Guest Comic by Destina #03
At the top is Magnus represented by everyone's favorite Maverick (and his original alias), Magna Centipede. I guess Mags isn't too happy I stole his joke. He's probably unhappier that I called him "Mags" just now. While Mags -- I meam, Magnus -- does have his own sprite that I could have used, it's 32-bit and would look even worse in the CVRPG universe than this one.
If you're unfamiliar with Mega Man X2, Sailor Steeler's comment doesn't make any sense. The Silk Shot is the weapon Magna Centipede is weakest against. But it looks like Sailor Steeler doesn't have that. Poor Sailor Steeler.
With today's comic comes a couple of changes that aren't visible but are important. Though the idea of this comic hasn't changed, it was a lot more raunchy in the version I have in my notebook. As it stands now this is probably crossing over into adult category. Despite all the innuendo in CVRPG, it's been relatively clean as far as what's been mentioned. I also had to shorten the dialogue significantly, but I think it turned out to be a plus except for one line.
I worry that I may have started to rewrite Death's character a little too much here. Then again, this is Dracula's memory, so maybe I can explain away it to his revisionist thinking. Maybe. The hearts, by the way, are heart containers from The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. I'm also not sure if these particular undead can talk, but so I had them speak "zombie" and have those present mysteriously able to understand. Although it shouldn't be all that mysteriousgiven that Drac is the boss and Death is...well, Death.
At the bottom, I mean "castrate" in the more technical sense of the word (meaning to remove the testes) than in the common usage (removing all external sex organs). Initially, I had the dialogue be more direct, but I softened it up and made it less clunky.
I've given up for now on trying to make these guest comics any more like the original CVRPG. If you don't like the way they look, then either give me some advice or come back in a few weeks. Darkmoon will be back then.
And I didn't even plug anything today. I don't know whether to be proud or ashamed.

When evil spreads across the land, and darkness rises and the monsters roam. When the creatures of the night make beautiful music, and the things that go bump in the night go bump with greater enthusiasm. When the world is in peril and is in need of a hero...
These guys are, sadly, the best the world can hope for. These are the adventures of the heroes of CVRPG. They mean well, they try hard, and occasionally they do the impossible...
They actually do something heroic.
