Description Ok... this is the original cover for the upcoming issue 17 of Huntik Magazine, but you won't be seeing it.

While we were halfway across the process of making this issue, Rainbow changed its mind because they decided to adapt the comic book to the new second season of the tv show, soon to be aired on tv.

So, this cover was discarded and replaced with a new one featuring Lok in a different costume and a titan from the second season which does not even appear in the story. You can see it here [link] I'll spare you the mess this decision caused because it involved contradictory directives and more wasted work.

Though I completely understand the need to keep the comic in line with the show, I can't help disagreeing with putting on the cover some titan not featured in the story, especially when we had this new legendary titan Kronos showing himself here. I'm only afraid the new cover will look very much out of context. However, work is work and the customer is always right, even when it wants to hurt himself.

In this issue Lok and Sophie are hurled in the late XVII century by the legendary titan Kronos and must find their way back, eventually correcting the past to change the future.

I really did like the story plot, especially because it's based on a whole new situation never seen in Huntik, I just wish it didn't have some big bugs spoiling it; but then again, rewriting half a script in the hurry of a few days in the middle of summer wasn't easy for the poor writers, so in my opinion the defects are justified.

I'll post some pages as soon as the issue comes out, around September-October.

Because they never made it available outside Italy, even though a lot of fans in other countries would have liked to read it.

Finalmente qualche giorno fa sono riuscita ad accaparrarmi una copia di Huntik 17!! (Gaudio e giubilo, perchΓ© trovarlo Γ¨ sempre un'incognita. )
...e non posso che essere d'accordo con te: questa copertina, oltre che ovviamente coerente con la storia del fumetto, Γ¨ infinitamente piΓΉ bella di quella che Γ¨ stata usata... fosse anche solo perchΓ© non riesco a non trovare alquanto imbarazzante il fatto che in stadio powerbonded Kipperin si trasformi sostanzialmente in una tuta da Power Ranger. o_O
Ma a parte questo! La composizione mi piace un sacco, epica e drammatica al punto giusto, Kronos Γ¨ talmente BADASS che non riesco a trovare un degno aggettivo corrispondente in italiano, e in particolare adoro l'effetto metallico della falce e la trasparenza del mantello del titano.
Veramente un bel lavoro! Credo proprio che me la stamperΓ² e la userΓ² come copertina alternativa...

Grazie! Io la copertina nuova non so nemmeno come postarla dato che ho solo i personaggi su uno sfondo bianco, il bg l'hanno appiccicato da uno di quelli della serie animata...

So, does this mean that Kronos will appear in the show? I certainly hope so- he looks wicked. And when is season 2 coming out?

No, I'm sorry, it's a titan created for the comics, but thanks . And for the zillionth time I don't know when huntik 2 comes out in other countries, networks don't inform us humble cartoonists of their programs... however here in Italy the show is being aired, but I haven't seen a single episode because it's too early on morning and I'm lazy.

Wait, let me get this straight...You illustrate a comic book that's been made into a tv show?

the-silverware In reply to Kin-Maru [2011-08-25 23:09:52 +0000 UTC]

Nope, the tv show has been made into a comic book with parallel storyline.

So, the titan Kronos.. can he talk? Just wondering, seeing a sentient titan with the power over time..

the-silverware In reply to wkwied [2011-08-25 23:11:59 +0000 UTC]

Generally speaking titans are able to think but don't talk. If they communicate, they do so telepathically only with the seeker that owns them.
Cherit makes an exception as he was unbound from his amulet a long time ago.

I'm almost disappointed by that, I think I preferred the notion that the Titans were, essentially, spells, they weren't sentient in their own right, they were tools given form by magic, so Springer might look like a raccoon/tanuki, but wasn't actually alive, rather "he" was a lockpick spell that the magician made into a handy shape. Sabriel was an attack/defence spell which looks human(ish) etc...

Otherwise I think you tend to end up in the same sort of vibe as Pokemon, whose underlying story has always appeared to be "Humans making captive animals stay inside tiny little balls, only to come out to fight each other for entertainment", which never quite felt right to me.

Oh well, the Titans have terrific designs anyway, and the puzzle solving aspects of Seeker-dom are fun.

the-silverware In reply to Icon-UK [2011-10-19 10:30:17 +0000 UTC]

My sentiments exactly. I've thought many times what would happen if titans were to start thinking of themselves as free-willed individuals instead of slaves. It's the kind of starting plot I would really like to develop a new season of the comic book on, but apparently no one ever thinks we can do something more with this series than dig the titan-fight bad guys-get the titan.

Please keep fighting for that as a storyline! It sounds great!
