PMATGA Comics - Under the sea
The following pictures and story belong to Delcourt Jeunesse Editions and Namco Bandai.
I have no rights over anything but the translations and the summary.
âUnder the sea" is the first long story of the second tome of the PMATGA comics.
Well, uh, if we want to be technical there, the title actually translates to "under the OCEAN". The thing is, I'm pretty sure the title might be a nod to the Disney movie "The little mermaid", because "Sous l'océan" is the french title of the song "Under the sea"...
Whatever, moving on to the story now !
We witness the gardener tending to the Tree of Life being spooked out by our three ghostly friends here, and he then rushed to sound the alarm. A few guards armed with blasters burst in and the boys dodge the rays with ease. So much so that they even taunt the soldiers (well at least Inky and Blinky are) !
But all of this is in reality a distraction, allowing Pinky to pour some drops of a suspicious liquid into the watering can.
As soon as this is done, they retreat.
After being told by the guards that the area is secured, the gardener then goes back to what he was doing : watering the tree.
However...
Whatever Pinky poured in was no good...
The Tree of Life was now covered with a very rare parasitic mold.
Betrayus had asked the ghost gang to do the dirty work, and they weren't proud, hoping Pac and the others would find a solution quickly.
If nothing is done within a few hours, the tree would die.
This is what the president told our young Pac-worlders. He also added that :
And so, our heroes dive into the abyss. The coral forest is dense and Pacster then needs to go out of the lemon rocket, still linked to it with a cable and keeping in touch with his friends via radio.
But it looks like nothing can go smoothly.
Spiral tries to bring back Pac, but one of the sharks bites and subsequently breaks the cable.
Pac is on his own.
Hopefully he improvised a lasso with the part of the cable he had around him to catch a jellyfish and used it to electrocute the sharks, making them flee.
Meanwhile, Cylindria had told him that the algae was just under him.
Tentacles... Why did it have to be tentacles ?!
... So thanks to the fact the Yellow boy still had a free hand, he gobbled down an Ice Power-berry, and it seemed like the anemone didn't like the sudden cold.
He also had the brilliant idea to use the Ice to go up quicker to the lemon rocket. (Because in case you didn't know, ice is lighter than water because of its density.)
And this is it for this story !
And now for the panel highlights :
Look at them. They only miss those 8-bits sunglasses !
But after that, well they wish they didn't have to do that.
Also poor Clyde looks tired.
Uh... this ice ghost has no arms. How did that happen ?
And this is it !
As usual, I hope you liked it and see you next wednesday !
Cordially, Idril.
