Our work on Volume 2 is progressing at a staggering pace! Joe continues to rewrite many of the old pages, adding some far better humor and removing some of the more juvenile bits that make us cringe looking back. For someone who’s been berating the Star Wars Special Editions for, what, 17 years now (GEEZ, even the re-release of these movies are old!) it may be a bit hypocritical to be going back and changing things up ourselves! But unlike an alteration of a beloved movie moment in an attempt to sell more toys, we’re really trying to match the tone of the earlier part of the comic to its current state, which, I think we’d all agree, is the superior tone… state… thing. The next update we’ll show some comparison pages, old vs new, and the work in progress for the Volume 2 cover illustration! Forward momentum, I say!

And by “effects” I mean “swords”. LOTS of swords.
To protect guns. LOTS of guns.
To arm soldiers. LOTS of soldiers.
Like those 5 suspiciously similar looking soldiers in panel 4.
To fight battles. LOTS of battles.
Alternatively, he could vanish. Is he dick enough to do that?
Unlikely!
I actually think the correct word you are looking for is “fare”. Thanks for the comic guys~
OH NO YOU’RE RIGHT!!! Well, fixed now!
Genchu needs his teddy bear.
He loves his Kuma-kun.
He takes it to Comic-Con.
Where he eats his Carmel Corn.
And watches Kare Kano.
Right after he reads Case Closed.
Or plays a few yaku of Koi-Koi…
(Why yes, I did just see “Summer Wars”. Why do you ask?)
Genchu is smooooooth. His face in panel 2 is priceless. His face in panel 3 about as innocent as it could possibly be. Not buyin’ it. No matter how cute it is.
He’s a disarmingly nice guy when he’s not slaughtering hordes of enemies.
It’s always the hordes of enemies that bring out a man’s true character.
Ooo~ Next update we get a sneak peak at the updated pages for the old chapters? Nice!
We’re eager to show them! It’s going to make reading through the archive far less painful (for me, at least).
Did Bunzo manage to train Mount Fuji as a ninja, or did you mean “sneak peek”?
Genchu, just set the ship filled with guns on fire, evacuate the crew, and walk away from the explosion. it’ll be like you were never there.
Poor Genchu . . .
