Interview with Kuro the Artist, Creator of Ben 10 and Danny Phantom Crossover Comic

Today I bring you an interview with Rob Orpilla, commonly known as Kuro the Artist, a popular member of the Ben 10 fandom known for creating the Ben 10 and Danny Phantom crossover comic, 5 Years Later. He also makes coloring pages, as well as merchandise with his designs on it such as t-shirts, stickers, cups and hoodies.

 
How did you get into Ben 10? Subsequently, how did you get into Danny Phantom?

I don't remember the first time I got into Danny Phantom, as it came out a little earlier than Ben 10 and I was relatively young. It was sometime during the first season as I remember a ton of the old commercials promoting the episodes. For Ben 10, the first episode I ever saw was A Small Problem, where Ben gets stuck in his Grey Matter transformation the entire episode.

Looking back, that was one of the weaker episodes, but even that was enough to get me hooked. To help promote the season 2 finale Back with A Vengeance, Cartoon Network aired a marathon of all the episodes that aired so far, so that is how I caught up. I saw every new episode when it aired since.

What gave you the idea of starting 5 Years Later?


Long story short, I wanted to produce a comic that had a more efficient method of editing and illustration that my previous work, and after drawing Danny and Ben for so long, I realized how much more there were to the characters than their networks have allowed them to grow, so I took it upon myself to give them justice. You can check out the full story on my YouTube video, 39 Facts About The Danny Phantom/10 Crossover.

Can I Keep It? Review

Today I'm going to review the second episode of Ben 10 reboot's second season, Can I Keep It?

The episode is about Ben wanting to get a pet, but his allergies to most common house pets prevents him from doing that. However, he stumbles upon a weird hybrid between a cat, dog and a rabbit, the Catdobbit. Now Ben has to hide his new friend from Grandpa Max and Gwen, but is the animal all it seems to be?

So apparently Ben is allergic to most household pets, like dogs and cats. I guess the reboot is lucky that it didn't show Ben interacting with these animals before or else they'd mess with the character. Max then says even if Ben get over his allergies, he hasn't shown that he's responsible enough to take care of a pet. Fair point, as he was shown to be preeeeeety immature throughout the series thus far.

Omni-Enhanced DIamondhead

Ben 10 Reboot Video Game is relased in Europe!

The Ben 10 reboot video game has been released in Europe. For some reason the trailer was released super late, but Bandai Namco Entertainment finally released a (pretty underwhelming) trailer for the game. 


The game allows players to transform into the original ten aliens in the reboot. Some alien aliens that makes their video game debuts includes Overflow, Stinkfly, Upgrade and Grey Matter, who now has a backpack to make him better suited for combat. 

The graphics are in a cell-shaded art style with outlines similar to The Legend of Zelda Wind Waker. Each alien will be able to perform an Ultimate move. The cutscenes, animation and graphics are really good a Ben 10 game and I like how lively everyone looks. The game can be bought for Steam, Xbox One, PS4 and Nintendo Switch.  You can watch the trailer here.

Out to Launch Review

Out to Launch is the first episode of season 2 in Ben 10.


The episode is about VIlgax hijacking a space plane for its powerful energy source. Ben has to stop him with a help of a new function in the Omnitrix.

We're introduced to another throwaway human character, her name is Betts McCabe, voiced by Cree Summer. She wants to pilot the plane but is disappointed that it is on auto pilot. Then Vilgax hijacks the ship and locks her in the storage room. Ben has to save her and get rid of Vilgax before he flies away.

The jokes in this episode isn't the best that the show has given us, and the pacing in it feels a bit fast. It seems like they wanted to show a bit more story but didn't had enough time. I'm really glad they gave Vilgax scars, not only does it show a sense of continuity but it also improves on his previous design that looks a bit simplistic around the head. The Upgrade Omnitrix looks really good from a far as well.

Ben 10 Reboot Alien of the Week: Diamondhead/Petrosapien

Last week we Cartoon Network showed off an Alien Worlds short featuring Four Arms' species, Tetramand. This week they showed off another one of Ben's alien species and planet, in this case it's Diamondhead's species, Petrosapien, from the planet Petropia.

Petropia in the Ben 10 reboot
Petropia is the home planet of the Petrosapiens, diamond based humanoid aliens that are able to reshape their body into different shapes. Fans of the earlier Ben 10 series would know Petropia as a diamond shard-shaped planet that was destroyed by Vilgax. But in the Ben 10 reboot, Petropia is now round like a traditional planet and has an asteroid belt surrounding it, making it resemble Saturn. The planet is made entirely out of diamonds and minerals, the surface is filled with technology devloped by Petrosapiens, such as flying ships and tanks. The tank resembles the Diamondhead tank that was showcased at the Playmates toy fair.

Ben 10 Alien of the Week: Four Arms, Tetramands and Khoros!

A new Ben 10 reboot short shows off Four Arms' species, Tetramands, and their home planet Khoros. Check out the video below. There is no English version yet.


 We got a look at the Ben 10 reboot version's of Khoros as well as Tetramands and their culture. While Tetramands in Omniverse seem to be roman-inspired, Tetramands in the reboot appears to be more barbaric. The Tetramands wear cloth and stone and use stone weapons as opposed to Omniverse's Tetramands that wore gold and black armor wields golden weapons, as well as being great at building engines.

NEW BEN 10 REBOOT SEASON 2 ALIEN + REBOOT VIDEO GAME CONFIRMED

A new alien has appeared in a short commercial for the Ben 10 reboot and is expected to appear in Season 2. His design was leaked from the toy fair with his figure, but this is the first time we get to see him in his animated form. His silhouette was briefly shown in the end of Omni-Tricked: Part 4.

Based on his looks, it seems like he is made of electricity. His color scheme seems similar to that of the Gladiator aliens seen at the Playmates toy fair as well.

In other news, an Adventure Time and a Ben 10 reboot video game has been confirmed for consoles in December. Both of which are being developed by Outright Games.
