*Molekin

Kin already specifies a whole group. And I won't comment on how they look the same as Mabu who all look like teddy bears. Not too hyped about it but Painyatta fans sure will.

Looks like the cover for Rift into Overdrive has officially been revealed. Note how Terrafin and Jet Vac are there; this could be proof that Spyro will be back in Superchargers.

I Was Expeciting an Super Awesome Cover...Oh well this looks cool anyway.
Bifrost Diamond Sparx Gems: 9943
#605 Posted: 08:48:22 19/06/2015
I think it's probably not not give anything away. But hey, Ossio doing the cover as he said, look pretty cool for so little. Kaos just casually grabbing Spyro by the tail and everything going literally flying on the background.

...Hey, if you look at the top left, that looks like someone's wing? Can't be Blades' because the tip is silver, Drobot's is too dark... Like the Malefor hardcover the secret is at the back!

Well i'm not saying it's bad, it's just it's not like i expected. Ossio does the best covers for the comics anyway.
Bifrost Diamond Sparx Gems: 9943
#607 Posted: 22:01:14 19/06/2015
Yeah, but I mean we're only seeing half of it. Like the hardcovers, the graphic novel seems to have the picture going into the back. So we'll probably have to wait for it to come out or for Ossio to post the full thing.

I know that 10 and 11 are about Dark/Light, but is 12 also? (since arcs always come in 3 parts)
or is 12 the first part of Rift into Overdrive?

and RotDK Hardcover still says 6/23 on barns-N-noble's site.
why is there a talk of a delay?

No Issue 12 is the Season Finale with Trap Team. Rift to the Overdrive is the Prequel of SuperChargers.

I have no idea with the Return of the Dragon King Hardcover book being delayed.

Rift into Overdrive is a graphic novel and not exactly part of the 25-page comics(though part of the story), I'm not sure if it'll actually be released as 13.

There was no specified reason to delay the other RotDK either, but the hardcover was June 10 before.

Well, they are rebuilding it. So a redesign is possible.

Besides the concept art is much better than the already good official design.

I like Pain-Yatta's characterization from the preview pages.

I'm surprised that he wasn't good enough to be a Doom Raider. He's smarter than the Chompy Mage at least.
Bifrost Diamond Sparx Gems: 9943
#616 Posted: 21:25:40 23/06/2015
Actually, the guy in question that's less smart really is acknowledged as such - if you see his backstory there's the whole reason he was accepted in the group,nothing to do with brains.

Issue 10 is now out.

I was surprised to see Gearshift getting a role, and leading the Trap Masters and Rocky Roll in a battle against the candy warriors before they were forced to retreat into some ruins.

And lol
Knight Mare and Knight Light were arguing over who's fault it was that they were late to save Spotlight and Blackout.

So much for Light in the Dark :U

Not sure if I'll get the comic yet, I really like that suprise character but I'm not sure if it's worth spending ~20 reais out of my WiiU savings for that new art I'm not too happy with. I've got my eyes on Book of Elements: Magic and Tech really,but I'm not too sure about that one either since it's so early in the series and might have some conflicting canon.

Looks like they're separating the comics in game arcs, while the Trap Team comics have 12 issues, the SuperChargers arc is starting over with their Issue #1 with the Rift into Overdrive prequel being #0.

I just noticed something in Issue 10.

Gearshift nearly died after being ambushed by Pain-Yatta's soldiers -

This should happend in upcoming Comics. Even one Skylander Dying now that would be dark.
Bifrost Diamond Sparx Gems: 9943
#641 Posted: 21:09:15 20/07/2015
But it'd definately cross into the 'not okay for kids' territory. Having them APPEAR to meet an unfortunate end and show up fine later is something else entirely, as kid shows and movies have done that for a long time already, but final death of someone's hero would be a no-no for the franchise,no doubt.

Really? it would be something...just to people just shut up about the series that is too "childish".

It's their problem if they think a series where someone has pretty much attempted genocide and another person SUCEEDED is childish. They'll just find something else to complain about them, and we'll lose some younger fans. Much better to keep this family friendly, even if pushing that limit could make things more intense and fun every now and then.

But still, something I''m loving about these comics is how they really break the illusion that Skylanders are invicinble. Blades almost gets beat up without anyone to help, Hex DOES get beat up to the point of getting a black eye,a whole 44 of them get one hit ko-ed just with three Skylanders' powers, and as silly as candy warriors are they almost got a robot killed for real. Skylands is more hardcore than it sounds, it's just that you play as someone with superpowers to compensate.

Bumping his for something that might be of interest - Light in the Dark Part 2 is listed to be released in July 29th. First second week of the month,then third, now fourth, next we'll end up skipping a month to accomodate Superchargers. By the way, since they're resetting the number to 1 on it, should we call it Season 2?

Oh, and the first Superchargers book showed up on Amazon,from conquertronina, "Supercharged Race". She already mentioned they don't really have deep lore and are for young kids, but it's the first one that's not a comic showing up - maybe it's a sign the Soundtrack is going to be listed soon and other books that might have some hints about the game as well.

I just looked on amazon for the annual and saw it has a release date of august 6th.
then I saw there is a "international" version due out September.
what is the difference?
I have all the other annuals and don't think there were any different versions of them out there?
are there?

^I have that one (the 2015 annual). It's mostly an activity book but, it has a short story by Cavan Scort, that Mesmeralda comic, and an interview with Kaos' Mother (nothing add to the color, but you get to her concept art).

Hektore from SSA 3DS is mentioned on the page with Kaos' Mother but, it was more of a joke on how he hasn't been mentioned since that game.
