BONUS COMICS + MICKEY MOUSE MYSTERY MAGAZINE
Two great things this time: Aspargus32 has finished translations of all the missing bonus stories, AND zvbxrpl has finished the first issue of the very awesome Mickey Mouse Mystery Magazine. (Of course, Duck Avenger translations are still going on. But seriously, check out this bad-ass mouse!)
I love these people.

PKNA #19 - Absolute Zero
Main story translated by Banker, back-up story translated by Aspargus32.
Megaupload:
PKNA #19 - Absolute Zero
Bonus #19 - Burton LaValle

Bonus #19 - Burton LaValle
Big thanks to Banker for continuing to be awesome, and to Aspargus32 for doing the back-up feature. We're still missing back-up features on a lot of the previous issues, so if anyone out there feels like taking them on, I know lots of people will appreciate it.
Also, it only just occurred to me that most of the recent uploads have been CBR-files, and some people might have had trouble opening them. CBR is a format made specifically for reading comics on the computer, and there are are a number of free programs you can use to read them. Me, I use Comical, but I'm sure somebody in the comments can probably make a good argument for any number of the other options.
If you don't want to use any new software, CBR-files can be easily converted to RAR-files, simply by changing the name of the file extension - so you can just change "PKNA19.cbr" to "PKNA19.rar" and it will work.
I'll probably make some RAR-file mirrors one of these days, just to avoid confusion.

Man, remember the old days when we'd barely get through an issue in a month? Things sure have picked up speed around here.

A couple of useful links
We've been missing an upload link for #11, so I've finally gotten around to that. It can be found here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=I32B4EYD
Also some people have been having trouble with MegaUpload not working in their country, so I've made some MediaFire mirrors for the newly translated comics. I've already shared them in the comment section, but I thought it might be good to share them up here too.

NEW COMICS! Old comics! NEW TRANSLATORS! (and some heartfelt apologies)
Okay, show of hands, how many of you thought I was long dead?
ANYWAY - Hi, guys, I am so sorry for abandoning you. I went from having tons of free time to almost none at all, and it also coincided with me moving country - so I was quite distracted, to put it mildly.
But as it turns out, people haven't stopped working, as anybody reading the enormous comment section on the last post knows. But for anybody else:
Since I left, old and new translators have translated new issues, and are currently up to issue #17. Issues #13 and #14 were translated long ago over at www.immaginario.net, so those are here too,
The links:
PKNA #12 - Second Draft
PKNA #13 - The Darkest Night
PKNA #14 - Carpe Diem
PKNA #15 - Camera/Action
PKNA #16 - Special Maintenance
PKNA #17 - Shooting Star
Just to make it clear: I can't take credit for any of this, neither as a translator or administrator. When I left, these awesome people just took over the reins. But what I can do to help, is to send this message out to the people who joined our short-lived mailing list. I want as many people as possible to know that translating is still happening.
As for the old comics, here's a handy list of download links:
What else... Well, I'd like to apologize for leaving once again. The new translators seem to be running the joint quite well, but if there's anything I can do to help, administration-wise, they're very welcome to write. And I promise I'll actually respond, as opposed to what I've been doing these last few months.
For all I know you guys have already got a system in place, but if you don't, I might be able to help organize multiple translators.
Oh, and in case anybody wants to know: The font we used for most of our translations back in the day is called Anime Ace. That seems to be the most frequently asked question on my email, so I just figured I'd throw that out there.
The mailing list thing I will do tomorrow. And, yes, I promise not to forget and disappear.
Thank you for your patience,
Lord Birch

The site is stitched back together.
I've finally gotten around to fixing up the site, so the links now actually lead to something.
The removed pages are still gone - Disney's word is final in this case - but it's now a lot easier to navigate around the site.
And remember - the full issue download links were never removed. They're still available in the last post of each issue. So, you know... get them while they're hot!

Evronians for All Seasons, part 1
Tuesday, April 26, 2011
Coming soon: Evronians for all seasons
I'm currently working on getting some scans done (Who knew - it's a lot more work when you have to do it yourself (and don't have easy access to a quality scanner)) for one of my prized possesions, which I've never seen scanned before.
It's an illustrated, Italian calender (or PKalendario, as it's called) featuring the Evronians all year round, with all-original art. Ever wanted to know how an Evronian celebrates Halloween? Well, you're about to find out.
Rather than hurrying to get the first part ready here and now, I'll just make sure to have the art for the first 6 months ready by Friday. (I was originally planning to do it 4 months at a time, so it evens out.
But first: Here's a sneak peek of the calender with the first month's piece of art.

PKNA issue 11 - Bonus content
Mandatory Stop
You’re at the bus stop and a thick mist just swallowed the shop where you just bought the latest Duck Avenger issue whole? A giant duck-shaped shadow armed like a spear-wielding barbarian passed by instead of the bus? And that shadow is being followed by a small but determined shadow, wrapped in a classic superhero cape? If your answer to all of the above was yes, then the worst is yet to come. Look behind you: the creature could be behind the stop sign. Stay calm: all the creature is doing in Duckburg is… depopulating. And don’t just say that’s it’s doing it because it loves passer-bys. And most importantly, do not misuse the X-Transformer: the controls are set on the bradionic paralyzer.
------------------------------------------------------
Name: Urk
Activity: Hunter
Origin: Planet Earth, alternate universe
Body type: Enormous, but extraordinarily agile
Strength: Extremely superior to any human in our dimension
Look: Big, heavy, and apparently very mean
Vocal tone: Guttural
Intellect: He’s particularly sharp, with extraordinary deduction capacities
Characteristics: Determined, almost to the point of obsession. When he follows a trace, nothing can distract him, for any reason
Emotions: Limited. When he’s hunting he doesn’t let his instincts impede on rationality
Equipment: Energy spear
Goal: To return to his Earth. But only after neutralizing his prey
Catchphrase: “Urk doesn’t have friends!”
Weakness: He’s nostalgic of his village
Synthetic biology
The Creatures
The battle between the Viking Empire and the Manitu’ people from the other side of the Atlantic is one that’s been going on for centuries. But now things are changing. Definitively.
The laboratories of Thor’s children have created a living synthetic entity capable of penetrating through the natives’ defenses.
It’s called the Creature. It has one goal: To survive, and to devour its only nutrient: Time.
Its victims, whose chronal energy is taken from them, age quickly and grow weak in the cocoons the Creature captures them in. It’s extremely hard to stop it. It’s invisible to electronic tracking devices, and impenetrable to x-rays. Its body can’t be defined. Cold obscurity kept together by neuronal reactions, it’s some kind of blob held by a net, in which floats a mobile brain, which is impossible to track.
It’s a lethal enemy that learns from its mistakes and adapts to each different situation it faces.
Its preys are kept in suspended animation in synthetic cocoons, connected to the mother Creature through a mental net. The psychic-probes inside the cocoons suck out the chronal energy out of the prisoners, depending on the needs of the Creature. It almost works the same way as spiders with insects.
On Urk’s Earth there are no effective weapons against the Creature. The energy spears are just restraining measures. The Bradionic Paralyzer of the X-transformer, on the other hand…

PKNA issue 11 - Angus Tales part 1 / Announcement
As some of you have noticed, a lot of links on this site have been dead for a while. We've lost the first few pages of a lot of issues, and if you try to access them, you just get a dead end.
Unfortunately, it's not a problem we can easily fix, as the posts in question have been removed by BlogSpot, at the request of Disney. It's a fairly automated procedure, so I don't think we'll have lawyers breathing down our necks anytime soon, but just to be on the safe side, we are NOT going to reupload the pages in question. (BlogSpot made it clear to me, in a polite yet firm automated email, that if I simply reupload everything, they might have to shut down my account.)
Obviously, this was always a risk with what we're doing, and obviously the people at Disney are entirely within their rights. We can just hope that the fact they care, means that they might be getting around to PKNA themselves at some point.
So, what does this mean for us in the future? Well, we were always intending to take a step back from PKNA after issue #11, so it doesn't change THAT much. Still, we might slow down a little in the future - especially the very near future, as we try to figure out what to do next.
I've thought about setting up a mailing list, just in case this site suddenly gets shut down. (Hey, you never know.) We might not know what we're going to do YET, but it'd be a shame if we couldn't reach you guys when we figure it out. If you'd like to be added to that kind of list, just write to birch_PKNA@yahoo.com and write 'Mailing list' in the headline.
Any questions, just ask me in the comments. We're still figuring out how to deal with this situation, so we'll see what happens.
(But, hey, maybe this will finally get us to focus on translating the special features for the first few issues. Som maybe SOME good will come out of it.)
And now: ANGUS TALES!
(Special thanks to Murray who did the translating on this one.)

Writer: Tito Faraci
