Introducing Character Deck Duel, A New PvP Mode Arriving in Yu‑Gi‑Oh! Duel Links!

Posted on by Leave a comment

Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. has announced a new PvP mode is now available for Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links. It’s time to Du-Du-Du-Du, Du-Du-Du-Du-Du-Duel! alongside your favorite iconic Duelists in Character Deck Duels!

Duel against each other using Character Decks, designed with the primary goal of providing an easily accessible Duel Links PvP experience while allowing players to battle in a way that reflects the playstyle of each character. These new Decks come with fixed Skills and cards that represent the specific character and can also be used in both PvP and PvE modes.

The Character Decks are designed to give players a guided introduction to each character’s signature playstyle. Dueling in this new mode allows Duelists to earn Respect Orbs, a special reward item that is based on their performance rating and can be exchanged at the Trader for cards and various other items.  Duelists can trade in Respect Orbs for a Grade Star which increases the Grade of a Character Deck. Increasing the Deck’s Grade allows Duelists to replace up to a maximum of five cards based on the Deck’s Grade.

Nine characters will receive their own exclusive Character Deck: 

  • Yami Yugi
  • Seto Kaiba (DM) 
  • Joey Wheeler (DM)
  • Jaden Yuki
  • Zane Truesdale
  • Yusei Fudo
  • Jack Atlas
  • Yuma & Astral
  • Reginald “Shark” Kastle

Each Character Deck can be obtained through a lifetime mission that is automatically completed when you acquire the corresponding character.

Pixie Hollow prequel Wings of Starlight debuts on WEBTOON

Posted on by Leave a comment

Fans of fantasy and romantasy have a new way to return to Pixie Hollow. Wings of Starlight by Allison Saft is now live on WEBTOON as a manga series, marking the first-ever visual adaptation of the bestselling prequel novel set in the world of Tinker Bell.

It’s been centuries since a warm-season fairy in Pixie Hollow has crossed into the Winter Woods, and while most fear the legends of monsters lurking in the frozen lands, Clarion, can’t help being intrigued by Winter’s stoic beauty. But under the watchful eyes of the current monarch and the court’s seasonal ministers, Clarion has little time to dwell on daydreams while the days to her coronation dwindle away. That is, until reports of a monster crossing from Winter into Spring make their way to the palace. But instead of finding a monster at the edge of Winter, she finds Milori, a young guardian of the Winter Woods. Together, they form an unlikely bond as they race to save their lands. But as their alliance warms to something more, they will discover there is a reason a warm-season fairy and a winter fairy must not be together. And the cost could be just as deadly as the monsters that prowl the Winter Woods.

Wings of Starlight was created by Saft with the Webtoon adaptation written by Stacy King and featuring art by Alice Borganit, assisted by Sara Cerutti, Claudia Cocci, Alessia Montagner, Rachta Lin, and Gianluca Grasso, and adapted by Arancia Studio.

The adaptation brings Saft’s emotional storytelling and richly imagined magic to life through lush artwork and WEBTOON’s immersive vertical scroll format — and readers can experience the full story digitally before the physical graphic novel arrives later this year.

The first three episodes are now available on WEBTOON.

Welcome to our revamped “Crowdfunding Corner” rounding up some of the latest crowdfunding news. We’re going beyond just announcement projects, we’ll be tracking to make sure these projects get delivered as well as what we think the “risk” of backing them are.

We’ll be updating the format as we get a better handle of the needs of this sort of coverage, so stay tuned and check out the first round of projects!

The Objectivist

THE OBJECTIVIST

Publisher: N/A
Creative Team: (w) Curt Pires (a) Alex Diotto, Luca Casalanguida (c) Mark Dale (l) Micah Myers (ca) Jae Lee
Launch Date: Launching soon
Risk: Medium – With the first crowdfunding campaign, it’s always worth some caution, there’s a good chance it’ll likely miss its expected release (a common issue with first campaigns)

Curt Pires, the comics trailblazer behind Galactic, Lost Fantasy, and countless other celebrarted works has announced the Kickstarter campaign for The Objectivist, a 140-page original graphic novel with art from acclaimed artists Alex Diotto (Lost Fantasy, Indigo Children) and Luca Casalanguida (Lost Fantasy), colors from Mark Dale, and lettering from Micah Myers.The project features haunting covers by Eisner Award-winning artist Jae Lee.

The Objectivist follows an isolated vigilante whose grip on sanity unravels as he mounts a one-man war against corruption. His journey quickly spirals into moral freefall when the foundations of truth that have fueled his blood-splattered crusade begin to crumble. The resulting narrative sucker punch weaves thematic and visual threads ranging from The Question, Sin City, and Batman: Year One to Steve Ditko’s Mr. A.

Fans can sign up for The Objectivist’s mailing list at the link below to receive updates when the project will launch. The graphic novel will be released in a physical hardcover as well as digitally on the digital comics and manga hub, Neon Ichiban, with detailed reward tiers to be announced closer to the Kickstarter launch.

Docking at the forest-world Orobos, Ishmaeel’s drunken misstep delivers him into the hands of the fanatical priests of Dakon — zealots who demand blood sacrifice to feed their abyssal god. To save him, Quee-Keg and Rolloh must descend into a nightmare of smoke, stone, and tentacles, where faith is madness and monsters are very real. Friendship, fury, and survival collide in the shadow of a living god.
