Animal Crossing’s Rover on edge
This is the just the first part from Dan Zazzera’s three-page “Restless Rover” comic, which takes you through the anxieties and internal chastisement the cat suffers whenever he meets a new Animal Crossing player.
The comic is featured in the recently published and shipped Animal Crosszine. You can buy a digital copy right now, and physical editions will probably be available for sale again next week.

It will also showcase and sell artwork from talented folks inspired by indie games, like the above Nidhogg and BaraBariBall pieces from Kyle Fewell and Hamlet Machine (the logo is from Cory Schmitz). You can RSVP here and find more info at the event’s Facebook page.

Cat and consoles by Kyle Fewell
One of many wonderful pieces appearing at Attract Mode’s Comics Vs. Games 2 event at The Toronto Comic Arts Festival running from May 11 to 12.

Fire Emblem x Etrian Odyssey x Soul Hackers

We’ve yet to see anything substantial for Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem, but here’s some fun Atlus crossover fanart I came across this morning. First we have Chrom clashing with an Etrian Odyssey Landnsknecht, drawn by Tora Plu. And after that is another Etrian Odyssey mash-up, this time with Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers, from 怪奇( ゚д゚ )くろ男.

It’s turning into a very Etrian Odyssey day… Maybe a sign that I need to bounce back into EOIV and try to plow through that six hours of progress I lost after forgetting to save.

Fantastic Lucina pencils/watercolor art by Jenninaitsu

Is it okay to talk about/identify this character yet? Everyone’s already played the game, right? And it’s not like we all weren’t spoiled about her whole deal forever ago.

Anyway, this is a great companion piece to the last amazing Jenninaitsu piece we featured.

Robot Ninja Haggle Man 3 by Nina Matsumoto
Much like Indies Zero/Gears did when developing Haggle Man 3, Nina referenced Ninja Gaiden heavily for this sick commissioned piece. Apparently someone will be making a Famicom cartridge label out of the art? If you’re that someone, make sure to send us the results!

Game Boy and Fox

Two comics about the old handheld brick for your morning, the top one from Lamar Abrams and the other from Kyle Fewell. What a wonderful time we live in, when we can just wake up and have a couple Game Boy comics waiting for us.

Tom Nook cut-out by Daniel Bressette
Daniel created this for the upcoming Animal Crosszine — if you checked our page for Upcoming Releases lately, you probably saw this neat zine dedicated to the Nintendo series.
The zine’s co-editors Justin Woo and Meghan Lands plan to release this around the same time Animal Crossing: New Leaf hits shelves. They’ve just extended the deadline for people to submit their comics, fanart, and stories by two weeks to April 1st, so get in on that.

Handsome, bratty, and maybe a bit vulgar: Apollo Justice

Since scans showing Apollo Justice’s return in Ace Attorney 5 hit last night, artists have churned out an impressive amount of tributes to the character’s new look. The artists behind these pieces:

I’m amazed at their ability to create such quality and clean-looking work despite simultaneously crying and shrieking while drawing these.

This frickin’ guy never quits
People are trying to just wind down after a long day of battles in Fire Emblem: Awakening, eating bear meat and maybe flirting with party members, but ol’ Creeper McCreepertime needs to step in and make everything awkward.
