All right, it’s time to solve this mystery.
Whilst prowling Biomedia project a few years ago, I found that the scans of the fourth Bara Magna comic had four new pages I had never seen before:
(Pages 5-8)
I have the original version of comic that I got with the lego magazine, and it does not have those four pages. Pages 4 and 9 are on the front and back of the same page, so there is nothing between them.
However: while the comic is the same number of pages as all the other ones from 09, the centerfold ad is actually off-center. However, it would be in the center with the two missing pages(four front-and back).
I also have Graphic novel nine, and can confirm it does not have these four pages either
Also worth noting is that the narration is different. In the Biomedia scans, Mata Nui introduces himself in the four pages. The physical version I have has him introduce himself on page 10 instead. The graphic novel, however, has the same text as the biomedia version, despite missing the pages biomedia has. This would indicate that Biomedia’s version is legit(i.e. it wasn’t just drawn by a fan to fill in the gap).
Anyone know what happened here? Anyone else have the comic and can shed some light on this issue?
