Glacius was my favorite character from the Killer Instinct games.

You have to admit that it's impressive how he defeated Cinder since he had an obvious disadvantage.

Yeah, but with the SNES's limited graphics and what not (compared to the arcade), it's no surprise really.

Seeing T.J. Combo being owned like that is the main reason why I like that picture. The way Glacius grabs him by the neck and tries to cut off his arm is awesome.
True that. big grin I like how he's about to brace himself against Jago's sword in the next pic too.

All of that was interesting, but I wish there was a visual aid for it.
Yeah. Am still hoping the rest of the comic scans for that get posted someday, along with all the ones that have scenes of Eyedol.

Still, I laughed at the part that said Glacius saw a barbecue grill and thought it to be an alter for a fire god.

when did a KI comic come out? When are you going to do an Orchid thread? She was the best character on that game.

Dark Exile
Bro, I totally forgot about Killer Instincts.

Apparently, the KI comics came out around the same time as KI itself did in the arcade (if not a little while before that), to help promote it. I didn't know about the comic's existence though until not too long ago when I came across it on google.

And eh, alright. I'll make an Orchid thread shortly. smile

The feeling's mutual. stick out tongue

Yoshi Paradise
Yeah, the series wasn't very popular.

Well, I'm going to continue my search for some scans.

Ridley_Prime
Sounds good. smile

Yoshi Paradise
I wasn't able to find any scans from the Killer Instinct comic besides the ones in the link you posted.

I might have to check eBay or Amazon...

Ridley_Prime
Hmm. I thought not..

Well if you do, then good luck. thumb up

Yoshi Paradise
On Amazon, there's one copy of the Killer Instinct comic left for $5.95.

That's very cheap, and I'm tempted to order it...

Ridley_Prime
Only $5.95? Wow, that's a good deal. I might just get it too then..

Yoshi Paradise
Since I'm such a good person, I'll let you get it since there's only one copy left on Amazon.

Think of it as an early Christmas present. wink

Ridley_Prime
Really? Well, I appreciate the offer (very much), but.. I wasn't entirely sure I was gonna get it just yet. Hence why I said "might" in my last post.

I mean, if you're sure you'd like to get it, then go ahead man. Wouldn't want to keep you from doing so.

Yoshi Paradise
Nah, you seem to be much more of a Killer Instinct fan than I am since you made a bunch of respect threads for the characters.

I'm sure that you would benefit from it much than I would.

Bro SMASH
I like Glacius's design in KI2. It was pretty cool and detailed.

Sometimes I wonder if the Cinder vs. Glacius idea was inspired by the Scorpion vs. Sub-Zero rivalry. Heck, there's even similar events happening (the "ice" guy beats the "fire" guy, there are more than one "ice" guy).

Ridley_Prime
Indeed. Only wish Cinder and Riptor had returned in KI2 as well with an improved design.

Never noticed that before. Could very well be the case, or perhaps just coincidence. If it is truly inspired by the Scorpion vs Sub-zero rivalry though, we would need a game where Cinder comes back and gets his revenge on the icy alien (like Scorpion did to Sub in MK1).

Bro SMASH
Yeah. I was disappointed that Cinder didn't make it in the second game. He was my second most played character (the first one was Jago). But who knows? He might make it in the third one if they ever make one (which I still believe they will).

laughing out loud Looking at the supernatural nature of the series, I wouldn't be surprised if that did happen.
