Planetwide Games Inc., a game developer based in Orange County, Calif., has launched a new game based on Paramount’s upcoming summer movie, Nacho Libre.

The Nacho Libre Comic Book Creator software allows those bitten by the movie’s buzz to create their own comic books featuring the cast, including comic heavyweight Jack Black as a cook who moonlights as a Mexican lucha libre wrestler.

Comics can include not just illustrations and photos from the movie but audio as well, while choosing from more than 500 design and layout templates. A generic version of Comic Book Creator is available now, while the Nacho-flavored game will be available as a download on June 8, with a boxed retail version making its way to stores on June 16.
