Maybe Webtoon Brain Drain is just insane/overconfident in his anti-Skullgirl weapon, Painwheel. But I agree, I prefer a more nuanced Brain Drain that can despise but also respect/value Dr. Avian. Episode 24 observations: For a comic based on a fighting game, there isn't much fighting Ms...

Episode 23 was pretty good. Big Band was big (that car is way over weight capacity) and Brain Drain was a creep as expected. Ms. Fortune learning to adjust to her revenant body was interesting. A lot of "it's magic!" hand waving especially if one knows the mechanics of muscles or how speech is...

All caught up to Issue 22 but I wanted to note a couple fumbles in Issue 21: Establishing shot is the destroyed city somewhere in No Man's Land with comically wide streets, first seen in Episode 0. This church is where Marie first meets Double and is given the chance to become the Skullgirl...

Previously on Skullgirls x Webtoon: State of the Game announcement says "Maybe September?" Now it is looking like November or beyond. Which is fine with me. I'd rather they take their time. Really, I just wanted an excuse to post this: And talk about the Life Gem. Why/how did Nadia swallow...

That Peacock and Marie post spurred lots of "Is Marie too tall?" discussions *cue Alice in Wonderland music* Even "Marie's #1 fan" Kuroirozuki pointed to a Marie vs Annie comparison: They state how unnatural Marie appears, thinking it has been established that Marie is shorter than Annie. Are...

Hilgard can talk! Who is the voice actor? Crispin Freeman?

Your mind is playing tricks. Bassline Big Band, nor any of the other Big Band variants, never have had their Strike Up the Band blockbuster edited. I still see people not understanding the visual formula: Armband = fine Red armband with tiny black symbol + German military uniform = mistaken...

Totally forgot about Shinnok. Gotta add that to the giant skeleton hand list. (where did Marie get the bones, a Gigan graveyard?) Adding more Hilgard Castle lore: Deep in the mountains, away from the ravages of the Grand War, legend tells of a castle that the Skullgirl once called home... A...

I can't help but think someone at Future Club was inspired by the climatic giant hands wizard battle from Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023) for that Marie move. Her conductor gestures really complete it: In Skullgirls Mobile, every character has a special trait. Filia can evade...

The Ben Birdland beatdown is way too violent, especially that gory aftermath frame with his twisted legs in a pool of splattered blood. Now, like Peacock's mutilation, the violence has to be imagined by the viewer. Which kind of works better, like in good horror films, the unseen monster is...

New Characters(ish) possibilities: Double Omega - a new Double built entirely out of DLC characters moves Juju - hyper-speed Parasoul that shoots like Happy Chaos with all Black Egret soldiers redrawn to be maskless and have Adam's face Budget Venus - Eliza, but all Sekhmet moves replaced with...

Marie and Peacock not instantly recognizing each other is fine. Both have been separated by several months and have changed drastically. They probably thought each other were dead. Especially if the story ideas seen in that Kuroirozuki interview with Alex is used in Marie's story mode (i.e. that...

Treating the Skullgirl invasion of Maplecrest like a zombie outbreak, not unlike The Last of Us opening, was a good call. In SGM Filia origin story, it was like Marie was quietly floating door to door politely looking for Medicis. The Webtoon made it more dramatic and intimidating... at the cost...

The same link to Big Band playing "Never Gonna Give You Up" was also sent to Skullgirls Mobile players' in-game mailboxes. SPECIAL APRIL SURPRISE! Click below to get a sneak peek at our next upcoming character - the one and only Skullgirl herself... MARIE! Funny, but they can never top the...

Black Dahlia needs a Joker color palette. The Joker in The Dark Knight (2008) must have been a major inspiration for the SG writers. Loved the deep-dive into her philosophy. I like how she is a complex psychopath, instead of just being "lol I luv killin, so random." In a twisted way, she...
