Man, I miss out on so much not being able to import the books easily(planning a new method to get figures and books in general,but that'll have to wait) ;w;' Thanks for the clarification! I'd totally have talked about Onk Beakman/Cavan Scott still being called in to write, that's big after the silence that followed Mask of Power.

Blog from the artist that worked in the Dive Clops backstory minicomic! His wings getting mutilated is surprisingly not gruesome, still.

Issue 5 preview pages are out.

Oh my god those Gillmen look so cute(though the one with a beard is ????). Seems like Fico Ossio is still the artist on this one but he changed some things around for sure.

They also went straight to the point unlike the Fiesta issue by taking the preview to introduce the entire plot straight away. Also really nice lore addition that there's radio signal to contact the Academy.

Issue 5 is out now.

A massive thanks to the lovely folks at Supanova Pop Culture Expo for having me as a guest for their Melbourne show, especially after having had to previously put up with me in Adelaide.Very humbled to be included amongst an amazing collection of comics talent.
Myself and my new From Above collaborator, Naomi Woodward will be there happily discussing all things From Above on the horizon and a bit more IDW Skylanders news.

Source: this is the guy that did the Dive-Clops minicomic

The Expo will be during April. Seems like instead of a comic we're getting news there....?

Ooo~

Maybe the announcement of a prequel comic.

David and Ron Marz will be at Albany Toy Show in April!

Also huh,David has a webcomic called Shadowgirls. The more you know, I should check that out sometime.

I'll see if this guy shows up at wondercon!

It's not over.

Don't forget to get some copies signed for yourself if the artists/writers drop by :3 But if they allow it,probably asking if the Superchargers comics will keep going or they'll start something new with Skylanders would be nice.

Previews for Issue 6 coming out anytime now. Fingers crossed for Nightfall's backstory...

Any info for Skylanders SuperChargers Issue 6?

Darn it,PreviewsWorld now listing it to come out next week. Well, we can still get previews, and Wondercon is happening this weekend I think?

Still keeping those fingers. Nightfall might not have much chance to appear in the comics again outside of a backstory, she used up her chance to bicker with Stormblade.

Alright, this is a bump but it's not because of Issue 6-- yet.

Anyone buys the Skylanders Universe magazine? Was surprised to see that it runs to this day,and in fact, is official and has comics. Kinda upsetting that I don't know a single UK fan that even mentions this nowadays,but either way, anyone knows if Unique Magazines is trustworthy to get these from? That Splat backstory comic might be needed resource and since I already missed two years' worth of them, I could consider checking this out once I have some money to spare.

Issue 6 page previews are out before tomorrow's release.

Colors are a little off there, it feels. Guess it's underwater but even then it's not that bright blue and purple all around.

Issue 6 is out now. And this little teaser at the end. Issue 6 official marks the end of the SuperChargers Skylanders arc.

No Nightfall? Ever more? that was my chance at finally finding out what's up with Dreadwalkers.

At least this confirms our suspicious - it isn't over but they're taking a break for the next stuff.

Interview with Ron Marz, one of the writers for the comics! Not a whole lot of news but he does talk about the IDW series, and explains that he lives close to Vicarious Visions which explains why he works with David so often.

Dive, Dive, Dive! comic story bundle won't be out until September 13th.

Also, there's an upcoming official Skylanders journal coming in October: Skylanders Hardcover Ruled Journal (Insights Journals) - http://www.amazon.com/Skylande...ords=Skylanders

Summary: "Enter the magical realm of Skylands to stop the evil ruler Kaos with the Skylanders Hardcover Ruled Journal. The magical realm of Skylands is under attack from the evil ruler Kaos, and only the Skylanders can stop him. Based on the Skylanders series of games, this hardcover ruled journal features all of your favorite characters in action-packed, exciting artwork that complements your writing experience.

With sturdy construction and sewn binding, this journal lies flat, and the 192 ruled, acid-free pages of high-quality heavy stock paper take both pen and pencil nicely to invite a flow of inspiration. Includes a ribbon placeholder, elastic closure, and 7.5 x 4.5-inch back pocket, perfect for holding photographs and mementos.

Is that some sort of notebook? I don't get it.

No clue.

Not sure if this is old news or not, as I don't regularly check Toys and Merchandise, but David announced over Twitter recently that there's no plans for a Sky 6 prequel comic. As of now, at least.

I put that in Sky 6's thread I think. Of course,people are spinning this as no new comics ever even if we had the teaser.

No prequel comic planned for Sky 6.

Something big and secretive is planned for sure.

Or they'll just jump straight to the actual comics after the game is out. He said no prequel, not no comic.

something's up

it's a conspiracy.

found a new thing????

https://www.amazon.fr/Skylande...ords=skylanders

We need to get Widowmaker to translate this STAT!

EDIT: Looks like the 10th book in the Skylanders Universe series. Nothing special unless the description says otherwise

Mask of Power has only 8 books, though.

WAIT A SECOND.


https://www.amazon.fr/Skylande...BWYA9XT65BCCNJ2

We have a 9th book,now!

Google Butchered Translation:

The Skylanders well deserved rest! They defeated Kaos and send the Master Portal forgotten! Well, not for long ... A strange red cloud threat heaven. And if it was still a blow to their worst enemy? You must go asap!
Equipped with their powerful cars, the Skylanders become Superchargers, desperate to defeat evil!

Can't be Rift into Overdrive since Astroblast isn't on the cover. We're getting a sequel to Mask of Power? *-*

Mask of Power has only 8 books, though.

Then what is this https://www.amazon.fr/gp/aw/d/...MJJKXE0ESXB486Y

Thaat's new. TBA date as well.

Could be Supercharged Race with a new coat of paint though. Anyone knows if Astroblast is there?

I mean, from what we can tell from the butchered Google translation, it just seems to be a book version of Rift into Overdrive. But who knows! Strange they waited so long to put it out if it's just a repackage of the IDW comics

From the translated dialogue, it looks like it's going to take place in the SuperChargers arc.

The description is way different. Here's RIO:

Quote:

The official story leading into this year's all-new SKYLANDERS video game! The citizens of Skylands are in their most desperate hour as Kaos begins to tear the world apart with his newfound powers. Spyro and an elite group of Skylanders must enter an ancient and unknown part of Skylands and find the only hope left that can stand against Kaos' might! The origin story of the next big SKYLANDERS video game starts right here!

The packaging of the comics is also different from this in the french versions:

https://images-na.ssl-images-a...81cTutZ2hFL.jpg

This is definately new. Strange too, since Cavan Scott didn't say a word on this either. Well,we're finding out in a week, along with Buzz Wing's arrival.

Oh, it's definitely a new book, but I wouldn't be shocked if it's just the same story as RIO except from the writers of the Mask of Power series. Or, if it is a new story, I wouldn't hope for any Sky 6 tidbits in there.

If it's Mask of Power, I actually think it'll focus on Nefarion. They left a pretty obvious hook in Eruptor Faces the Nightmare King that Kaos changed time and now he never died. How he's going to survive several centuries is another question entirely.

edit: mind on Rachet and Clank whoops

Soo, Skylanders Superchargers une course de folie is out in France, but I can't info on it,reviews, nothing, even if some more sites listed it. There's not a sign of the english version of this book, nothing from the author(which is probably Onk Beakman but is listed as Activision). Amazon being amazon I can't even import this and it's not like I know any french. This is all very confusing and just like the Skylanders Universe magazine I kinda wish we had someone on Europe looking and doing research for these.

The Secret Agent Secrets story comic bundle will be out tomorrow.

during my digging around i found this placeholder on amazon france

https://www.amazon.fr/Skylande...ords=skylanders

it's by mark so

It could be the French version of the one of the comics we already know. They've been translating them and hosting them up for a while.

They usually have the minicomics preceding that arc and the 2/3 parter itself, though that didn't happen for the SC series.

Hello all. I am expanding my Skylanders collection to be more than just the figures. I have picked up a few packs of Micro Comics. My question, are there more available than the 2 sets I have?

I have this set:


And one of this set of 4. I'd also like to get all 8 posters if possible:

The "Forgetting Flynn", "Mini But Mighty" and "Welcome to Skylander Academy" are actual comics that are on sale besides being in a small minicomics. Skylanders Issues #1-3.


There are also three minicomics besides the "Full Blast" comic:

David Rodriguez confirms there will be more Skylanders comics, but not in the way that we're thinking. Details TBA soon!

Academy comics, probably. If not, here's hoping for a Road to Redemption arc on the villains, three lines of backstory won't cut it.
