The Destructoid Comic: The beginning photo


Say hello to the Destructoid comic! You know how I did those Tell me what to draw posts? Where you would post in the comments about what I should draw next? Well, after the success of that one shot Destructor-toid comic page I did, why not do a community controlled Web comic? So yeah, here it is. Rather than continue from the Destructor-toid, I thought I'd give it a fresh start, give you all a chance to pitch a starting point for a story. Hell, If you really want the Destructor-toid back, just suggest it!

Okay so the rules are as follows:

1. You have 24 hours from the time this blog was posted to suggest what happens next, after that, I will choose the winning comment! The page will then be posted the following week.
2. Try to keep it relatively SFW.
3. You can only make a suggestion once per week.
4. Your suggestion has to fit on one page.

Get your thinking caps on, whoever wins will be setting the scene. It can be dark, serious, funny, exciting, whatever, I'm looking for something that would be interesting to draw and to look at.

So I say to you, oh great Destructoid community ...

HOW SHALL IT BEGIN?

It should start in a post apocalypse world. Giant Dtiod robot and Dtiod drones roving the Wasteland looking for the last of man.

Issue #1: Jim Sterling Emigrates to USA, forms successful Pop band with Rev, Chad and Topher.

Really, no matter what you end up drawing, it'll still be funnier than Penny Arcade and 99% of the other webcomics out there.

No characters yet, just the Destructoidor (yeah and minions) wrecking face on an unsuspecting wasteland.

Should include the bot doing something to a large landmark (washington monument, statue of liberty, the Gateway Arch, Big Ben)

When all hope seems lost against the mighty rampaging Destructor-toid, RetroforceGO! summons their stalwart mechs from the four corners of the earth in Double Dribble speak. They form like Voltron and square off against the Destructor-toid, preparing for an epic battle. The RFGObot then makes fun of Rev. Anthony's haircut.

Start it with a tiny toy being produced in a factory(this is taking place decades ago) and then show it growing up through different stages in it's life to become the dtoid robot we know and love. And you can cameo chad, rev, colette, and the rest of the bunch as random people in the montage of its life

also, cocks

I suggest doing something "in media res", or from the middle. You know, like The Odyssey. What would be happening, I have no idea. Perhaps just before the Dtoid staff vs. Destructor battle? Then, right as they clash, the story starts at the beginning.

Also, you and Tehmtnlion should definitely collaborate on a real comic.

Mr. Destructoid and the staff get sent back to an MIT lab where they party with a nerdy Steve Russell. They coax him into doing some shots and once all are inebriated, the D-toid team has to figure out how to convince Steve to program Spacewar!.

Marching across the wasteland, the hulking, massive Destructoid robot has fallen into disrepair. He is stained, and creaky, and slightly rusty. Atop his head sit his riders (various staff and community, I guess), having a picnic. A distant explosion grabs their attention, and they look over, unconcerned but curious.

I think it will make a good first page. /me crosses fingers.

A few cells of the Destructor-toid (D-t) bashing the shit out of iconic locales, with the last 2 cells being, (second last) a silhouette of the D-t and then a zoomed in shot with a man perched on the D-ts shoulder with a face splitting smile, uttering one word 'Ammaaaaziing!'.

Enter, Grandma bashing Chad and the Destructor-toid.

The "Princess Peach is a cockteasing bitch" logo on the shirt should be a mirror image since the drawing is showing the reflection in the screen of the arcade game that he is playing.

Unless of course the shirt was printed mirror so that you can read it when he plays arcade games...

@Namelessted

You're actually seeing Mr. Destructoid through the screen, which is why the pacman game is mirrored instead of him(you can tell if you look at the score at the top).

Mega Man must be involved in some way eventually. Either as the D-Toids sidekick or something else, but he should also have an immense fear of disappearing blocks.

Start off with the D-Toid bots face in an evil glow. Anger and frustration upon his face. It looks as if he has it out to kill every last human on the entire planet. Sweat dripping from his mechanical forehead.

Pan back to show he is getting his ass whipped in some hardcore Donkey Kong action.

This is going to be epic.

I think it should start with a noir-style flashback of Niero not being allowed into an E3 conference, going mad, and then starting construction on the Destructor-toid. I'm imagining it would lead to a parallel universe scenario where he builds the Destructor-toid to wreak vengeance on the game industry instead of creating the website.
