Re: Greetings from Virginia!
I was huge into the Mario series as a kid, so when my mom found out there was a movie she let me know. She ended up recording one of the TV broadcasts onto VHS and drawing a cute Mario face onto the label. I still have it!

Thanks for posting this. I had hoped we could cover it to some extent. This and last year have seen so many national tragedies. It's hard to keep up. I just hope things can get better.

Great work, Carl. I'm loving the direction you're taking with this project. It's certainly the most original premise I've heard of thus far for a fan sequel. Keep it up. 
Also, I see that you added spikes to your Shy Guy-characters. Glad to see that!

Oh, okay. I'm glad to know you're not an incompetent speller! 
It's a nice poster. Combines some of the best images to represent the film, although I'm more a fan of simplistic and minimalist pieces. The original poster will always be best to me because it didn't oversaturate itself.

So, is Bowser still Daisy's father or a new character entirely? Also, stand-alone seasons traditionally don't work very well.

Re: Sequel comic
My major concern with the original jumpsuits were how loose they were. They just sort of hung off Mario and Luigi, which I always felt detracted from the overall design.
This update is more form-fitting. I can actually take Mario seriously now, so I can only imagine Luigi will look even better.
