POP POP! Ken’s sword is officially sharp as sin! Anyway, not much happens on this page, other than treevenge revenge, but I will be attempting another two update week, so look for the next page on Thursday.

ALSO, this Friday (4/24) at 9PM EST, Joe and I are going to be online for a NN4B SMASH BROS NIGHT. We’ll both be playing on Joe’s WiiU (I haven’t even purchase Smash Bros yet despite this pile of smash amiibo I’ve acquired!). Joe’s WiiU username is jwkovell. His nickname is Joedo, although I’m not sure if that’s relevant.

And, UGH, UUUHHHH, I could literally write a five thousand word essay on all my thoughts concerning the Force Awakens and SW Rebels Season 2 trailers! But I’ll keep it brief cause I’d like to sleep at some point tonight.

Force Awakens Trailer: LOOOVE that shot of Vader’s melted mask, utter BRILLIANCE, I can’t believe they thought of that. I got chills from the music buildup, John Williams I will hunt you down and FRENCH KISS YOU I love you so much! And the look of this movie, it FEELS like Star Wars! Finally. the best film makers in the industry, the ones who grew up loving Star Wars and thinking about how to make their own great SW film, have been given the reigns to the franchise! It feels SO GOOD to be a Star Wars fan again, without the burden of an overbearing control freak with awful world building skills! I’ve got a bunch of the concept art books from the prequel films and it bums me out how much great artistic vision was wasted on Lucas’ incompetent storytelling. This new film feels like it’s actually utilizing all those great ideas to incredible effect. That first shot with the crashed X Wing that leads into the downed Star Destroyer blew my mind! It’s so effective. I’m ready to get lost in this movie when it comes out. MY BODY IS READY!!

Star Wars Rebels Season 2 Trailer: I LOVED the first season finale, and even though I mostly disliked the Clone Wars CG show, I’m so happy to see Ahsoka, the only redeemable character, make a returns in Rebels. It looks like they’re pulling in a bunch of other Clone Wars characters, too, which I’m not super excited about, but I’m very willing to trust the show’s writers to handle these characters in ways that will make me completely forget all the dumb stuff they did in the previous show. Probably what I’m most excited to see is Darth Vader being in his prime, being the intimidating figure I remember from Hope and Empire. I want to see Vader hunting down rebels and DOMINATING, not getting sad and wrapped up in his teen-angsty past. In fact, if they reference his past at all, I hope they keep is real vague so I don’t have to think about Hayden Christensen rolling on top of Natalie Portman while spouting hideous dialog about how he can’t keep living without her love. My ideal Vader desires the order of the Empire and nothing else! They’re also breaking old EU canon in the trailer by showing off A-Wings and B-Wings, which have long been established as ships that weren’t designed until well after the battle of Yavin. That’s just a nerdy observation, though, cause I loves me some starfighters and if they want to break old canon to bring us more Wings sooner, I’m not gonna complain!

    “But wait! The Red Dragon can chop so much more! Fruits! Vegetables! Meat! Pesky invading armies! Get it now for five easy payments of 429.95, and defend your homeland today!”

    Congratulations on 600 pages! It’s been one incredible journey so far, and never a dull moment!

  4. Neoriceisgood says:

    Gonna try making any Mii fighters based off of the comic?

  5. TheMaskedFerret says:

    That look in the last panel may be the most intelligent thing Ken has ever said.

  6. leavescat says:

    A smash night sounds fun. How’s it going to work (8 player is local only, right)?

  7. Minando says:

    Timber !

    Ouch.

  8. Maximum Carnage says:

    … Oh. Oh no. There’s a distinct possibility that my brain has turned “Pop! Pop!” into a rather loud version of the sound those old ‘pop-o-matic’ dice bubbles on board games used to make. And that it will be playing that should in my head whenever it can this week. And every time I read this page for all eternity.

    • My apologies for relegating you to this fate.

      • Maximum Carnage says:

        There are worse fates to be subjected too. This one I can at least play around with, because it reminds me of a comedian who joked that god uses the previous pope’s ‘Popemobile’ (the one with the bullet proof dome) as a popomatic. Pop pop!

  9. Dusty Coyote says:

    Fly you fool! The treevenge can still happen that close!

  10. Astralfury says:

    He should call the sword Pringle.

  11. Johannes Hjortshøj says:

    Ken’s a lumberjack and hes okay.

  12. reynard61 says:

    Ken Daisuke and his new sword: A cut above the rest!

  13. Xinef says:

    Ken: “What’s going on?!? I tried to smash this tree with a sword, as I always do. Swords are made for smashing, right? Is this tree immune to smashing or something? Or is this sword broken?”

  14. Sunwu says:

    Tree: Catch me Ken senpai!! CATCH ME!!!! <3

  15. Karishi says:

    “Wait, how did you GET this sword?”
    “I found it.”
    “FOUND it? But coconuts are tropical!”
    “So?”
    “Well this is a temperate zone!”

  16. Psychotron Ex Machina says:

    just waiting for Ken to start that logging company he has a real talent for it

  17. Dichu says:

    That look… Ken must not be used to swords that cut wood instead of exploding it into a million splinters… Starting to think the old sword may be a better weapon, after all, what with shrapnel effects and such.

  18. Mike says:

    Ken’s expression: Wait! I didn’t think this throoooough!

  19. Speedy Marsh says:

    Is that a cherry tree?

  20. Neska says:

    Ken’s gonna have some fun with this sword!

  21. Kid Chaos says:

    Sharp move. 😎
