Gaming Entertainment: Captain N: The Game Master Vol.1 (Comic) Review · 5:01am Nov 10th, 2019
A new edition of Gaming Entertainment is up as we check out the first comic issue of Captain N. While DIC was too busy pushing the cartoon, at the same time Valiant Comic also produced their own as well. The thing I like about these comics as a format is the writers and artists can do things that's considered experimental. Some ideas would never work in the mainstream like a darker and mature Scooby Doo. Yes, a mature comic of Scooby Doo is real I kid you not. The comic series' from Valiant used Nintendo characters in a much darker tone compared to the cartoons. The reason I think they got away with this might have to do with it being a niche format when compared to TV and Movies. That is probably the reason Nintendo was more laid back for them to write the characters and their worlds in that style.
For the review, Captain N on paper sounds like a fantastic idea as I’m sure many us would love for a proper show like this to happen. You all already know my thoughts on the cartoon produce by DIC but so far, I find the comics enjoyable. According to the story, its about the same with Kevin getting pulled from Earth to Video Land according to a prophecy. The difference is Simon Belmont and Mega Man weren’t added but would get replace by a better character. Samus would appear in this series, and you can’t think of a better replacement then the bounty herself. The story is split in two parts that of course act like separate plots. The first one has Kevin and Kid Icarus head to Mount Olympus to find out why a war has stared. The second theme is about the N-Team exploring Zebes and teaming up with Samus to stop Mother brain from finding a source of energy she uses for her fortress.
