Looks like it happened as far back as October 29th, but I didn't see any news about it. I didn't even hear about it until today.

Ethan and Lucas are now gaming superheroes. They throw controller boomerangs at ninjas who use the RROD as their symbol.

Someone new is doing the coloring. Art still by Buckley.

Edit: The reboot works in story arc format. The example posted is the latest update. It is not a self contained joke.

 

[JaseC]

It's even worse than before.

 

[Jamix012]

And I assume that famous strip will be posted here in 3...2...1

. . . Seriously?

This is in some area between morbidly fascinating and sad to watch.

 

[L Thammy]

Wouldn't this be the second retooling, then? He previously killed of Ethan in favour of the Player 1-4 characters.

 

[The Technomancer]

You know the "annoying things gamers say" thread should just have been "anything from a CAD comic"

 

[KittenMaster]

Would this be the 2nd reboot?

 

[Regret Upon Approval]

Uh, you sure that it is an actual reboot or something?
I think having arcs is pretty common for long running series.

I'm not savvy with this series but didn't it have a console wars arc that dragged on for a long time.

 

[Begaria]

I was enjoying The Four Player and random gaming comics he was doing before the reboot. Then the reboot happened and I haven't enjoyed any of it, so I am no longer going to read it.

 

[Diablohead]

i actually forgot all about CAD until now.

[The Technomancer]

Controllerangs? Really? This being Buckley I'm honestly not sure if that's meant to be self aware or not

 

[gogojira]

Saw the popularity of super hero movies, wishes he could get his own deal.

 

[Zen_Arcade]

At least the art looks better then the last time I saw CAD.

What happened before was a pretty definitive end.

 

[Valtýr]

I don't understand what the joke is.

 

[OrlanisWorks]

I like the coloring.

 

[The Technomancer]

I don't understand what the joke is.

THEY'RE FIGHTING GAMING NINJAS. THAT IS AWESOME BECAUSE GAMING IS AWESOME AND NINJAS ARE AWESOME. DO YOU GET IT?

It strikes me as if Buckley came up with an idea for a cheap one-off joke, then said "okay let's do this now".

 

[Reg]

Would have been funnier with a Genesis pad.

Thought the same thing at first, so went back to find out. Apparently it is. Found this.

[Deft Beck]

These superhero versions of Ethan and Lucas have been around for a while. This is just the newest incarnation of them.

 

[JNA]

Does he still "draw" like this?

 

[G-Fex]

this is the lamest thing I've seen.

You have to literally go out of your way to be that fucking lame.

 

[chugen]

Spoiler

LOL

 

[Foffy]

The art in terms of coloring and shading has gotten better.


..Yeah, that's about it.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Can I expect a reboot of his most famous comic?

 

[Nanashrew]

But why...

 

[Ezalc]

What the hell ever happened to that stupid penguin and the linux guy.

 

[The Real Abed]

I don't get it.

Also, still no sign of "that webcomic". GAF is showing restraint.

 

[Scum]

Well, that was pointless.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

"Controllerangs all up in your business"

These are actual words that somebody wrote.

 

[Pudge]

This isn't even interesting, it's just kind of sad.

 

[SZips]

Have you never seen the animated shorts that were made?

..Yeah, that's about it.

He hired someone else to do that.

 

[Onion_Relish]

It would have been no great loss if he had never done another comic ever again. Sadly, it looks like this abortion of a comic is due to continue onward.

 

[Serrato]

The 4 Players comics weren't all that bad, some had even actual good puns and or actual meaning. And then he started this. I still don't know what's the point of this.

 

[Veldin]

I forgot this existed. I was happy.

Why did you remind me, OP?

 

[Spaghetti]

speaks to how irrelevant gaming webcomics are now (CAD especially) that nobody on here noticed for a whole fucking month

For someone who has been Internet famous for a good while, that guy sure doesn't have a lot of YouTube followers.

"Controllerangs all up in your business"

And youll never be able to unread them.

 

[SapientWolf]

It's even worse than before.

That's not even possible.

10 seconds in and I'm embarrassed to have ever played a video game.

 

[Saintguine]

I'm at a loss for words.

I hate everything now.

 

[Hexa]

I don't think its a reboot. They do mini stories sometimes. Or maybe it is. I don't know. I hope it isn't. It's bee pretty weak so far.

 

[jwk94]

this is really bad and i usually enjoy their comics.

You know, I never tried to watch one of these for more than a few seconds before. I wonder if he actually suggested that the animators make the backgrounds keep the no effort MS Paint look. Also, why does this feel like a rejected Family Guy episode?

 

[fleck0]

I'll stick with pure pwnage for my gaming ninjas.
