Today our journalists had the chance to talk to Rocky George, one of Technicali's strikers! You can see what they talked about HERE:
AND there's a new quiz up! Ever wanted to know which Super League coach YOU'RE most like? You can find out HERE:
And I wanted to thank everyone so much for reading and enjoying the second Grimm interview! I wanted to make a separate post shouting out the bands I used to create Snake Bite's song list [noooo I did not make the music myself, but I chose songs from some bands I realllly really love, what I thought would fit Snake Bite, and what resonated with some characters most!] Definitely recommend checking everyone out and listening to their other songs!

Thank you once again, as always, for taking the time to check out Supa Stars! :]
Join Maci for another interview about Grimm! This time, they're interviewing a local Feratuvian band who goes into depth about what it's like being a newer Grimm fan, what the indie band scene is like, and possible life brewing within the Cauldron...?
MAN, I really wish we had access to the older comics, so we could see what Supa Strikas was like before they started to put more emphasis on the animated series…
So anyways, here’s a drive of some old comics I scanned a while ago and compiled into their own PDFs on my Supa Strikas focused Google Drive.
Link to the drive here!
In collaboration with @strike-em-down, we have an archive of a bunch of old comics that haven’t been seen online before! There have been some panels here and there, but I can say with full confidence that for many of the panels we’ve seen, the archive will have the comics that came from them. As well, these comics from the folder are going onto the Supa Stars website! Please check it out!
There are 38 comics in the drive, with 4 comics that have been seen before. One of them being Own Ghoul (#119), and the other three being Building Spirit (#89), Just Desserts (#97), and Trapped! (#98). The last three mentioned were scanned and translated by @nenemii, but I will say that the version that Nemi has scanned is very different from the comics I scanned, seeing as some panels are missing from Nemi’s version.
(Nenemii's scan on the left, mine on the right)
I do believe Nenemii’s version is different because it was released in the Philippine Star, which is a newspaper, so it had to be condensed in a certain way to fit in the newspaper.
Speaking of condensing, you will see that most of the PDFs have the word “compressed” in the title, and that’s just because when I originally made a PDF for each of those comics, the data was so high that it didn’t preview the cover page properly in the drive. So I apologize if the quality isn’t up to par, as well for some of the pages looking off. When I was scanning the comics, some of them were kind of fragile to handle, and no matter how many times I tried to straighten the page before scanning it, it still always came out a bit crooked.
Also, a lot of the comics will have the same ads that repeat in certain places. While I had thought about not scanning every page with an ad, I do believe in the preservation and archiving of old media. I also believe this gives the reader an idea of what messages were important to Strika Entertainment back then, with ads such as road safety and getting tested for HIV, I’m sure these comics were mostly aimed for kids, but they definitely also targeted the adults in the family too (especially with the amount of Spurs restaurant ads in every comic). There are some comics that have a double spread that isn’t an ad or a contest, but I felt I couldn’t skip those either.
Either way, this is something I didn’t think I would be able to do, let alone think this could ever happen in my life time. Ever since I became a fan of this series, I dreamed of reading these older comics, but also to re-read some of them. Back before the website was changed to fit with Moonbug’s branding, there was a time when the website would put up the comics for everyone to read.
And I loved them all! I honest to god wished some of those comics became episodes, like one of my favourite comics Rooftop Shake Up! (#95). I do believe this is the comic that got me interested in looking more into the series, while the Communication Blok episode from Season 1 is what made me a fan.
I want to thank Strikes for being the one to encourage me to join them on this endeavour, because while I didn’t have hope at the time, they had that optimism and hope that I couldn’t turn away from. And I also want to thank Shirls ( @yanxioustrikas ) for going over the comics with me and them, to make sure nothing was out of place, upside down or duplicated in the PDFs.
And I want to thank all of you guys for taking the time to read this post, along with Strike’s post. I’m very excited to share these with all of you, as I know many of you have been wanting to see what the older comics looked like. This is the proof of their existence, and I hope you all have a wonderful time reading them all.
Also, small PS...
I made another drive folder that is basically a Master List of all the comics that we, as a community and fandom, have found. This has the comics that I have scanned, and the comics from another Google Drive, including those from the website before it got taken over by Moonbug.
I was the one who actually found those comics from the website, back when it had the yellow background and everything. I had them in their own folders with their separate pages, but I have compiled them into PDFs for easier reading. The one thing I do not have in there are the comics that were translated from Hebrew, from the Supa-Stars website. I still need to get the files, but I will be adding them into the Master List folder in due time.
Here's the link to it! Share it with others if you'd like, along with the other other link too. I feel like this kind of day has a been a long time again and once again, I am ecstatic to share this with all of you.
using emdashes and semicolons always gives me a mini heart attack because its dreadful to realize rhat there is, in fact, no other alternative than to carry the risk of accidentally sounding like chatgpt
my favorite ship... i gotta think about that. i'd say i love a lot of dooma ships but my absolute favorite is a tie between doomatic and doomgaan lol
this is less of a silly headcanon and more of an unrealized idea but i've always imagined rasta in a "salt and pepper diner" animatic, as in that one standup show john mulaney did. idk maybe he was a bit of a prankster in his youth
thanks for the questions! feel free to ask whenever
I didn't understand half of that but my favorite ship is Tiger x North and I like to think both Tiger and Klaus have a shared obsession for an obscure restruant chain no one else knows about
