Chapter 653: Return
In the period leading up to the resumption of Steel, others in the studio took time off work to attend to their own personal matters.
Gao Hang and Liu Rui had already met their respective parents and planned to get married next year, but they were frightened by Shen Xin's words two days ago, so they immediately went home to apply for a certificate and held a wedding.
Shen Xin and Xi Muhan wrapped a big red envelope together and gave it to the two of them.
The assistants were busy with their own affairs, and Shen Xin was also not idle.
Since he wants to draw "DN", he also has to read some corresponding reasoning comics, so that his thinking gradually turns to "DN".
Yan Fei brought him some works of evil comics, Shen Xin flipped through them a few times, and suddenly found Su Han and Han Ye's "Crime and Punishment".
The main character of this manga also uses a notebook called "The Book of Prophecy", which is somewhat similar to the style of "DN", and at that time it also had good results in "Comic Future", which at that time was considered the pillar manga of the magazine.
Shen Xin took out a morning to read "Crime and Punishment" again, and carefully analyzed this comic.
This comic has some things in common with "DN", such as both are evil comics based on reasoning, and the cheats are all notebooks, which is considered a genre.
As for other aspects, there is basically no similarity, and there is more than one "Crime and Punishment" with notebooks as the golden finger, but such works are very rare and not very famous.
As for the impact on DN, it is not much. It's like a daddy's urban or comic, you must have a cute daughter, or like a system science fiction text, there must always be a system.
However, it is not excluded that after the serialization of "DN", someone will compare the two comics, just like on Earth, there was a time when some readers would compare "Giant" and "Big Sword".
Shen Xin is not worried about these, he can't stop drawing comics because the subject matter is similar, and if there is a topic, there will be popularity, which is not a bad thing for him.
In addition to asking Yan Fei to help him find and comics, Shen Xin also asked Wang Wenhong to help him take pictures in various places in Hongchuan.
"The police station? Hotel? High school? University? Mr. Shen, the span of these places is so big? Wang Wenhong blinked his eyes and smiled wryly.
"Well, because I'm not sure which buildings to use as a backdrop."
The background is a modern comic, it is best to refer to the actual building, considering the plot of the comic "DN", Shen Xin may have to make changes to the scenery, but these preparations can not be completed overnight, and can only be started in advance.
Wang Wenhong swore to the sky that he was not optimistic about the "evil comics" in Shen Xin's mouth - "Game", which ended last year, in his opinion, was already the ceiling of evil comics, but so what? Compared with "Steel Refining", both popularity and sales are far behind.
Shen Xin was very helpless, and he couldn't explain it clearly to Wang Wenhong, so he could only pretend not to see Wang Wenhong's expression for the time being.
By the time "Steel Refined" was serialized, he didn't have the energy to take care of these things anymore, so he could only do some preparations before that, and when he started painting in the future, he wouldn't let others feel too abrupt.
As a result, Wang Wenhong had to carry a camera on his back and drive to all corners of Hongchuan to take pictures.
A few days later, the 31st issue of Comic Future was launched.
On the cover of the magazine, it was written that "Steel" would be serialized in the next issue of the magazine. At the same time, each magazine has a scratch card, and readers can stitch together the feature code on the scratch card to read the comics of volumes 1 to 17 of "Steel Forge" for free, with a period of 24 hours.
Because of this news, the 31st issue of "CF" was out of stock for a while, which surprised the editorial department of the magazine and once again appreciated the popularity of "Steel Chain".
However, readers are not particularly convinced, although they are given 24-hour reading rights, but the free time is too short, and many people complain.
"How is it possible to read a manga in one day? It's so picky! A large number of readers left messages under the official WeChat account of "Comic Future".
"That's right, no matter how you say it, it will take three days to see it all."
"It's just 17 comics, and it's only five or six hours at most, and you can finish reading them."
"How is that possible? "Steel Forge" has a lot of hidden clues, and you can't understand it if you only read it once. ”
"I've only seen the anime of "Steelcore", is the anime the same as the manga?"
"It's the same, but the manga has some details that the anime doesn't have, so if you want to know more about "Steelcore", reading the manga is indispensable."
"You can use the app to watch "Steel Refining", although it is a good thing, but the price is not cheap, a copy costs about seven or eight yuan. It's finally free, but it's only for one day. No, two more days! ”
"A few more days!"
After an afternoon, the official Weibo of "Comic Future" finally "couldn't stand" the "complaints" of readers, and posted another Weibo, episodes 135-137 of "Steel Forged" will be free on August 17/18.
Although they couldn't extend the full book of "Steel Forge" for free, it was a victory for readers to make the latest three episodes free and acceptable to readers, in a sense, but they soon discovered a problem, out of the two free, there was no volume 18. In other words, if you want to see the manga of volume 18, you must buy a single book.
There is no such offer in Zone 11, but since there is also a D version in Zone 11, these D version websites are hosted overseas, just like Huaxia. Therefore, even if "Shonen Leap" hates the D version to the core, it is impossible to affect the D version in a short time, and in addition to condemning, it can only try to negotiate with the location of the server, but the progress is slow.
On the occasion of the imminent resumption of the publication of "Steel Forge", some readers picked up the comics and revisited the previous plot, or bought the BD of "Steel Forged", two or even three brush animations, and some people read the latest content of "Steel Forged" through the D version.
After two months of silence, the characters in "Steel" reappeared on the forum in District 11, and netizens also began to discuss the follow-up plot of this comic.
Since "Steel" has not been released in the United States and Europe, and there is no sale of animation rights - it is said that there are already video companies discussing with Orochi about the introduction of "Steel" animation - so the response of readers in the United States and Europe is not very timely, but even so, there are still many readers who are happy for the re-serialization of "Steel" and promote "Steel" in major forums.
In anticipation of all parties, the 32nd issue of "Comic Future" has finally been released.
Readers of "Steel Forge" came to the bookstore for the first time to buy magazines. On the cover of this issue, the Elric brothers, Zhang Mei, Scar and others are drawn, and in the middle of the magazine, two big words are printed - "Return"!
