My adaptation of the God of Arepo short story, which was originally up at ShortBox Comics Fair for charity. You can get a copy of the DRM-free ebook here for free - and I'd encourage you to donate to Mighty Writers or The Ministry of Stories in exchange.
Again it's an honour to be drawing one of my favourite short stories ever. Thank you so much for the original authors for creating this story; and for everyone who bought a copy and donated to the above non-profits.
Testing the theory that Metroid fans will call basically anything “still better than Other M”:
A match-three puzzle game framed as performing maintenance on Samus’ powersuit. The final boss is a computer virus she picked up on her last mission because she forgot to update her AV software.
A cooking game set during Samus’ childhood as a Chozo ward following her parents’ deaths. The ingredients are unrecognizeable, and the recipes are written in alien script with no in-game translation.
A Banjo-Kazooie style 3D platformer starring the super-fast bird and those goofy wall-jumping critters from Super Metroid. Samus does not appear at any point.
A text adventure set in the aftermath of the second Zebes mission, where the objective is to successfully navigate the Galactic Federation bureaucracy and get paid for accidentally blowing up a planet.
A visual novel about a mission to an uninhabited world that turns out to be a wild goose chase. There are no Space Pirates, or indeed NPCs or any sort. The dialogue is all Samus talking to herself out of boredom.

I want to see another irken break into Zim’s base to try and find Zim’s weaknesses and/or kill him and instead find a bunch of objects that slowly reveal Zim’s past and just get weirder and weirder. It all takes place before Zim’s trial as well so things like the fact he worked with and was responsible for the death of Tallest Miyuki are completely unknown. So this irken is slowly going insane from learning weird facts about Zim’s past that get more outlandish as time goes on.
So it basically goes like this:
First object: Documents from Zim’s military training showing that he was promoted all the way to the rank of invader extremely fast, mostly due to his proficiency with explosives, incendiary devices and large vehicles. “Yeah that makes sense.“
Second object: An old labcoat from when Zim was a scientist. “That checks out, Zim did work as a scientist before he joined the military, so it makes sense that he would keep something as a souvenir.”
Third object: A PAK technician license that reveals that Zim was at some point, a fully licensed PAK technician and is still legally allowed to tamper with PAKs. “Kind of strange that Zim of all people was able to become a PAK technician, even stranger that he quit and became a scientist, which is lower in rank than a PAK technician, but not the weirdest thing ever.“
Fourth object: A letter that reveals that Zim was in line for a promotion to head scientist, recommended by Tallest Miyuki herself, dated a couple days before Miyuki’s death. “Definitely raises some questions, like why Miyuki would ever personally recommend Zim for anything and why Zim would ever join the military if he was going to be promoted to a high ranking scientific position. Maybe there were no other options. Maybe he was just a really good scientist.”
Fifth object: Proof that not only did Zim work directly with Tallest Miyuki, but was actually personally tutored by her in various sciences, technically making him Tallest Miyuki’s secret third apprentice. “This fact hits you like a metal chair to the back. It explains some things, but it also reveals that MIYUKI HAD A SECRET THIRD APPRENTICE AND THAT APPRENTICE WAS ZIM. And it only gets more insanity inducing when you think about how Miyuki’s other two apprentices are THE CURRENT TALLEST.”
