Sapphire Posted July 14, 2010 Author Share Posted July 14, 2010 Lol, yea. That has been out for a long time, and it is amazing! I just love how Fox kicked Andross's butt with the Landmaster :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrypticQuery Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 It's pretty good, it's a shame no one got it but Japan :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dublinthefox Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 This is probably my favorite of all Star Fox comics. The story is nice and understandable and the artwork is great. It just makes you wonder. Where did Falco go at the end exactly? One of the many things Nintendo will never tell us I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Para Astaroth Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 I don't think it was great. It's a manga and just explains what the Star Fox team and Falco did a few years after 64. Big whoop. What was the point in bringing in Shears anyways? He died in a freaking retarded way and Falco's excuse to go save Katt was just dumb... The script could have been a whole lot better.

SlyJedi Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 ^^Harmony Descent, I more than agree with you. To me the comic sucked (just like the one from the 90s). Firstly, I did not care for the art style. The art style and action felt more like Dragonball than StarFox when I read it. Also like the 90s comic, I felt the story took itself WAY to lightly for StarFox. Characterization was not good either. The StarFox team did not come off to like they did during the games (especially Peppy UGH!!! ). The new characters added (Katt's friends) were uninteresting and actually annoying to me. The villain Shears was just plan pathetic, as was Andross' revival and end fight. All in all, it was trash to me. I just don't like it. Sly Cooper is a game series that had better in between bridging comics.Then again, this is all just my opinion. We will probably just have to agree to disagree on this...

The script could have been a whole lot better.Shears was an Andross loyalist working as a spy inside the Cornerian military, although his death was pretty lame.The script may have needed work, but compare it to the games and its a whole tier higher.^^Harmony Descent, I more than agree with you.

Sly Cooper had better in between bridging comics.Then again, this is all just my opinion...Felt more like DEEBEEZEE? What the hell are you smoking? It didn't look a damn thing like DBZ, or have the pacing, or anything. It wasn't great art, but it wasn't godawful. And story, too lightly? IN STARFOX? In case you haven't realized, the games are lighthearted too. The entire series is lighthearted. The one time Starfox tried to be "serious", we got Command. The characterization of everyone except Peppy was fine. Fox was a hero, Falco was a jerk, Slippy was a nerd, Katt was a flirt. Peppy, yeah, he was off, having a midlife crisis or something to be such a grump. Katt's friends were filler, and didn't have names. They were simply there to forward the plot, there isn't much more to expect. Shears was pretty interesting, considering he was a double agent who was violently vicious as hell. The battleboar was retarded though, but Andross' revival was probably the BEST one he ever had, it showed insight into his mind and how batshit flipped out insane he is consumed by anger and revenge. The fight itself wasn't much, but eh it was a Landmaster VS an unfinished crazyass clone, so what can you expect? The enitre thing is hardly trash, even taking in all your petty nitpicking (because that's all that really is, as a whole the comic gets the job done for a bridge story), it is as worst just below average.And Starfox and Sly Cooper have about nothing in common aside from talking animal people.

Robert Monroe Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Arwing Landing does infact have the 1992/93 SNES comic from Nintendo Power, the godawful crackbaby known as the German SF64 comic, and Farewell Falco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That one is actually GREAT. It is my favorite internet fan comic as a matter of fact. It totally blows the official comics out of the water in my opinion. I love it. Naviechance's art for the comic is great too, she is a very good artist. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asper Sarnoff Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 Then why does it say © Nintendo on it?/ / /Because if they didn't, they could be sued for plagitarism. They were basically saying: "Oh, and we didn't come up with the original characters here. Nintendo did. They belong to them, and we're not trying to steal them."

DZComposer Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 Look at the Star Fox Sagas cover again. It says:Story and Art by Sarah DillStar Fox © NintendoThis means Sarah Dill created the comic, and is acknowledging that Nintendo owns the copyright of the characters she used in the comic.If it were official, it would say something along the lines of "© [insert year here] Nintendo" instead. Also, if it were official, I would have known about this comic before this thread, as it would have been used in a promotion or advertising campaign of some form. Nintendo doesn't create comics for the hell of it. They create comics to advertise their games.The Itoh Comic ran to hype-up SFSNES in the US. The German Lylat Wars comic ran to hype-up SF64 in Germany. Farewell Beloved Falco ran to hype-up SFAd in Japan.This comic has no connection to a game.It's not like Sam & Max, which started as a comic, and Steve Purcell sometimes drops a comic from time to time because Sam & Max WERE comics to begin with. They became game characters due to Steve Purcell working at Lucas Arts as an artist and him using the characters in SCUMM training tools.----------------Hmm, after looking at the cover for Farewell Beloved Falco again, I am led to believe it ran in Nintendo Dream, the Japanese equivalent of Nintendo Power. The magazine's name is mentioned twice on the cover in the bottom right: http://gallery.starfox-online.net/index.php?album=comics%2Fsfad_farewellfalco-japanese&image=p01.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
