I’m not a full-time cartoonist, but I definitely have my favorites.and hell boy Might be my all-time favorite because its creator, Mike Mignola, Final Fantasy Comics opened up my weekends wide open.
Renowned comic book author Kurt Busiek is best known for his superhero work, including: Superman and the avengerstook to Twitter over the weekend to talk about the comic he and Mignola teamed up with in the early ’90s. he says“There’s been a flurry of news articles and discussions online, but they all seem to misinterpret the narrative.”
I didn’t know why either was For some, this would be a fix for the old story that made it “wrong,” but for me, it’s one of the coolest “what if” stories in the history of video game adaptations. One.
Busiek’s retelling spanned a number of tweets, so I’ve pasted the full text below (editing some capitalization), but if you want to read it as the site intended, you can start here:
Mike Mignola drew a nice looking cover, but not the interior. Dell Barras did. He finished about 1.5 issues before the plug was pulled. I think he wrote 3 (out of 4) issues.
It wasn’t a game adaptation. The project started as an original adventure set in the world of FINAL FANTASY I, but after Disney Comics approved my outline, Squaresoft tied it into the next game, now known as FINAL FANTASY IV. I’m kind of saddened by this….I like the story I came up with and it’s basically about a low level character trying to survive and the new game is high- Ranking those who were in charge of the military, country, etc. was more limited, but yes.
So they paid me a kill fee for the first outline. I created a new outline with characters from the next game rather than adapting the game, but telling a new story in that world.
Some people have clearly said that I never played FFIV or didn’t want to make changes they didn’t like. That’s true, but that’s because FFIV isn’t ready yet. This is before it was released in Japan. I worked on the overall bible and the art of character design.
I’ve seen reports say it was a bad comic and that it’s a good thing it didn’t come out. (I had to write it in a hurry for the above reasons), but it was a solid story. And Final Fantasy fans said they would hate it if it was published today. Because you’re bringing all your knowledge of FF lore to it. It would seem heresy. But I would have been fine with it coming out at the time.
I’ve seen people say they want to change a character’s name because they didn’t know it. What they say I don’t understand was not in the character description I was given. Maybe so, but maybe not. However, when I asked SquareSoft about the name, they advised me to change it, with a view to using the new name for the US release of the game. Therefore, we can be grateful that the comic didn’t happen. Otherwise, Sid might have been called “Roadblast” for the last 30+ years!
SquareSoft started talking about hiring me as their internal “Americanizer.” But I had just moved to a new area and the job meant moving to a Seattle suburb, so I was vague about that. We didn’t talk about the job very long.
But if it had come out in 1991, it would have been part of the whole. If it had been completed today, it would have been this strange, discontinuous thing that made everything “go crazy”.
console classic
Xbox Series S is $30 off, so you can put that $30 toward storage, extra controllers, or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.
The three ideas (Ballas is probably better known for all the original animation work) transformers To spiderman) was able to work on Final Fantasy Above all the comics are funny enough. The fact that Busiek was able to act as a sort of localization his guy, allowing characters to be named and renamed, is even wilder. Road Blast!
