Other Metroid Comics

OTHER METROID COMICS

Today, let's finish up with all remaining Metroid comics that were more small little things with very little substance. The first is "The Shape of Happiness," a collection of comic stories based on Nintendo properties, among which are three Metroid chapters, the first of which feature Samus working alongside a green policeman named Mari Yoshimura #2. Yoshimura doesn't do much and ends up getting killed by a Metroid disguised as a bellhop (don't ask).

Next is a comic based on Metroid Prime, yet unlike its sequel, really just retells the story of Metroid Prime with no variation or additional characters. That's pretty much it for published comics, however, we should also mention that a Metroid series was also pitched three times to Archie Comics back in 2009, all three of which were ultimately abandoned.

And that's pretty much it! Here's what we've got so far:
