With a slight frown, Su Yun walked to the newsstand and realized that not only were there newspapers as usual, but there were also some comic books.
Su Yun casually picked up a book and looked at the person on the cover with a strange glint in his eyes. The person on the cover was very familiar. He was wearing a hoodie and the hood hid his face. More importantly, this person was holding a saber in his arms, and it was a wooden saber.
Su Yun was naturally not unfamiliar with this attire, but he was puzzled. Why did this attire appear in comic books?
The name of this comic book was also very straightforward: Macheteman.
At that moment, Su Yun felt that his brain was not enough. This immediately made him give up on the idea of going to the back mountain to train. Instead, he turned around and returned home to turn on his computer.
Su Yun first searched for the comic book. Soon, many web pages popped up. Only then did he realize that the comic had been quite popular recently.
The comic first originated in Northern Europe. The author was a 17 -year-old child. A child of this age might still be a little chuunibyou. Because of the news of Macheteman killing many people in a row, he created this comic.
Although it was only a short story and not serialized, it quickly became popular in Northern Europe after it was launched. Even this young author became famous overnight because of this. He became a widely known cartoonist among the young people in Northern Europe. His popularity even exceeded Marvel’s.
Macheteman, on the other hand, was directly linked to the real Batman in Northern Europe.
In the manga, Macheteman was a character who punished evil and promoted good. He was also a bit like a bounty hunter.
However, Macheteman’s target was only the bad guys, and all the bad guys would pale at the mention of it. As the popularity of the comics increased, Macheteman quickly spread to other places. Even China already had relevant printed products.
Although the popularity was not as high as in Northern Europe, everyone seemed to like the image of Macheteman in the comics very much. The more Su Yun read, the more speechless he became. He even found some peripherals and even related forums about Macheteman on the web.
“The Macheteman is too handsome. The only flaw is that it’s too short. Can you add a few more chapters?”
“A friend of mine is in Northern Europe. He said that Macheteman’s comics are based on real events. Is that true?”
“I also want to become a Macheteman. It’s so classy to hold a wooden saber!” “May I ask which country the Macheteman is from?”
The activity in these forums was not low. Almost now, there were still people constantly updating their comments.
The more Su Yun read, the stranger his expression became. He never expected that Macheteman would become popular in Northern Europe in such a way. Even China began to have the shadow of such comics.
However, they probably did not know that although there were some exaggerated embellishments in the comics, they were almost all drawn based on real events. Even the image of the Macheteman in the manga was perfectly portrayed according to the descriptions of witnesses.
Su Yun looked at the comic briefly, but he did not have the desire to continue reading. After all, when others read comics, it was comics. When he read comics, it was like an autobiography. With a helpless sigh, Su Yun turned off the computer. The world had really changed. There were actually people who Draised such things and even drew them into comics.
Su Yun’s other identity instantly became a popular IP in the 2D world. Furthermore, in Northern Europe, this IP was constantly expanding its influence. It was not just the comics. In the surrounding works, and even at some cosplay gatherings, there were always many people dressed as Macheteman holding wooden saber.
There were no news reports about Macheteman in China, and the popularity of this comic was not that exaggerated. But the comic of Macheteman was slowly spreading. Whether it could become popular or not was completely a matter of time.
Sure enough, in the next few days, news about the Macheteman comics almost increased on the Internet.
In some wide-angle programs that specialized in reporting on society, one could always see street photos. Many people gathered in front of the newsstand with a Macheteman comic in each hand.
What surprised Su Yun even more was that after he started broadcasting that day, he wanted to practice his saber and do some chores. However, the topic everyone was talking about was also Macheteman.
“Streamer, have you seen the Macheteman comic that has been very popular recently?”
“Brother Perseverance, this Macheteman is quite similar to you before. Didn’t you practice with a wooden saber before? This Macheteman’s weapon is also a wooden saber.”
“What did Brother Perseverance do when he applied for leave previously? It’s been so many days. Aren’t you afraid that we’ll unfollow you?”
“Streamer, cosplay as a Macheteman. I think you should look like one!”
“Or learn from the Macheteman and imitate a Macheteman’s livestream. It will definitely become popular! ”
Looking at these comments, Su Yun did not know whether to laugh or cry. Su Yun was also him, and so was the Macheteman. But now, everyone was praising the Macheteman to the sky, and even he was going to be reduced to imitating him?
But he was the Macheteman himself!
“It’s said that this Macheteman is based on real events. In other words, there really is such a person in Northern Europe.”
“That’s too handsome. The real Batman might be very rich too.”
“One person and one saber. So there’s also a martial world in Northern Europe.”
“Brother Perseverance, quickly contact the Macheteman. It’s better to acknowledge him as your master than to practice blindly here!”
As everyone knew that Su Yun had been practicing with a wooden saber previously, and coincidentally, the weapon the Macheteman used was also a wooden saber, many fans naturally began to incite Su Yun to become his disciple..
