Heroes and Heroines against Autocracy 2


Author's Note: All copyrights for the images in this comic, including fan art, go to their respective owners.

Remember the previous comic about various heroes and heroines who would rise up to take down an alliance between fascism and communism? Here is another set of heroes and heroines that would oppose an alliance between fascism and communism.

Would Spelunker, Dirk The Daring, Shovel Knight, Peppino Spaghetti, Ty The Tasmanian Tiger, Yuko Asou and Roche go into hyper-rage mode if they were to oppose an alliance between fascism and communism? Yes, they will. And anyone who dares to oppose these heroes and heroines are only begging for death, especially when Peppino going into hyper-rage mode is the last thing villains want to have coming at them...

Rare Gems from the Bargain Bin


Author's Note: All copyrights for the items featured in this comic go to their respective owners.

While Dragon's Lair was ported to multiple platforms, it was also available as an interactive game for the DVD Player. Yet, almost nobody who owns a DVD Player bothers to get the game, which would make this item a good find if you can find one in a bargain bin, that is.

The Su Chi Pai OVA was originally below average at best when it first came out, but the passage of time has its way of vindicating history, by having Jaleco fans search for a DVD copy of the Su Chi Pai OVA. The Tekken Motion Picture from 1998 was actually good, and it was better than the live action Tekken Movie. And for those who are looking for DVDs of both OVAs, you might find them as rare items in a bargain bin.

Recently, Wii Party and Wii Party U have been getting a nostalgic resurgence through multiple videos posted on YouTube. The Wii Party series was not destined to be the next Mario Party, but it was better than Mario Party in several ways almost no one took note of. It's a huge shame that Wii Party's lifetime sales are less than Nintendo Switch Sports sales figures as at May 2023. Wii Party U's sales figures ended up doing worse than Wii Music, which was a huge shame. No wonder Nintendo started relegating Miis to the sidelines. Maybe they should stop disrespecting their loyal customers if they want to survive...

If you think Soldam was an Arcade exclusive title, then you have not heard of the Game Boy port of Soldam. This Game Boy game would be very hard to find inside the bargain bin, and even if you find one copy, it would be a very expensive item, even if its price tag has a 90% discount on it.

F-Zero GP Legend has to be the last F-Zero game in the series before F-Zero 99, if you do not count the Japan-only F-Zero Climax. Of course the Game Boy Advance F-Zero GP Legend is a game worth getting for any GameCube owner who still has the GameCube's Game Boy Player.

Dirk the Daring's Victory 40 Years On


While the Dragon's Lair series hasn't aged well, despite the hilarious death scenes, we should also remember Dirk the Daring's victory over the fearsome dragon Singe because that would have been the fruits of persevering despite having to spend loads of quarters just to beat the game. Even the epic fails merely reward us with hilarious death scenes.

Happy 40th Anniversary, Dragon's Lair! And thanks for giving us some of the most hilarious death scenes, as well as an epic final battle where victory over Singe gave us a great ending!

Smacking an Ice Cream


Author's Note: This comic is based on the PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale cutscene where Kratos from God Of War encounters Twisted Metal's Needles Kane, and vice versa. Kratos, thinking that Needles Kane was another pawn of Polygon Man's malevolent plans, smacks Needles Kane's ice cream.

Here, you can see from left to right, an arrow fired from an Archer Lemming, a javelin hurled by a Spearer Lemming, a dagger thrown by King Arthur from Ghosts'n Goblins, a baseball, possibly thrown by either a Thrower Lemming or a pitcher Mii from Wii Sports and Wii Sports Club, and the sword from Dragon's Lair wielded by Dirk the Daring, all of them smacking Needles Kane's ice cream.

It's definitely not a good idea to smack Needles Kane's ice cream, because there are only two ways it will end. Either you emerge victorious over Needles Kane, or you perish at the hands of Needles Kane. Maybe this is why Kratos does not want to speak about PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale in God Of War Ragnarok.

The War for the Final DLC Slot


Now that Tekken's Kazuya has taken the penultimate Fighters Pass Volume 2 character slot, one question remains. Who will the final 
Fighters Pass Volume 2 character be? And no, Sakurai is not telling who it will be during his presentation on Kazuya Mishima.

However, here are my eight candidates for the final Fighters Pass Volume 2 character, and six of them, including honorable mention Dirk the Daring, were from my Fighters Pass Volume 2 candidates comic. All they need to do now is to get into a huge all-out war for the final Fighters Pass Volume 2 character slot and we will finally be done and over with Super Smash Bros Ultimate's DLC so that we can prepare for an even bigger war to come.

Update: Sora from Kingdom Hearts qualified for Super Smash Bros Ultimate, meaning none of the characters in this comic will be in Super Smash Bros Ultimate.

The Cliff


Remember, if you want to live, do not fall off cliffs.

Blocker Lemmings force other Lemmings to change directions when there are no walls at the end of whichever direction they are going.

Goombas from Super Mario Bros always walk blindly from one end to another, even into bottomless pits. Like the Lemmings, they only change direction when they run into obstacles.

Some of Dirk the Daring's death animations from Dragon's Lair involve him falling to his doom.

One of the reasons Spelunker is portrayed as the weakest action hero in the history of video games is that he can only fall a certain height, and any height higher than that will mean instant death.
