan of the main character's design, it's more of a mockery of the retro-hero look, and frankly I think they'd do better to do something more in the vein of today's ultra-gritty, crossover heavy, retcon loving, "I-take-myself-too-seriously" superheroes.
But what do you think?
