Mario pictures

Super Mario 3D World comic, concept page by Archie Comics.

They pitched Nintendo a Mario comic, but shot down.

Dammit. I'd read it.

 

[Weasel]

I would too. Their work on the Mega Man comic was pretty good for the most part, pacing problems aside.

 

[Xiahou Dun]

I'd read it too, but noooo, Mario stuff got to stick to the games and Mario shouldn't have personality at all whatsoever.

 

[Mcmadness]

I do wonder if Nintendo is actively suppressing Mario from having personality or do they think he already has one?

All it tells me is that Nintendo is a bunch of idiots

I think it's an active suppression. Just look at Superstar Baseball for christ sake. It's very sad.

 

[Mcmadness]

The fact that he's silent and nobody else is? Yeah I guess so.

 

[Xiahou Dun]

Superstar Baseball and Super Sluggers are godawful depictions of him. Same thing for Mario & Sonic. Again, it's so depressing to see that after you've seen Mario at Comic Con or E3 events making everyone laugh their asses off. They really should just go the Fortune Street route. It gives me something to write about when I patrol the Mario article in the wiki.

We still have Super Mario-Kun to work with, I know that, but otherwise, seeing Archie Comics Mario get pitched and ultimately fade out makes me both happy and depressed.

They could at least roll with the silence. Use it for laughs.

Like when Mario touches lava and dies, he holds up a sign saying, "!!!".

 

[Gumball Machine]

I'd read it too, but noooo, Mario stuff got to stick to the games and Mario shouldn't have personality at all whatsoever.

But think about what happens when they don't stick to the games.

With that being said, the rejected comic looked promising.

Spoiler

The third picture is about Mario attending kindergarten.
