Disney comes up with novel way of expanding Spectrobes

We here at Joystiq do our part to shield the nation's youth from the dangers of reading (Mein Kampf was a book, people, think about it), but when it's unavoidable, we always encourage the reading of video game-related literature.

Now that F.X. Nine has hung up his keyboard, we're glad that companies such as Disney are stepping in to fill the gap with books like four new novels based on the Spectrobes series. Look for the first two, First Contact and Rise of the Ancient, on shelves this week.

Also, do you get the headline now? Hilarious, right? Thanks, thanks, you're too kind.
