MDb news since 1996.
Well folks, it's finally here: the last chapter of Metroid EX, thus ending the Samus & Joey saga! We've been working on this project for over five years now - starting back in December 2009. Things have changed a lot since then, and sometimes it feels like I've finished the project three times already. Part of the reason it took so long is because the team changed quite a bit from when we first started; also, we didn't have all the chapters until last summer. Then there are all the major life events that happened in the meantime.
I'd love to say we are completely done with Samus & Joey and can finally close the book on it, but there's still a little work left to do. We're going to clean up a few things here and there for consistency, and I am also working on an interview with the author, Idzuki Kouji, aka Moon Up. The sensei is ultimately responsible for all these great images and the long, epic space opera of over 960 pages - it's simply an incredible piece of work, and a darn shame that it never came out here officially.
I want to thank everyone who worked with us on the manga over the years, especially Matthew, who scanned all the pages of Volumes 1-3 and, of course, Infinity's End for all the awesome SFX work. I also want to thank everyone who has been following the manga from its very beginnings and stuck with us through the long periods where there wasn't anything being updated! And if you're new to the series, you can always start with Chapter 1. If you manage to read the whole thing in less than three hours, Samus might reveal her identity! ;-)
Finally, here's a message from Infinity's End:
Holy crap folks, it's been 5 whole years since we started this project and it's finally come to a stunning end. I am EXTREMEly proud of the work Cap, myself, and the rest of the contributors to this project have made and I really hope we were able to give the fans a translation that will stand the test of time. A sincere, heartfelt thank you to the readers, MDb visitors and forum members and to all Metroid fans, old and new. SEE YOU NEXT MISSION!
Until next time...
