Thiiis kinda sounds like Issue 4 but with water monsters. Really hoping they're not going for formulaic pointless stories.

Just browsed at Skylanders Universe: Chronicle Conundrum (if I know the title clearly) in my local bookstore.
Turns out, it has the pages of the 2015 Annual with a poster and stickers from Trap Team.
Has anyone mentioned this yet?

My eyes! My eyes! What are those monstrosities (Especially Spyro)? I hope they won't be an official comic artist, because I wouldn't be able to stand that art style.

I'll go right ahead and tell you to stop. I whine about what I want, and as an artist, I should.

Spyrocrash, the problem isn't how, but that the lines make it seem he has the snout of Ignitus and co. from LOS. As in,waaay bigger than the rest of his head.

Ok.
The new comic is awesome.

Even if it will turn out the three Elites have been brainwashed it would still not erase the magnificence of this issue.
They seem, talk and act genuinely evil and the fact they "hinted" at the forgotten question was rather brilliant.

I also absolutely loved the interactions between the various characters.
Spyro and Kaos both act as stubborns but they don't do it for the sake of it, they have their motivations (whether they are right or not) and Nightfall is definitely not the type of brave and virtuous hero you would expect; good Eon, she's truly gloomier and darker than Hex!
And Mags... Woooow.

Now... I do think I know how it will end.
I guess it's safe to say we all know who Spellslamzer's hooded henchman is and how the tables will turn in the last issue... But I'm still not that sure how they will handle the three corrupted Skylanders.
I'm expecting them to return to their former selves but this doesn't exclude the fact they truly gave themselves to evil.

And most importantly, vehicles do not play a incredibly big role!
Was it so difficult to repeat the same in the game...?

Would also like to spend a couple words for Smash Hit's origins story: much, much, much better than Spitfire's (both in terms of drawings, narration and lore).
I particularly love the colors and the expressions.
Really hope to see more from those artists!


Absolutely can't wait for the conclusion! smilie

Jack Lawrence did an excellent job again with the Smash Hit origin story!

Ok, I am LOVING this story. I ADORE how they reference GR, B and VD being "forgotten". It makes you think, wow, what if they really DID turn evil? It really feels like one of the darker episodes of Adventure Time. I wouldn't be surprised if David meant that intentionally since they're so similar. I really hope we get more serious and darker stories like this in the future games, they're always so great. Looks like Softpaw is gonna pop out soon, I like how he's barely in the comic so far too, makes it less expected!


Aaand now for the bad part,The art. Holy crap something is wrong with Fico's art. Some of it looked good even great but most of the time it looked stiff and rushed. I'm not sure if he had to finish quickly, or he's just loosing his touch. Either way, the art was somewhat bad this time. I know I said it before, but they should switch to Jack Lawrence as the main artist

I was looking at the uncolored pages at Fico's DeviantART,it really was rushed out of the door and definately not something he'd do like this willingly.You can see it looks even stiffer without the dynamic shading and the colorist clearly had to finish some of his backgrounds. IDW better not be pushing this guy too hard with other series as well e_e

Not to mentions some SuperChargers already got waaaay more than just one figure.
Maybe making some revamps join the mission would have helped with the whole "forgotten/overused" dicotomy theme. smilie

Dive-clopsand Eye Brawl are twins? I always thought Eye-Brawl was the older, bigger brother and DC was the younger, little brother.

But derp eyes are hilarious :U

On that issue preview,awww yeah David didn't go the easy way after all! If it wasn't Nightfall being a jerk for no good reason other than mysterious I'd try to set some money aside for it ;w;

EDIT: Yoooo, they lowered the price to four dollars(I definately recall it being 5.99)? That I can afford! And you can preorder on Comixology too!

EDIT2: Good comic,still not as good as ROTDK but it had some nice character interaction, though I wish GR and Nightfall used their cooler powers instead of melee ._.

Yeah, this story was had some nice character development.

Spyro was never seen again after the first couple of pages. Maybe that's part of the story in issue 4...


And about the comic books look at the SuperChargers' backstories, does anybody think they took place during Rift into Overdrive (the few months the Skylanders were searching for Kaos)?

Spitfire mentioned his race was interrupted by Kaos' Sky Eater and Master Eon contacted him after the race. Master Eon contacted Smash Hit after see him in battle and Fiesta after distracting Moneybone's guards. And then Mags (and Sharpfin for Smah Hit) built them the Crypt Crusher and Thump Truck when they joined.
Bifrost Diamond Sparx Gems: 9943
#883 Posted: 18:01:13 30/12/2015
Those aren't spoilers,they're the actual backstories(minus Mags in the third). It's never explained in great detail but after High Volt discovered the Sky Eater being built, Eon started recruiting; or he was already doing it because he wanted some racers but some of them were already getting involved.

SuperChargers Issue 4 will be out next Wednesday, that's the earliest release I haven't seen in a while with IDW Skylander comic releases.

From the iTunes preview pages of the comic, Count Moneybone returns, seeking revenge against the Skylanders and the traitor Kaos for banishing him -https://itunes.apple.com/us/bo...071475995?mt=11

Hi just have a question about the comics. I see that issues 7, 8 and 9 are Return Of The Dragon King. Then there's the bundle comics, which Vol 3 is Return Of The Dragon King. So my question is are the Bundles, simply Bundles of each issues? So Vol 1 is issues 1, 2 & 3, Vol 2 is issues 4, 5 & 6 etc? Or are the bundles different comics?

I just don't want to go ordering 2 of the same comic.

Thanks in advance for you answers.

Each comic bundle has two or three main comic issues about a story arc, like The Kaos Trap bundle has issues 0-3, the Champions bundle has Issues 4-6.

The Return of the Dragon King bundle has all parts of the story arc, issues 7-9 Part 1-3. Including the prequel short stories from Issues 4-6.
