Oh wow, great stuff! He wears them well although the hacking bricks in two with a conjured up sword is just showing off on Eddie's part. It would probably put me off fighting him though..

Thanks for listening, guys! I think I remember this podcast episode getting a little better in the second half, so I hope you finish it up, Rijst!

I did and it was grand! It reminded me I love watching these horrible movies with a beer and a few pals and just laugh our arses off. I think peak-shittiness was reached when I rented "The Convent" on video and did just that (trailer). Hilarious!

You guys would probably love it..

Pretty much. It's on an open tab and when I have time I go through the listings bookmarking webcomics that I think might be decent, starting from where I left off, and it's rare that I see one that I love as much as yours. Unfortunately I binge-read your comic, and got to the end too fast   :-\ Now I have "show hole" (if that can be applied to webcomics)...

Well I just so happen to have some great suggestions for how you (and others in your predicament!) can help fill that SN8X-shaped void in your soul:

  • If you haven't already, explore the depths of the site to make such rad discoveries as character bios, live-action promo videos, SN8X interviews, '80s movie reviews (both in article and podcast flavors), a rather excessive FAQ, among other wonders!
  • Re-read the comic and this time check out the commentary for each page to see all the witty (and insightful!) comments.
  • Re-read the comic while noting the various tropes and adding those to the Satan Ninja 198X TV Tropes page (a badass fan of ours created it, but no tropes have been added yet :'( ).
  • Become a big-time Hollywood producer and then approach us with an irresistible offer for us to write and direct a big budget movie adaptation of SN8X.
  • Write an erotic Satan Ninja fan fiction novel, and then change the names of the characters to hide the fact it's based on the Satan Ninja intellectual property and publish it to poor reviews but massive success.
  • Go out and find your very own Shinobi Fist of Hellpower and then become a Satan Ninja, rendering this comic unappealing to you because you live the "real deal."

Hope that helps!

Oh man, I almost forgot I was going to drop science and become a big-time Hollywood producer and then approach you with an irresistible offer for you to write and direct a big budget movie adaptation of SN8X. I'm so easily distracted..

Quite a difficult choice but it has to be Viper, he's only made a short appearance so far but I can see him being a total badass in this comic!

This made me laugh out loud. Wiener time, the looks on their faces, the tacky punch line, the heroic pose and perspective, it's perfect!

Good job guys!

Thanks! So you listened to it?

I listened to the first half before I was interrupted, but I intend to listen to the second half today!

Radicast, love the name!

I vaguely remember seeing the first Death Wish and suddenly remember how tacky I thought it was. This trailer really confirmed it.

So you're reviewing a movie that plays out in a neighbourhood full of punks that bother people for sport at the same time your web comic features a neighbourhood full of punks that bother people for sport. Is this a coincidence or are we going to see references to comic pages in your choice of movies more often?

Good job guys!

Razor is played by The Prodigy isn't he?

No way, The Prodigy is way too '90s. Like, ultra '90s. I get what you're saying with the hair, though. Just a coincidence. The main inspiration for the appearance of this group of punks comes from what might possibly be Jessica's favorite '80s movie: https://youtu.be/8VB-mi9aUtI

I though that, but yeah like you say the hair threw me off-guard. That trailer is amazing, the calm matter-of-fact voice stating that the dead are ready to party is brilliant.

Typical 80s bad neigbourhood where all the punks live and no normal people, never mind that razor's grandfather is the richest man in town (right? Or am I mistaken?).

You totally deserve a high five for remembering who Razor's grandpa is, since it's only mentioned once way back on the 6th page of the comic. However, his grandpa is probably the second wealthiest resident, with Dean's dad, the owner of SlateCorp, being the first. Actually, a lot more about that will be coming up in the comic really soon.

I really wonder how this is going to end up, either he's going to beat up the whole gang or he's massively overestimaging himself and gets his arse kicked once again. This is Eddie after all..

Or we'll once again subvert expectations and have the encounter be diffused without any action going down. Like we did when Alex challenged Dean in the front yard, or the anticlimactic C&C game in the Dark Dungeon... Nah, you won't have to worry about that. No more cock-teasing this issue. It's time to go all the way.

YES! All the way!

Unless with 'no more cock-teasing' this issue you meant that this issue is about to be wrapped up and you're saving the cock-teasing for the next one..  8)

Walking around in your undies is definitely the way to attract attention! Typical 80s bad neigbourhood where all the punks live and no normal people, never mind that razor's grandfather is the richest man in town (right? Or am I mistaken?).

Are Justine Bateman from Family Ties and Jason Bateman from Valerie related? Could sitcoms run in the family?

Actually, I'm pretty certain that they're brother and sister. Good eye, Science Dude!

Anything to stop me from throwing up..  8)

This is..

I mean..

Wow. You'd almost think that 80s sitcoms are full of cliches that can be stitched together randomly to make a new series.

Those intros almost made me gag by the way, three in a row is just too much for the unprepared. I mean, don't be surprised if someone tells you to put a trigger warning on that..  8)

Hmm, maybe I won't have to write it afterall. Sounds like you've got it covered, Science Dude.

...

Haha, good! My favorite line of the page is actually Heather's reaction to Patrick's announcement, "Oh my gawd, why do you keep accepting these stupid challenges?" Which of course implies that this is a regular occurrence.

Speaking of Patrick Hyser, I'm surprised no one has called us out yet on his '80-movie actor inspiration, since I think it's one of the most obvious in the comic...

I'll get on it, after all this whole science thing might just not work out.

I had lots of secret battles when I did martial arts, so secret I didn't even have a real opponent..

I need to sit down for that reference, I'm notoriously bad at them..

103
Ah I totally forgot to comment on the page in my excitement. I love how dad casually mentions he needs to battle secretly for his dojo. It's been done to death as a main story line but as a side thing the contrast between the casualness he announces it with over breakfast and the seriousness the event itself implies is brilliant. I never thought something like that could be hilarious but it sure had me laugh..

104
As much as I want you to write a sitcom, even just one episode of pure '80s joy, I think you have too much on your plate already.

What? No! Make that sitcom. People like Eddie would have to pop in randomly every now and then emanating cheesy one liners while throwing themselves on the couch in a cool-but-relaxed kind of way though. Or grab a beer from the fridge like they own the place.

Now that I think of it, that basically has psycho Sam written all over it..

Man, I've hardly traveled within the States, let alone another country. The only other country I've set foot in is Canada, right across from Detroit, Michigan. Some friends and I went there when we were 18 to take advantage of the lowered drinking age and awesome strip clubs. Aside from the weird-looking money, it hardly felt like another country, though.

Within the States, I've been around the midwest for concerts (both playing and attending), and spent about a month in Florida, staying with an ex-girlfriend. Farthest west I've been is Denver, Colorado, which my band traveled to for a disappointingly small show. I know people in Portland, Oregon that I seriously need to visit someday. Jessica and I will be traveling to California soon to hang with Maddox.

Ok maybe I have travelled a bit, but it's so easy in Europe these days. Especially in the Netherlands, it only takes a 2-3 hour drive to get to Germany or Belgium. Europe has always been very diverse culturally.
