Hi there all!

My name is Matt Moylan, and I write a webcomic about Namco's Bravoman (A wacky Japanese arcade game later ported to the PC Engine/TG-16) and would like to know what some die-hard TG-16 fans think of it!

If it seems like an odd/obscure choice for a webcomic, that's the point! Shiftylook (Namco Bandai's webcomics division) is all about reviving old lesser known properties and giving them a fresh take. I've been having a blast working on the Bravoman strips along with artist Dax Gordine. We've done about 80 strips so far and still going strong!

You can start reading with the very first comic, or check out the latest one and work backwards!

Keep up the great work. I'm really enjoying what you guys are doing with all the franchises!


Most important question too: Do you Obey? have you Obeyed? would you like to Obey?  8-[

Welcome aboard!  I've only read the Wonder Momo ones so far, but I look forward to reading these too.  8)

Hay!

Can you get me Wonder Momo Webcomic swag?


Both comics are awesome, btw.


SHIFT LOOK FTWOTWOAFIJAOSIFJ YESAHAHAHAA

Definitely cool to see one of the creators here.  Please let the suits on Namcot Island know that retro gamers appreciate all the cool reboots!

I'm up to date on the Bravoman and Momo ones, and I've read a bit of the some of the others like Valkyrie and the newer Klonoa.  Let me just say that I wish I'd been able to get to Comic Con because it looks like you guys were giving out some cool shirts there. 

I also second more cool promo merch!  Bravoman, Momo, or (dare we dream) Klonoa plushies would be awesome.

I'll thrid the sweet swag idea!

and push the shifty folk to get a splatterhouse four koma going as well!

Hah, I'm sure it would be bloody and cute.

Actually Bravoman is almost always 4 panels, it could easily be stacked and flipped to make 4-komas for Japanese readers ;)

If you and your artist take on it, I'm in! MOAR NETS! So you guys gonna localize for the JP market or what? lol


Anyway, I'm almost caught up and moving forward to the Cross over. Looking forward to that.


Now get you a PC-Engine or a TG-16 (Modded of course) and enjoy the old school Namcot games and the rest of the systems library.

Oh and this crew here needs more swag :D

Neat!
