Yeah, Nightfall's personality is shown a little here.

Nightfall was a little irriatible with Stormblade's natural eagerness in the comic, even to the point of complaining to Stormblade if the avian ever lets up with her endless chirping.

Great first issue for this new series!
Can't wait to see how it continues. smilie

Two things I really liked:
I seriously loved how they explained both the new Eon's Elites (actually Buzz's Elites) and how vehicles can get supercharged.
The second information might have skipped by some readers as it is stated on the last page of the Spitfire's Origin's story.
SuperChargers weren't called like that until the found out their Rift Engines (which is why no one refers to them that way in Rift into Overdrive) which have then been placed inside their vehicles.
I already got the procedure but missed the correct order: a characters which already owns a vehicle gets his/her own Engine, becomes a SuperCharger and put it inside his/her vehicle to be able to supercharge it and open dimensional rifts.
I still have to figure out if Eon already contacted Spitfire during Rift into Overdrive (probably no) but all that coherence is soooo sweet to see.
Such a relief. smilie

Well, that cover art was a huge disappointment. It looks so lazy with such an empty background and lack of detail. And good lawd, Spitfire and Spyro are ugly there, even some of the other characters don't look right.


It's the variant cover, but some variant covers are better than the standard ones.

One thing that bothers me is that the comics release until the last week of each month. They should release somewhere in middle of the month or something.

They are out now. Blue blind packs. Each pack has 1 of 4 comics, 1 of 12 stickers (oversize), 1 of 8 posters and 1 of 4 battlecast cards.

Am still looking to complete the posters and stickers, if anyone else has extras or just wanted comics, etc.

I bought one micro comic from TRU today, and got the micro story with Spyro and Jet-Vac called "Full Blast". Cross Crow is the comic villain in it.

I'm looking for the other micro comics, and each of them has Spyro as one of the main characters.

There are free copies of the "Unexpected Allies" comic at the Nintendo booth at PAX Australia - that was a pleasant surprise!

Unlike the games, Bowser talks in the comic - huh. Donkey Kong just says variations on 'oooh' and 'aah' like the games but Bowser can understand him.

Yeah but the comic has been out for a while since SSC was released. They were given out by Gamestop for those who preordered the Nintendo consoles of the game.

Just got back TRU and got 4 of the mystery comic packs. I got Goldslinger for each one. I'm pretty disappinted by that. Was hoping to get the Spyro with Spitfire comic. I would LOVE to see the front cover of it at the very least. It looks great.

But as the Instagram post said its not a good idea to have them in mystery packs.

Artist that did the fugly covers for the first few IDW issues posted sketches. I guess nice try....? I really can't say anything good about them, the bug eyes and oversized baby heads for everything always creeped me out and it downright scared me away from the series until Issue 5.
I'm sure it was fun, but I'm also sure this kinda butchered the Skylanders style.

Like Fico, he likely wasn't used to such a cartoony style. The rest of his art looks like it was mostly Marvel, which obviously has a more realistic art style.


But seriously, I'm glad they dropped him, he's a great artist, just not for Skylanders.

Some Variant covers are weird looking, but they are not bad. It's just something we are not used to see in comic covers these days.

As for Fico, yes, we all love his art style in the comics. But that doesn't mean that the other guy is terrible at drawing we all got an art style you know. And yes, it's ok to give criticism well depending of it.
Bifrost Prismatic Sparx Gems: 10370
#817 Posted: 21:16:17 04/11/2015
Art Style isn't an excuse for throwing proportions out of the window or straight up ignoring what made the designs likeable. Kind of the first thing you learn when you enter art school. The Issue 9 variant cover actually has tons of improvement and is much closer to the desgins and proportions(except for Spyro),but it doesn't erase the first 3 issues.

Yeah, but it's best not to judge an artist's style just by their first time drawing characters (Issue 1-4 variants). They would improve sooner or later if they practiced.

Should be about time for Issue 2's previews as well. Though, can't say Nightfall doesn't seem to just copy Hex's personality from Mask of Power.

For some reason, iTunes hasn't posted previews of SC Issue 2 yet. Strange...

And SkylandersGame Twitter page posted the variant cover for Issue #4 - https://twitter.com/Skylanders...367566814814208

I want to say on that cover,

Darn, Kaos didn't last 3 issues on their side, but it's very possible he's just complaining. Either way he got his powers back, and that portal reminds me of the Adventure Pack Gate in TT.

It seems that there's going to be an Robot Army. What if Kaos isn't the bad guy, instend is a new or returning villain with a Robot Army? Or maybe Kaos just wanted to go back to the evil path.

Doesn't look like Fico even, he never did lines this thick or lazy shading. Hoping they weren't forcing him to do all these comics in one sitting and killing the quality.

Seeing the preview pages from the new comic, I do kinda have a slight urge to buy this comic digitally.
From there, the three elites seemed to be on an infiltration mission (if they're actual elites) but I couldn't confirm if they're clones.

If you read the previews, Spellslamzer mentioned harnessing the Elite power of Voodood, Boomer and Ghost Roaster to turn them against the other Skylanders.

I know he is,but it barely looks like his art e_e everything was smooth and nice in Rift into Overdrive,this looks like it was made from the first clean sketch with no second thoughts. Can't remember the name of the colorist but he pretty much saved those from looking like Issues 0 and 1 from TT.

David Garcia Cruz does the coloring.

Finally got the last two micro comics. And the Biting Back micro comic finally brings one happy ending to Roller Brawl.

She rescued her brothers, who were put under mind-control by Kaos and Mesmeralda.

To be fair, December 2nd is on the last week of November. And nowadays the comics come out on the last week of each month unless there are delays.

Edit -
Looks like our new comic cover artist, Robert Duenas, is doing Fico Ossio's role in designing the Skylanders standard comic cover now, hence the comic book cover for Issue 5. He's also doing the comic art of Issue 5 featuring Dive-Clops.

Skylanders: Superchargers #5
It's underwater adventure as Dive-Clops and his aquatic battle tank, Dive Bomber, take on mysterious denizens of the deep who are threatening to submerge all of Skylands! The "eyes" have it as deep-water doom looms!
