First time hearing about this game, looks like it's going to be awesome! :)
Lifthrasil: Actually the comic style kept me from buying Monkey Island 3 when it came out. I bought it much later and found out that it was a great game in spite of the comic style. But still the atmosphere of the first two Monkey Island games where much better and it's a pity that they thought they had to 'modernize' it. It was the same for me, I hate what they did with the art in MI3 (also hate what they did in Day of the Tentacle), especially the character designs. It never felt like a real Monkey Island game to me and it took many years before I decided to give it a try. I like the game now, but still dislike the art and it still feels like something unrelated to the first two games.
I guess the art in Gibbous doesn't bother me because it's not the sequel to a beloved old game with a completely different style and it's not serious Lovecraft horror, but a comedy game. Also, I don't find the designs as ugly as those of MI3 or DOTT, actually, I kinda liked what I saw in Gibbous.
