This is an interesting thing to stumble upon 7am on a Sunday.


So someone already pointed out what I was waiting until I caught up to point out, but some of the people involved in this project actually have a real-rear end career. Erica Awano (#4 artist) and Daniel HDR (#2 cover) are the two that come to mind. Erica drew a Brazilian manga called Holy Avenger, inspired on an RPG system called Tormenta, and it was a pretty popular national comic book. Like, she was the guest of honor on 2018's Feira Internacional de Quadrinhos (FIQ), which is the biggest comics convention in Brazil.

Daniel HDR has drawn for Marvel, DC, Image and other companies, and now also runs a studio and teaches university courses on drawing. I know this because he's a pretty frequent guest on a podcast I listen to and he seems like an all-around cool dude. He's been doing live drawings during the pandemic, like this Goku: https://twitter.com/danielhdr/status/1254147885698027520

Oh, something that kinda went unnoticed: a lot of the artists that worked on this comic were either in high school or had just finished it. The reason why each issue has a different artist is because the editor-in-chief wanted to "give new talents a chance", which kinda sounds to me like he actually wanted cheap labor.

edit: ah, the other "good artist" in these issues is a guy called Rogério Hanata, who I can't find anything on so I'm not sure if he still works in comics, BUT

I did find this 2017's Nastenka art by him:

If you click through to the hashtag on that Facebook post you can see what appears to be X doing a familiar pose from earlier in this comic. Phone screen was too small, seems like I was looking at the Protoman sketch? Though we do have our female lead represented and thankfully fully clothed.

Doesn't look like I can direct embed it.

I wonder if he'd be willing to speak about his involvement in the project? I may have been a bit overzealous on my critique of the art if they're pulling in folks straight out of school. Punching down is no fun.

The artist for #5 was in her freshman year of high school, apparently she would've been 15 at the time if my math checks out. That info is on the artist bios at the end of each issue, so I didn't do any weird stalking, haha.

I found this video (by the dude working on that MMX fangame with Nastenka, BTW) explaining the history of the series. It's got spoilers for the end of the series, but it's pretty interesting to understand the cultural context and what they were going for:

Apparently they only got to do it on the condition that it would be fully unpaid for, which...explains a lot.

Because that wouldn't be erotic enough and it would cause the readers from the dimension in which their universe is contained to stop following the story, and thus reality as they know would cease to exist abruptly.

rolls also the only robot who gets human-like skin, and needs clothes to cover it, whereas the megamen apparently can't be stripped down further than a blue/white exterior shell.

I'd like to keep Brazil at the heart of the comic, so the plot would involve Mega Man traveling back in time to sabotage the Wright Brothers so Alberto Santos-Dumont would have an undisputed "first in flight" claim.

I've been reading diagonally for the most part, but I honestly have no idea what's going on. It's like every issue is a reboot, except that this would imply that the issues are individually coherent.

This comic has a certain kind of... wild exuberance that the writers clearly can't be bothered keeping track of exactly what's going on or pay much attention to their own script when they can draw what looks cool. It's the 90s fancomic energy again.

This was sort of 90s comics in general. Even Marvel at the time had returned to its artist-driven roots and had flagship books that were just a writer desperately trying to stitch a narrative into "a series of grimaces and laser blasts Rob Liefeld thought would be fun to draw". This is definitely a less competent version of that, though!

See, that's what I was thinking, but isn't the bald robot (I don't know anything about the Megaman franchise and I've never even owned a console :lofty:) the biggest pervert? And her usual response is just slapstick/moderate physical violence in typical manga/anime style, not being gleeful over her brother's death.

I'm thinking that Roll is indeed evil, but she wasn't the one that fired the shot.

Chapter 13: Usenet is down

Whoops, the water coloring one is the next issue, my bad. Good news is that our artist from a couple of chapters ago is back with that sweet sweet 90s anime art. Bad news is Protoman's sex dungeon continues on. This artist isn't going for it as hard as the last one so we have a bit more room to work with.
