I haven't played it before but it kind of reminds me of Guacamelee which I ADORED, so I'm really excited. You'll definitely have to pick this up.

Haha yea, there's a little metroidvania feel to it with the different traversal types. I remember what blew my mind is, at least if I remember correctly, The Dragon's Trap beginning with the ending of the game before right? And the mecha dragon shows up and curses you etc? It took me and my sister like a year to beat the one before because we were maybe 4 or 5 haha so that intro was just like WHAT. I loved the one after where you had blue hair too. And read the comic strip in Sonic The Comic....

....yea. I was a Sega kid.

Hahaha nice. And you do remember correctly about The Dragon's Trap beginning. The game holds up super well for a 30 year old game. That is helped TREMENDOUSLY by the updated visuals, though (IMO).

My man. Blast processing FTW.

I was actually struggling where to buy that game, but Van totally put me over on the switch version.

 

[Freezasaurus]

My man. Blast processing FTW.

Is that similar to how Atari claimed that the Jaguar having two 32-bit processors made it a 64-bit system?

 

[MHWilliams]

Damn, that is a really clean-looking game.

And you can switch between the new version and the classic on the fly. From my review:

Great review. Really psyched to play this now.

Gotta go fast!

Dear lord, hold me. That second comparison especially. It adds a whole tone and world that was never there before. The artists with that dev team need to take a bow.

 

[BrightLightLava]

Adding my praise on to the heaps already here for The Button. That's a great way to start a crossover.

And hot damn, Wonder Boy looks fresh as hell.

Also, I know how y'all feel about them mangas, but Jojo's Bizarre Adventure lives up to its name. It's odd. Lots of human on dog violence. and the art's all over the place. From panel to panel Jojo will go from PeeWee Herman to Hulk and back.

 

[Malyse]

Goddammit, I guess I have to read flash next week.

Oh this looks good. I just walked away from Resident Evil 7 forever

This looks more my speed >.>

I know right

FINE. I will read Flash. GOD.

[Poodlestrike]

The Button start was sooooo gooooood. Fabok is fantastic, and King's writing works so damn well with the 9 panel format. And the

countdown clock

was just wonderful.

 

[shingi70]

I have to pick up Wonderboy as soon as I'm done with Ori and Blaster Master Zero. Really hoping the switch has a sega system Virtual Console because they have a lot of interesting stuff I didn't play being a Nintendo kid.


A quick shot on some comics I've read so far today.

Cave Carson #7: This was a nice little semi interlude issue before the next arc starts. This was a perfectly written superman and the line Superman isn't my Name, its my challenge gets right down to the core of big blue. Beyond that we got to see Cave come to term with the shit he's been bottling up. Loved the Bane's coloring Corner back up strip.

Batman #21: This is a great start to the crossover story and Fabok killed it on art. I would tired of King using the same nine panel grid storytelling mechanic in yet another book but it works here.

Aquaman #20: Game Over man, Game Over. It's Alien/Aliens with Superheroes. Deadwater is thematically very close to the Trench but the one on one setting and it's power set being using water as a portal makes for a very tense issue. Really takes Aquaman and hi supporting cast out of their element making their greatest strength a gapping weakness.

Green arrow #20: Ollie is just as dick as he was in the original snowbirds don't fly story.

Harbinger Renegade #1: I haven't read Imperium so i'm probably missing a bit of context for what's been happening to the Pisots since the end of Harbinger. Everyone knows and is fucking shit up to get powers. Good first issue, i'm curious to Peter's current power levels and wonder if he could take XO or Divinty in a fight.

Yup. Yup I just did.

So in Black Panther World of Wakanda #6,

Spoiler

when a criminal found out Black Panther might end up coming after his ass, he immediately surrendered, dimed out his partner, and offered to take said partner down. While crying.

Lol that was the best, i mean

Spoiler

i would start begging if i know he is on my ass

 

[mreddie]

USAvengers: What a shock, someone is HYDRA

TAHulk: Yep, good arc, Asrar art was good but Chi barely did anything at the end. Sadly dropping it again with the Weapon X Crossover.

Royals: Slick as fuck.

 

[shingi70]

Did something happen to Jonboy Meyer's? His art on Royals doesn't seem as good or Clean as that first issue of Teen Titans he did. Seem'd he's aping Joe Mad a lot on royals.

 

[echoshifting]

I've only flipped through it but that was my exact impression

 

[Malyse]

MOTHERFUCKER.
World of Wakanda is ended? Can I sacrifice an inhuman or Daredevil adjacent book to revive it?

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Acuna is seriously the best cartoonist currently living. Jesus Christ, he makes that comic actually good.

DD books are ending after June anyways and Inhumans might stick around with the show push. Plus, The Crew is replacing it anyways.

[shingi70]

Is Power Man and Iron Fist done as well?

also guys i think i need help. Fell into a Valiant comics hole. Reading alot of thier stuff and watching their Vanuished web series on youtube,

 

[echoshifting]

Ya Power Man and Iron Fist is done

You are banished from ComicGAF.

 

[echoshifting]

My brain just scanned right past that Valiant gobbledygook

 

[shingi70]

I'm going to start stanning for Valiant. In memory of Launchpad.

Nice. Valiant produces consistent good cape comics.

The Crew is the type of book Coates needs to keep working on.

[rinker]

What's the deal with these limited run store exclusive variants? Are they "official", or is this something that these stores commission and produce on their own? In general, how are they viewed in terms of 'collectability'?

Like these:

His valiant collection fell on him and crushed him to death. RIP you beautiful bastard.

Any poster claiming to be Lunchpod should be treated with absolute suspicion.

I doubt the book lasts long enough to do that. An all black team book, especially one focusing on these types of issues will never last.

Well there was the original crew *cancelled before the final isses were released*
Uhm that Mighty Avengers was mostly black and it did...........

Like these:

It depends, sometimes they are commissioned by the store, sometimes the publisher offers them as incentives

Not sure about value

I imagine value depends on the artist.

so fucking talented

They had to put Spider-Man in that Mighty Avengers book to get people to check it out.

 

[PsychBat!]

Is Spider-Man more interesting in a team book or in a solo book?

Any Spider-Man.

 

[caliph95]

Secret Empire

and i'm saving that pic

 

[shingi70]

Any Spider-Man.

Solo book, he adds flavor to a team book, but he shines when its just him, his baddies, and his supporting cast.


Reading Green Arrow I think I like Ollie on his own compared to being apart of the Justice League.

 

[Sandfox]

Is Spider-Man more interesting in a team book or in a solo book?

Any Spider-Man.

I would say solo, but he and other Spiders have had their moments on teams through the years.

Solo easily

All of them.
