There are moments where it's nearly competent, then it immediately devolves back into a garbled mess aping a combination of 90s X-Men and Slayers.

The chapters don't resemble each other in any meaningful way other than they all share the trait that they're stupid.

I can't imagine following this in real time. Like you buy a new edition and everything shifts. The art is different, the tone is different. I guess the sex jokes remain.

I want to know how enough people gave them the money to keep publishing this. Was Brazil truly that starved for comics? Or is it that if you draw enough titties on something, nerds will buy it?

Probably the novelty of it being Megaman-related. Megaman was popular here. Not as popular as Sonic or Street Fighter, but still pretty popular.

Also it being a local production probably earned it enough novelty points for people to stick with it for a few editions.

MegaMan was the poo poo in the 90s. He was popular everywhere. I obsessed over them until Megaman 5 or so. Never even played the newer ones :(

If we are all being truthful, though, the only thing about the 90's in Brazil that really mattered was Saint Seiya.

Everything else was some sort of existential filler.

Did the Jojos ever penetrate the Brazilian market? I understand anime is pretty popular out that way.

There are two official, playable games which offer contradictory explanations of what happened between classic and x.

The first is the obscure wonderswan spinoff where megaman's clone from the future easily kills all the robots there, then time travels back to the past so he can finally have a decent fight.

The second is this one

Is that what's happening in the wonderswan game? lol

I thought there was some anime where Zero gets released and kills Rush, then shoots Rock through the chest and in the last moments he has power, Rock unleashes a super mega buster that causes him to fall apart but deactivates Zero.

I'm also surprised we haven't gotten an X game where the Maverick virus/Sigma reach their TRUE form and the M/Sigma logos merge to form the Wily W and you fight a mecha whose unstable power core gives him a spark-moustache

The back half of the series will all be having these little translator notes at the end written by our goonfriend here in the thread. Ain't that something?

Tune in next time for: Roll wearing the most clothes she's had so far this series! A codpiece for no drat reason! Another new artist! New Character models! And the art getting even worse in what can only be described as an effort of sheer malice to god and man!!

This pretty strongly implies that Megaman is the father, doesn't it? In which case these are inbred robot babies.

Yeah this feels like a step up, sort of, even if it feels like 90% of the artists time went into Roll's first panel boobs and butt pose.

I think this issue might be heavily traced? I get that feeling from some of the poses

Exploration is ill-advised.
Given there was apparently a revolving door of staff I bet the artists changed a lot.

I thought the pacing reminded me of something, it's like the sort of webcomics I made as a teenager with zero planning, just characters going "we should do this thing!" and then stopping after two comics from it not going anywhere/getting bored.

It's nostalgic for completely terrible reasons :allears:

That really is the ticket, except they somehow managed to get the official license. I imagine at least part of the turnover might be writers getting bored/running out of ideas/getting in arguments over whose OC gets to steal the show this time.

Yeah, sure seems that way. I’m pretty sure some of the character images of Wily and the like are traced from promo images. Also their ability to draw faces and poses varies wildly between panels and such. Sometimes the pose looks fine but they had to change the face from the traced image and it just loving sucks in comparison.

I will say that while this issue's art has even less technical skill than the others, I very much prefer the style of the art.

The pencil-colored art is much more appealing to me than the "digital" coloring they weirdly flexed about in the first issue that was just the paint bucket tool.

I feel like this issue somehow has art that is both better and worse than many other issues.

Shockingly there is at least one or two issues where the art is actually kinda good?

SirSamVimes

The only time I'd say the art was actually good was issue 4.

Honestly that was the closest thing to good that the comic got. Cut the pedo stuff and the gross unnecessary nudity and it would have been edgy but okay.
