Rovio’s artists are at it again, with yet-another comic strip to add background to the release of Angry Birds: Space! This is Rovio’s fifth comic, and can be found on the official Space website at space.angrybirds.com. The comic seems to loosely follow the “Origins” video short that appeared on Nickelodeon in March, so that video may be worthwhile to watch as well. The images are quite large, so clicking on the thumbnails will open each image in a new page.
If you have missed the previous comics, you can check them out here:
This one is my favorite yet… love the blue birds! According to the 3rd page, the black bird is named Bob?
I think it meant to say bomb and they misspelled
I agree. Easy mistake.
no no no because it wouldn’t make sense to say “whenever bomb blows up”. so now we know big bro bird is terrence, bomb bird is bob, and the mighty eagle is mightty (well obviously)
No, artist, I’ve already linked for you the tweet from Rovio. See below, please. His name IS BOMB.
THE RED BIRDS IS RED ,THE BLUE BIRD ARE BLUES , THE BIG MAROON BIRDS IS TERENCE , THE BLACK BIRD BOMB , THE ICE COLOURED BIRDS IS ICE BIRD
I like how Rovio referenced Seasons’ Cherry Blossom
Update to the comic, they also emphasized the character of the birds, very creative Rovio!
Sounds and looks like the daily activity here in the Nest. Don’t you think? Lol. :)
Heh very nice!I read this with interess!:):)
Agree. Think it is the best yet! Great job Rovio
“Keep Calm and Don’t Blow Up” What a great title for a book!
Such a shame that it rarely seems to work out…. :-)
Original is “Keep Calm and Carry On” from British WWII posters, never widely displayed until one was found in the 70s, if I’m not mistaken. Of course, any parody of that is funny.
Which reminds me that there’s such an app in the App Store where you can make your own “Keep Calm and Carry On” parodies. iTunes link is http://ax.itunes.apple.com/app/id424608294?mt=8.
i was laughing wen i saw the title of the book keep calm and dont blow up lol lol lol
Nice! Love the comics by Rovio!
Awesome Comic! Rovio
This is the best one of Rovio’s comics yet!
Nice comic – it seems to be following the animation video! :)
Since this was after Cherry Blossom and before Space, does that mean that when another AB: Season update is coming only the Green, White, and Orange Bird will be there/used?
I’m not sure I follow. The point of this comic is that only Red, Yellow, Blue, Black, and Terence were around when the wormhole entered.
What he means is that only the Green, White, and Orange birds will be in the next update because the rest are in Space.
I don’t think that’s necessarily true. You could have said no birds would be in any other app when the birds were in Rio. I don’t think we should assume an overlapping timeline.
It would actually be kind of cool… only the green, white, and orange birds…
KInd of like in The Big Setup where there is only the Boomerang Bird and Terance (Big Brother)!
isn’t the black bird named Bob?
I explained below.
I think this is the best comic so far!
Did anyone else notice that the setting is Cherry Blossom
From what I’ve noted, the design of the birds in this comic is closer to the originals. We may miss the art of those Spanish artists who made the previous comics. But I won’t mind as long as you follow the story.
BTW, I also note that those Spanish artists did some comic art for Disney.
Well, I just found out ComicUp, responsible for this comic, is also Spanish and has also worked for Disney as well!
Here’s the link to the official website: http://www.comicup.net/
Rovio has confirmed to me that “Bob” is a typo, and it should say “Bomb”.
“Bob” does sound like a cool name for the black bird. :)
Agree with Peatree!
Yep, very fitting.
Nice catch. This kind of typo can easily slip through :)
Ummm…where are the cherry blossom cartoons?
This is both Cherry Blossom and Space comics (I think)
I’m Korean.Sorry.
The only Cherry Blossom comic I ever saw was exclusively in Japanese.
This comic can also nod to surf and turf,because on comic part 2,the blue birds say that they found shirts that were WASHED UP ON THE BEACH!Surf and turf remembering!
Nice observation!
Where did you find the comic from? I don’t see it in any of Angry Birds official sites, was it made exclusively for AngryBirdsNest?
No, you can see it at space.angrybirds.com.
You know, Rovio takes a long time just to update something as silly as a comic.
Perhaps there’s a method to the madness.
I think that Rovio is making the new pages now, since there are no new updates in a while…
I wouldn’t be surprised if the new pages coincide with the release of the next set of levels for ABSpace! :)
awesome comic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! when the next page will be realesed? when is fry me to the moon coming out?
For both questions, we don’t know. Sorry…
maybe the new update comes the next week
Hopefully today,for the one month anniversary,or this week
yes, but I would still like to see them
You’ve been waiting as long as anyone else. Not a minute longer.
Wow!! Angry Birds Space comic.Finally,i can understand the story even more.
Say,when’s the Page 6 coming? Cauze i think they forgot about this comic
Can’t wait 4 it
I think they accidently wrote to be continued and meant, the end. Who knows? Could be just a cliffhanger, and maybe they just want us to watch the origins video to get more views. I don’t know.
This page has almost been abandoned. Who knows, maybe they are super busy for AA until they forgot this little comic strips, or maybe they halted this comic for a long time and distribute the rest of the episodes at once for a SUPER BIG SURPRISE!
I think they are releasing 5 a year.
Is there more Comics?
yeah.the links are at the top
No not the one in the top
Something tells me that they will never update this with new pages, since they just made the Bad Piggies comic. It’s a shame, I wonder why they forgot to finish this?
I send an e-mail about this to Rovio few months ago, they say:
“The remaining episodes will be released in the future, one at a time every now and then. Unfortunately we cannot give a schedule or a specific time when they will be released. Remember to check the site every now and then!”
Hopefully that was true…
