Can you believe that there's enough of us AdamXSamus shippers with enough creative juices to make not one, but two zines?! Our second just came out! Due to a busy year, I wasn't able to contribute much this time. Maybe for the third~~

I'm very excited to present our second-ever zine celebrating Samus and Adam! So much love and hard work went into making this possible, and I am so honored to have been a part of it. Happy 40th Anniversary, #Metroid !!! adamuszine.gumroad.com/l/two_across...

Although I lost my save file (save your game in a separate slot before the endgame, folks!), I had a lot of fun with Metroid Prime 4! I'll play it again soon and get 100%! But for now, I'm channeling my leftover energy into making some spoiler-free, low-effort Metroid comics.

A 3 panel comic. In panel 1: Samus, on her motorbike, buzzes past a green energy crystal, thinking "whoops"

Panel 2: She swerves to try to hit the shining gem, but misses. She thinks "C'mon..."

Panel 3: Samus is driving donuts, yelling "Why can't I hit this rock?!" The crystal is in the middle, unmoved, untouched, moisturized.A 3 panel comic. Panel 1: A Lamorn (an alien creature with gills like an axolotl and 4 arms) says to Samus "Chosen One... To navigate our world, you must open your third eye..."

Panel 2: The Lamorn plucks a googly eye sticker from a sticker sheet.

Panel 3: The Lamorn sticks it on Samus's forehead, with a 'boop!' sound effect.Panel 1: A Galactic Federation soldier says to Samus "Samus! I'm a big fan!"

Panel 2: With sparkles over their head, they say "I even have your trading card!" They hand Samus a card that has a picture of her on it, Justin Bailey style, with green hair and a magenta onesie that leaves little to the imagination.

Panel 3: Samus stares wordlessly at the card...

Panel 4: She thinks "Who am I gonna hafta sue...?"Panel 1: Samus in her blue/yellow/magenta fusion suit, fighting off some yellow X parasites. The text says "This is Metroid Fusion"

Panel 2: Adam Malkovich in his blue and white general's uniform, lifting a struggling Samus up by the scruff. The text says "This is also Metroid Fusion"

Panel 3: Samus in her green Metroid suit, biting Raven Beak's head. The text says "This is also Metroid Fusion"

Panel 4: Sylux placing a Metroid on a Space Pirate's head, who is sweating. The text says "This is also Metroid Fusion"

Okay, so I'm gonna overexplain this joke! Panel 1 depicts the setting of Metroid Fusion, but Panel 3 and 4 depicts Metroid Dread and Metroid Prime 4. Dread, like Fusion, Samus becoming more Metroid-like in her DNA. And in Prime 4, Metroids are literally fusing with creatures to make them crazy or whatever. Panel 2, which depicts Metroid Other M, has many similarities to Metroid Fusion the game, although no Metroids are fused with anything. There's many story beats, tropes, and characters in Other M that are lifted right out of Fusion. Hence, some people describe Other M as 3D Fusion.
