Spotlight: Bravoman: Super-Unequaled Hero of Excellence by Matt Moylan and Dax Gordine

Bravoman oh beautiful Bravoman. Why did you life end so suddenly? Oh sweet Bravoman you had so much left to give!
Okay that aside, Bravoman is the next chapter in my Spotlight list. It was a webcomic set up by Shiftylook, a studio set up to try and make good of some of Namco-Bandai's unused intellectual property. You see, Bravoman started out as a really difficult 1980s side-scrolling videogame. It got a very limited release outside of japan and outside of a couple of crossovers he never really showed up since. But as one of the launch titles for the Shiftylook campaign he was suddenly back in the spotlight!

As a comic it's a hilarious fourth-wall breaking affair with a truly wonderful set of characters. Its plotlines range from genuinely good to utterly bonkers, and it's a total hoot. Later it also gained itself a webtoon show with voices by Rob Paulsen and Dee Bradley Baker among others. It's quite fantastic and has an awesome theme tune.

It also gained a new videogame, but that really wasn't very good. It was perhaps the first sign of things to come. It felt rushed, and another month or two of development would have made it great. But alas, it was not to be. Shiftylook went bust. And it dragged all of its work with it. Numerous webcomics vanished. Lost to some corporate idiot's lack of business sense. It's pretty tragic. At least Bravoman got a nice enough finish. And hopefully they'll finish publishing the Bravoman books.
GO--GO--BRAVO!!!
