 If you're looking for the charity stuff and goons making sick rear end custom content skip toward the back end of the thread. Otherwise enjoy the insanity that is the source material and we'll catch you in a bit. - Future Burd To keep our ducks in a row, please add your name and preferred chairity to the Contributor Sign Up sheet if you wish to make a page. - The cooler futurer Burd Rolling album of the goon made continued story - The coolerer futurerer BurderI was foraging the wastes trying to find some PPE and I found this comic in a disconcertingly damp box in the woods. Let's crack it open and take a look around shall we?  First impressions are critical folks, and if your first impression that the art is bad then buckle-up buttercup. poo poo's going to get weird. But that is our good buddy Megaman and this does have 3 free mini posters of Megaman and his pals included. Did Capcom put out a manga styled comic series based on the games that folks just forgot abou-  Oh huh. So folks what we have here is what happens when you license out your video game property to a group of folks that haven't played the games or know anything about them sight unseen. This here collection of images is an English translation of an Officially Licensed Megaman comic put out by a rotating cast of what can charitably be called morons in Brazil in the late 90s. This will not be a good comic by almost any metric. It will be entertaining for the sheer spectacle of this rolling train wreck and retroactive amazement that some series of people said it was ok to go about this. I grabbed the entire collection of some fan's FTP server after coming across a fan site detailing the disaster in the late aughts if memory serves. I do want to be clear about something, this is what amounts to a 90s Indie comic. It's going to have some content and themes that may not gel with some folks; just wanted to get that out there. I'll just be doing the first chapter tonight, but we can work through the series if there is interest. Anyway, back to our       So those of you misfortunate enough to care about the Megaman series lore may have some questions right about now. I'd advise you jot them down on a piece of paper and then toss it in the garbage. cont. Warbird fucked around with this message at 14:23 on Jul 15, 2020 |

Lil Swamp Booger Baby posted:Wtf that chick is nude OP From what I can recall one of the pages of Portuguese in a later issue addresses this and plays it off as a "coloring accident". Clearly this was deemed too subtle by the editorial staff as later issues of this are just going to go for the drat thing.

    And that caps off the first issue. Humble beginnings for what is to come. Next time we can expect: an old friend, bunny slippers, a 4th wall breaking talk show, and Megaman's sick rear end trench coat.

Elentor posted:Here's the insane manifesto written in the first edition: Oh awesome, thanks friend! I had a few of these translated years ago, but I've been through a few computers since then and lost the text file at some point. Fun tidbit for the next round, a character turns to the camera and monologues a similar manifesto.

Alright good goons, I have a bit of extra time before my lunch break ends so let's get going shall we? You may notice that the art/artist has changed from the last issue. This will be an ongoing theme here. And if the cover isn't already clear, we aren't exactly doing the X story as you might have thought.  And naturally we get another manifesto. This will also be an ongoing theme.

 Elentor mentioning that this Jose creep was involved in porno/hentai licensing explains a lot about this series. We never go all the way thank god, but you can tell when they wanted to get a bump in readership. Also that's his sister. Let's power through and get to the nonsense.    And here we have the introduction of our other main character(s), the bunny slippers. I'd like to take the time to remind you all that Capcom signed off on this.

 Nah, it's just X. He's here too because why wouldn't he be. Also he's awful like Megaman.    The comic has a midpoint break here for the MORE MINI-POSTERS. We'll pause for a bit and resume with some actual artwork, story dump, and the editorial team making some called shots that are amazingly 100% completely serious.

Comic ran from 97 to 99 and was eventually shut down due to money issues at the publisher. Capcom Brazil didn’t seem to take onus with the contents it seems.

Anyway the MINI POSTERS are just some official art from, you know, other officially licensed Megaman projects so there's nothing too much to see here. The first one being Ruby-Spears Roll is a bit on the nose though.

I want to say the next few pages result in a coup of sorts between the folks working the comic and the publisher that ultimately results in a few people fired/thrown out once they realize what is going on. When I said “rotating cast of morons” I wasn’t joking.

Oh boy, time for things to take a turn. Meet Pricess, our porno mogul's OC waifu. That Capcom paid money for. Remember those page long manifestos? Well now they're hand drawn. This isn't OOC in context of the comic either, we're halfway through the issue.

We've got a little more author axe grinding and South American beef to get through and we'll be at the end of issue 2. This comic is awful but I do appreciate the sheer gall of the guy to just start making callouts like this.    And one more screed for the road. Next time on BR Megaman: Yet another new artist! Multiple Roll costume changes, each worst than the last, oh and one of our "heroes" dies.

I. M. Gei posted:Speaking of which, I’ve been meaning to ask, when was this published? The English version, I mean. I don’t believe it ever was. Later issues of this have translator notes from various groups explaining some jokes so I think it may be the efforts of randos online throughout the 2000s; which also accounts for some of the verbiage used as some have noted.

Yeah. I'm going to have to get creative as this goes on. I'm already going to leave out half the pages of Roll's origin story issues if I post them at all and I'm not sure how well mechanical pasties and a strapless bikini bottom are going to fly around here.

Light Gun Man posted:It wasn't ever published in English. It's fan translated. I know this, because I did this. Well, my group did. I didn't do the actual translation, but I did do the bubbles and attempt to make the translation sound slightly more naturally English. Sorry. This was the first thing we ever did. We get a a bit better as the issues go on. This comic fuckin GOES PLACES, lemme tell you. Places you probably do not want it to! Oh neat, by all means stomp away. How the hell did you get wrapped up in all of this nonsense? The New Adventures of Mega Man So if you didn’t know, back in the day Brazil had some weird rear end Mega Man comic. It’s most notorious for the fact that Roll gets naked ALL THE loving TIME in the thing. The art is constantly changing. Also it just kind of ends at issue 16 after some dude pulls a chick’s heart out of her chest. We’ve released the entire comic now, but we plan to do some improved releases down the line, now that we kinda know what we’re doing. This page has english summaries and random frames (as well as alternate scans. the ones posted here are a bit better). The page referenced is the one where I got the scans from a million years ago. Small world.

Elentor posted:It seems very in line with something a Brazilian would write. After the dictatorship our cultural paradigm shifted away from metaphors - which were the closest we had to an anti-censorship tool, towards being as literal and direct as possible, connecting everything to the government and public figures. That is fascinating, thank you for sharing. I've always found it interesting how a region's art (being a bit generous for this comic, but w/e) will reflect its surroundings. I've been wondering about what weird and wonderful stuff COVID is going to be the onus of. I had to pleasure to witness some memory out of Wuhan during the early days of the incident and it was "hella dank". If you have more to say by all means please do share it. It'll give me some time to figure out what to do about this next chapter.

Edit - gently caress it, I'm skipping this chapter. Roll is a brain in a jar cyborg made by some black budget program that Wiley and Light were somehow involved with that kidnapped children off the street and experimented on them. Also the guards are wearing thinly veiled nazi uniforms with a Wiley armband on them because subtly does not exist in this garbage comic. This is all handeled exacrly as well as you think it would be by the writing/art teams. ANYWAY BACK TO THE DUMB poo poo

For those of you wondering if there was some sort of lead into a racing issue/episode and you missed it in the chapter I skipped, NOPE!    (It's a washing machine. Comedy is dead.) Also if any of you are wondering how Roll is alive and maybe the previous issue had some details that may have connected it to literally anything in this or any other issue, NOPE!
