It seems Ubisoft really believes this game is great and will be successful: hope we'll think the same about it as soon as we play it, because we decide...

We're building a section about the game where we'll collect all screenshots, reviews, patches etc, so you'll always be updated about it.

The new series will be called only "PK", and not "PK Duck", despite what previously announced. A simple and perfect solution, that should have been adopted from the start if it wasn't for american pressures. It's a recent resolution, obtained actually thanks to Claretta Muci's efforts, who had her tough going to give the new PK a more pleasant name. But how is it going to be? It's, well, a kind of experiment like "Ultimate Spider-Man"... so, a back-to-the-basics but with whole new and remastered stories. These WILL NOT BE REPRINTS: there will be a return to PKNA moods, but with unseen stories. Also we'll get back One and the evronians. The structure will be different from the present one, more similar to X-Mickey: every issue with two story, the longer composed of 48 pages and the shorter of 12. That's because the series will be relaunched in many countries abroad, maybe even in the USA (!!!), where comic-books are shorter than in Italy. The stories will become more close and dynamic, will self-conclude on every issue and present many returns of old characters. It is promised also a dramatic growth of plot's and drawings' quality: on PK will be back to work the greatest badasses of the artists like Cordara, Enna, Macchetto, Faraci for scriptwrits and Sciarrone, Rigano, Freccero, Ziche, even the old Intini (!) for the drawings (among all this God sake, hope they find some time to improve also the coloration). For those who are asking this, NO, the comic series WON'T BE the videogame novelization. And, that's a big news, THERE WILL BE NO MORE BERTONI! Indeed yes... some people will be destroyed, but the most readers will be happy at last!
Number #1 (the numeration will restart over again), on July, will be by Cordara/L. Pastrovicchio (long story) and Ambrosio/Sciarrone (short story).

Meanwhile there are still some investigations about the PK-videogame, also thanks to a great scoop by norwegian site Fantonald.com, that at the E3 convention succeeded in gaining four screenshots of the wished toy. You can check 'em here: www.fantonald.com/260502.html. Would you believe that even italian Disney redaction hadn't them?! That's always because Disney Interactive leaves us to die with hunger...
By the way, instead of initial promises, Ubisoft recently decided that the game will be released ONLY for Playstation 2 e Gamecube because "the graphics is too heavy for normal PCs..." a bit strange thing we'd say, because looking at the images you wouldn't tell such a thing (unless that's a beta or like that): the graphics looks simple and sweeten. But maybe that's just a wrong impression, people at the presentation said they were amazed... mah. Unfortunately this decision will probably exclude a big slice of users, like the most of us: many people who have a PC do not buy a consolle! Moreover the Gamecube is very recent and fans owning it should be really a few...
But don't loose hope, PC users! It seems that if the game will be successful also the PC version will be released in the future. It looks useless to encourage you to buy it ORIGINAL, not in a pirate version, both for correctness and simpathy towards your pkers fellows wihout a consolle =).
Also the gaming system looks changed, it should have been a FPS and instead now looks a third-person. Pk is also wearing some unseen outfits! Let's just wait for more and see...

We end this special with a super news: that's an exclusive scoop so shut your ears open wide... it seems Disney Interactive toghether with Ubisoft is seriously thinking about developing a WITCH VIDEOGAME! This news is all but sure, but really probable. A new global age is begninning for new-Disney series?

A couple of words about X-Mickey 999...
STOP NOW.
The first issue had some sense, but the second reached the last floor. I've never read a story such absurd and mad: horror books writers running around Manny's manor followed by stupid Pokemons... everything has a limit and this is that one! This is the world of RIDICULOUS, not the impossible. X-Mickey shows nothing of MM's heart and force. I did never feel so humiliated as reader, so this site will not deal anymore of this unbearable comic for kids, because it's too much out of our guidelines and the tastes that gave birth to us. Story end.

PKERS: Join the Sex Empire will reveal you how this site REALLY works... Silver is worried because the drawers lately are working too less, and so what's better than a nice ration of slashes from the steely Birgit for the poor artists? But as soon the latest artwork is out comes Mickey Mouse, asking for copyright bills... it is imperative to derat: that's a job for the Fifth-level Super Maniac-jin!!! For this story is also available a full text English translation.

Instead in PK: Quando il gioco si fa duro ("When the going gets tough") Pk will find himself face-to-face with videogame's greatest bad-asses... will he defeat them? Find it out reading this funny story!

There's another great exploit for Assirelli, bringing us 5 new fine artworks. Ending the fifth gallery there are two nice sketches of Hope, the mysteryous little girl met by Pk in Vittime di Guerra. Sixth gallery opens with a "underground" Korinna, and a full portrait of Tempest who, although is dressed, proves herself very sexy. Last one is his own interpretation of Jason/Kat, who doesn't need introduction anymore.
Unfortunately for the next month Assirelli will produce really a few, due to the school year ending with heavy classwork job. At the end of this period he'll be able to devote himself back to art, and probably in the future we'll present also something from him non-pk related.

Assirelli's not enough? So, here's a rich update of professional artists' unpublished art! In the unpublished art 3rd gallery you'll find 5 new pk-drawings by the popular Giorgio Cavazzano, Corrado Mastantuono and Claudio Sciarrone, nonetheless a new, shining, amazing computer-colored Lyla by our private Miracolator, the mighty Morpheu5! (waiting for Trauma Superevronian IV...)

This is a great issue for Bruno Enna/Daniela Vetro. The script is very good, keeping tight the attention of the reader with a sequence of unexpected events, humor and adult thematics. Enna's world looks very realistic. Daniela Vetro's drawings are equally awesome, very close in refinement and expressivity to Barbucci. Even the new colorist Marco Colletti proves honorable making a job that looks some better than Cagol. And also, very good-looking cover treatment!
PKERS' rating: 9/10

The last note's about this little picture in the preview area for the next issue. Maybe an erotic development in Cornelia's lovelife? The resurrected Caleb will prove himself much more VITAL than before? Looking at this pic the two lovers really seem naked! Is it really going to happen? We'll be in front of the newsstand on June the 3rd on early morning to find out...

Also, check the monthly editorial on Kandrakar.it (http://kandrakar.immaginario.net), like always!

The full story should be ready in some weeks, and successively will be out also in English version for all you non-italian fellows out there.
(talking about that... we're hard working on the translation of PKNA #0/2 - sorry for the much more delay than usual, but here there's everyday more work to do...)

There's a fifth gallery for Rita Micozzi, immediatly filled with 7 wonderful artworks: a portrait of Ken and one of Yiang (both characters of the usual Silverware - Vittime di Guerra), one of Jason a.k.a. Kat, Reportage's thief in a powerful version inked by Giwa, her teacher at the International School of Comics. Then we find a really lovely piece: a picture of Silver & Rita togheter in duck version (thanks honey ^^)! The gallery continues with another great picture of Korinna portraited as a warrior angel, with big wings and small armour covering her heavenly body 8). Follows another Lyla pic, this one inked by Giwa too, and at last a layout from a future Reportage plate where Stefan and Jason go on the undergroud - you ever seen a underground in Duckburg? Well now you have... -

But this week's main event in the introduction of a new PKERS' AUTHOR!
Flavio Naspetti is a realistic-style drawer enjoying himself making human versions of PK characters: you can see his first 4 works in his private gallery, they are all based on Rita Micozzi's Reportage.

Don't stand up! There are still 3 new drawings in Concept Art #2 by Omezziryu and Francesca Teso (the last one is inspired to Il Sapore della Notte - "The taste of the night" by Silverware).
