In 2009, Archie Comics pitched a comic book series based on the Super Mario game series. The deal didn't go through, but Nintendo offered to work with the publisher to release comics for its other franchises- Metroid, Fossil Fighters, and Kirby.

As time went on, work on comics for the three series began to coincide with the release of games about them. Metroid: Other M was supposed to be released in 2010, and there was also a Japanese release of Fossil Fighters: Champions in late 2010, followed by Kirby's Return to Dream Land and an American release of Fossil Fighters: Champions in late 2011.

Thus Archie Comics worked on a short comic book series based on the Metroid game series, one of the Nintendo franchises and the game series that created the Metroidvania genre. No interesting material on the Fossil Fighters and Kirby franchises has been found. The Metroid comic was written by Ian Flynn. He spoke about three options for the development of the project for the comic on his Twitter.

In the first version, each issue would have its own unique story. Samus would have been chasing the weapons vendor, who would have been defeated at the end of the first issue. The second pitch told a very different story, Samus had to investigate strange mega-fauna, mad scientists were mutating animals and Samus had to stop them. In the third draft, the comic would have adapted the plot of the first Metroid game, but this pitch is the least known of the details.

The concept art for all three pitches survives, with the first three drawings by artist Tracey Yardley and the last three by Steven Butler.

Duke, who is tired of being bullied for still having only a few spots checked off on vigilante bingo, decides to get even when family game night includes Never Have I Ever. Danny, who is either a friend or basically adopted family at this point, was invited.

He brings up the fact that he has never died and been brought back to life. Multiple fingers are put down, groans and complaints are made, and then they all turn to Danny when he just stares at the ground.

"If it happened more than once, do I put more fingers down? Or just the one?" he asks. The room falls silent for a few seconds before the flood of questions start.

#danny phantom #batfam #dc comics #this would of course be in a universe where danny may know their double lives but they dont know his #danny was just living life and kept getting caught up with the waynes and figured it might as well happen #anyway family night was canceled and leslie was called after danny said he had an accident and now has a 'heart condition'#jason is very much regretting all the death jokes he makes around danny because they arent as funny FROM danny #danny is having the time of his life and thought they figure out he was phantom as well

Enki S Ending: God Blocking Gambit

#fear and hunger #enki ankarian #rher #fear and hunger spoilers #He showed up in the ugliest outfit ever and still served cunt.#Everything about him is so indirectly funny to me.#He canceled his own crucifixion to make sure *he* was the blonde bitch of the non-specific prophecy!#The old gods are running a gambit of trapping humanity in a perpetual timeloop? Just say “Um. No <3”#“Humanity will always be tempted by power and will be tricked into false godhood.” Skill issue.#(Yes I know rher isn't there in the first game but I needed one of the old gods in this comic and...he is the easiest to draw.)#Part of me wants to keep going and sillify the other S endings. Much to think about.

#Saw a man bite straight through a chicken bone on YouTube.#I was gripped. In awe.#A jaw strength rivaled only by - I thought to myself - Present Mic #can't even remember how I got onto the video but it's stuck with me ever since #he had a captivating positive vibe. I would enjoy a meal with him. The chicken looked a little underdone though #bnha #mha #shouta aizawa #hizashi yamada #present mic #bnha comic #not even technically a comic this bad boy is two slides #always thinking about the rooftop gang naming Sushi like 'whats everyones favourite food?'#and Yamada says 'fried chicken' like that would be the best name for a cat- actually. you know what. that is a pretty good name for a cat #Might call my next tarantula Fried Chicken. Who knows?#Edited the last panel to take out the speech bubble cause it looked like I was implying it was weird to eat bone marrow #But I meant the entire bone itself like the crunchy bit #But apparently they do that in some places so I thought that it might come across as a bit insensitive and I didnt wanna get cancelled.#eat bones if you want I would love to eat bones but I'm a coward #It's not really a thing in the UK I don't think. I've never seen anyone do it. I guess we just produce a lot of food waste.#so nobody was going to tell me you could eat bones? I just had to find out myself on Youtube?

Can't get over Charles fuckass outfit

#xmen #cherik #krakoa #magneto #professor x #erik lehnsherr #charles xavier #marvel comics #hellfire gala #the euphoria of seeing their height difference emphasized by the costumes is canceling out the disgust a lil #but not completely

Suggested concept art for a canceled Super Mario Bros. by Archie Comics. In 2009, a comic book about him was planned, all because Archie Comics planned to create a mini-series of comics about a playable character that would not be Sonic. Pitch didn't seem to impress Nintendo in the end, and the comic was never created. Drawings by Ben Bates (first three pictures) and Tracey Yardley (last four)
