Bionicle comics pdf download

While the issues released in are not officially listed as an arc of their own, issues detail one cohesive story: the adventures of the Piraka and Toa Inika as they seek out the Mask of Life on Voya Nui. Issue 0 does not contain story content. The "Sea of Darkness" run takes place in and around Mahri Nui. These issues' covers lack the BIONICLE Ignition name, but they are nonetheless listed here as part of that series because their issue numbering continues from where the "Sea of Darkness" numbering ends.

Greg Farshtey returned as writer, with series newcomer Pop Mhan as illustrator. These comics' covers do not indicate they are part of an official arc. They relate the struggles of life on Bara Magna and Mata Nui's experiences on that world.

Several of these novels also contained exclusive one-off comic issues. A lot of the Bionicle comics, particularly in later years, portrayed the exact same events as those in the novels. These titles were chosen by votes from the Bionicle community, as the best titles to represent each year of the story as a whole.

You may have heard the volumes of this collection referred to with different names — they used to have different, one-word names created by me, but after a lot of feedback I decided to open it up to the community to choose new titles. The main obstacle to doing them sooner was that there were a few other major updates I wanted to finish first, as any changes I make after adding new formats will have to be added to that many more files.

So to make my work load lighter, I made all the changes I had planned first, before I started making new formats. Please reach out to me, either at turaganuva crosswiredgeeks. The chapter number is also helpful if you have it. Honestly, an oversight on my part when making the site. Yes, there was — unfortunately, as the project progressed, maintaining Word docs that each contained all 10 Books became unsustainable saving them and converting them to PDF practically crashed my computer.

I read about pages, and scanned through the rest, though I plan on reading more. That said, I can tell that you're a perfectionist at least in regards to this project , and the care you've taken really shines through.

The one thing I noticed is that it's kind of difficult for me to go from chapter to chapter when I don't know what it is that I'm reading. Sometimes it's a serial, sometimes it's a book, etc. I found it a little frustrating that I didn't know where the text of any given chapter was from, especially when you took the care to put everything in order. Perhaps those more familiar with the text than I won't find this a problem, but I'd love a little more in terms of labeling.

Would it ruin your "chapters" mentality, though? I don't know. There are a few small other things that you may want to consider including. The "Legend of Lewa" comic may not be canon per se, but when asked about it, GregF essentially said, it doesn't contradict anything, so why not? I probably would have made some slightly different editorial choices than you, but these are little things.

If you ever feel like working on yet another alternate version, I have a few ideas on a version of the project that I'd like to see, and, of course, I'd be happy to help out in any way that I can. Otherwise, I'll just enjoy the thousands of pages you've given us. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Truly incredible. My idea, if you wanted to label things without adding additional text ie. But maybe that would be too difficult?

I've made PDFs containing every text- and audio-based piece of canon Bionicle fiction, plus any comics with story material not included elsewhere, in an ideal reading order. Text-Only: No comics. Has the canon version of the Shadow Toa fight. Text-Only, Hapka version. Text-Only: No comics, or animation screenshots.

No Animations: No screenshots. Includes text from Journey of Takanuva, rather than scans. Includes text from Early Reader books, rather than scans. Standard there are no comics in this one. First of all, the blank page should be gone now. Thanks for letting me know! If you do get the chance to write down what any of those typos were, I'd really appreciate it. I understand where you're coming from with not labeling the sources of each piece of text.

Also, the story as it was already switches perspective pretty often Destiny War features concurrent sets of characters, in varying locations , so I didn't think it would be that problematic to have it switch a little more. I guess my thinking was that I want someone with no knowledge of the original, separate stories to be able to read it, and not have to feel like they need to worry about what came from where.

I briefly considered including the Legend of Lewa, but is there an English translation of it? I could only find the original. I should probably put a list of everything included in each volume in the first post. Please, let me know what other alternate versions you'd like to see this goes for anyone else reading this as well! I can't promise I'll have it done quickly, but I will do my best to put together different versions that there's enough demand for.

I hope that covered everything. I'm really glad you like the project! It's taken me a long time, but I think it was definitely worth it. I would of thought it would be 'Bionic Chronicle' instead which makes so much more sense since the vast majority of the characters are mostly mechanical. I've assumed that the name is because the story is sort of about a body undergoing a disease even if that body is actually robotic.

But yeah, for years I thought Bionicle came from the word bionic. This is truly amazing. It's one thing to be able to read all the novels again I didn't buy them when I had the chance and I don't think my library has all of them anymore , but I imagine reading them with all the serials woven in really elevates the experience. I have yet to read it thoroughly, but it looks beautiful and I'm very eager to start binge-reading it when I have the time.

I can't imagine how much time and effort this must have taken. And I love how you've created so many different versions to accommodate different preferences. Thank you so much. Out of curiosity, have you considered sending this to BioMedia Project? It would make a great addition to the fan projects section. It's one thing to be able to read all the novels again, but I imagine reading them with all the serials woven in really elevates the experience. Thank you! I thought of sending it to BMP, but last I checked they're against posting digital versions of the chapter books on their site.

You have done a massive service to the Bionicle fandom TuragaNuva, and I'm glad I got to be part of this project. It's definitely a great way for old fans to go through the entire story, conveniently gathered in one document, but also an easier way for new fans to jump in. I particularly like the way you included even the Hordika search for the mask of light-episode screenshots. Kinda reminds me of some of the promotional Lego comics from the late 90's, which had little text but a lot of stuff happening in them.

Thank you , man! My biggest obstacle to accomplishing this was getting all the books typed up; it was a daunting task that I felt like I would never be able to finish. I've wanted to make this compilation for years, but you sending me your work is what pushed me to finally do it. I'm incredibly grateful for your help. This is absolutely colossal. This is a huge service done to the fandom around Bionicle, and ensures the survival of the lore in its most complete form.

We cannot thank you enough for the work put into this. Stone rocks I write for New Elementary. I realized some people would probably want to see them, so I've added a link to my notes at the end of the first post.

They show the rough final reading order though there may be some late changes that I didn't write down. I'll try to put together a more finalized list of what all is included and where, but this should give you a pretty good idea. There is indeed; it was published in the Lego Adventures magazine in the UK back in , which I used to have every issue of when I was a kid - and there was a Tahu comic in the subsequent and final two issues, too.

Regrettably, I only have the magazines with the first two parts of the story in now; but if it would help, I can scan those for you. I'll also see if I can find the remaining three issues anywhere, too, for completeness sake. Ebay might help me there, I think.

Sure thing! They were issues 30 - 34; each issue had two comics in, with the Bionicle ones being in the second half of each issue. The magazine was released monthly, so those issues were, respectively, September - January Aw man, thanks so much for the scans!

I've been hoping the English version would pop up since I translated the Russian version back in the ancient year of I hope you're able to track down the other issues, I've never had any luck finding them. Knowing there's an unseen Tahu comic makes me really wish I had!

Was his about mask hunting too? If I remember correctly - it has been maybe fifteen years since I saw the comic - the first part of it had him meeting Jala, and having a brief run-in with a Muaka, before Jala led him to Ta-Koro And in the second part, I seem to recall him saving Ta-Koro from a lava flood; and then the final two pages were composed of a set of individual panels, each showing a different one of the Toa and where they were at the time.

With this and Darth Jaller's scans of Parts 1 and 2, I'll start looking into where this could fit in the compilation. Thanks so much to both of you! I'm just starting to look through the PDFs. Everything looks really clean and thoughtfully organized. I love the chapter logos! The text and comics are beautifully interwoven. I'm almost afraid to ask, but how long did it take Toatapio Nuva to type up the chapter books?

Also, would he consider releasing those texts in a format that's easy to read into a program, like a word document or HTML file?

PDF is okay but not ideal. That would be an invaluable resource. The iconic "You are not the first Toa" scene has been left out. I think it works much better if you leave it in. First of all, an update on the Legend of Lewa comic: sadly, I don't think there's any way to fit it in so that it makes sense. When we first see Lewa in Tale of the Toa, he's swinging through the jungle, not able to remember anything other than what he thinks is his name. This doesn't really work with him meeting Kongu and learning who he is immediately after exiting his canister.

So, I'm thinking it won't be getting added. Where did you get those beautiful scans of Challenge of the Rahi? Editing as I find more things Oh my gosh. Thanks so much for all your feedback! Let me try to address everything here that isn't just simple typo fixes which I will get fixed ASAP :.

Whew, I think that's everything. I'll try to get all the simple fixes done today, and everything mentioned here fixed before Monday. Thanks again for your feedback! I have to say, I agree with Planetperson about comic I feel like that last page just has too much impact not to be included. That being said, I have yet to actually start reading this, so I may be missing something. I really need to be more active.

It refers to having gray hair Okay, I'm not numbering these since several of your points don't seem to need a response, so I'll try to make it clear what each bullet is responding to:. Decadence might work at the beginning of , too. I'd prefer The Exile's Tale be moved away from the beginning too. Can you color over the page numbers in the Level 3 readers? Also, the lines caused by the spine of the book don't look good.

Can I suggest covering it with a black or white bar, separating them like panels in a comic? It might be appropriate to include some of the story summaries from bionicle. The fall of Tajun comes to mind. I don't think the actual battle is described anywhere else. Just when I was thinking that I'd really love to binge read the Bionicle books after finishing catching up on JoJo but there was no PDF version I could use to read on my phone at college.

Thank you so much! Hey, planetperson, would you mind sharing some links to the archives where you've found these summaries? I'm still working out what to do with Decadence and possibly the other stuff currently at the beginning of Book 9.

Hey guys, sorry it's taken me a little longer than I expected, but here are my current thoughts on the arrangement of ' This would put The Exile's Tale right after Malum's escape from the Skrall, Fall and Rise of the Skrall right after the chapter that first mentions the Baterra, and Decadence right after Tarix and Vastus agree to join the fight against the Skrall. Please share any feedback you have; I'd really like to know people's thoughts on this before making any changes.

Oh, and Planetperson: the clone stamp tool would indeed be super helpful, but sadly I don't have Photoshop. Still, I'll make my best effort to edit out the page numbers. I'll try to have that done ASAP. This is so much better. That was true about the story at large scale too.

Also, I had exactly the same thought about Secret of Certavus, but I'm not sure where to put it. Since Berix and Gresh are introduced in comic 1, putting Certavus after comic 1 with the caption "Earlier" might work If you just put something before Certavus so that it's not the very first thing to introduce Bara Magna, that would be great.

I thought some of the text from the website might help, but I don't think it flows that well. Mata Nui's first diary entry would be great, since it shows him still traveling through space, which is where left off. I'm also not sure about how I might edit in an "Earlier I'll definitely take a look at those journal entries when I get home.
