KING MEGA UNICORRRRRRRRN AND THE UNICORPS
MAGI-SCIENCE PROTECTORS OF THE GALAXY!
FIGHTING DARKNESS, SCARY FEELINGS, AND INEXPLICABLY HUGE MONSTERRRRRS!
GO HORNÂ GO!
HOVER-TEXT: King Mega Unicorn could be one of my favorite things ever.
How did you channel the 80s so perfectly in a single panel?
Well done Brian. Evil Sam has just been replaced by King Mega Unicorn.
Now, to have this voiced by Optimus Prime.
That is now forever stuck in my head.
Can’t say I expected that to pop up in Carlos’ head, but like the man said: We all have our secrets.
Make a t-shirt. Make a t-shirt NOW.
What MegaBee said! This is pure liquid AWESOME! ^_^
This.
Make the t-shirt! Take my money! NOW!!
T-Shirt nothing! Make a whole damn toyline!
I just checked the store and was quite disappointed to find that King Mega Unicorn is not a thing yet. 🙁
MKU is my spirit animal.
I uh, have no words for this surprisingly.
kinda reminded me of….
W… wh… what did I just watch?
Concentrate of 1980s. A fine vintage.
I don’t know… The rainbow and key-tar quotient was a little low for an 80s cartoon intro. The flamboyant shirtless dude levels were sufficient, though. Needs more cartoon lens flares, as well.
Did the song remind you a little of a-ha “Take on me”? Looked like Reno 911 meets Voltron meets Thunder Cats, bad guy reminded me of Mumm-Ra, meets my little pony meets Care Bears.
You just described half a dozen cartoons. Mighty, Mighty Orbots, any one?
You forgot SilverHawks….
what is this i can’t even
So he definitely transforms into a unicorn. I already imagine that the cape becomes the most majestic mane of robo-unicorn mode.
Ok we’re gonna have to see this
Hahahahahaha this is amazing, made my week
If I win the lottery I will fund you to make an animated series out of that middle panel.
Okay Brian we definitely need more King Mega Unicorn. At least an aside with him once in a while if not his own semi-ongoing series.
Perhaps someone is channeling a little of the new Netflix Voltron series? 🙂
I guess sometimes a No-Context Theater image just cries out for some context…
When d20monkey finally ends, I am looking forward to The Adventures of King Mega Unicorn webcomic.
Here’s what I want to know…
Was this in Carlos’s mind?
Or was it one of the other players? And if so – which one. Because – damn.
On Point.
xD
I’m guessing it was in Carlos’ mind. He seems to have a nostalgia for this sort of thing, as evidence by the whole “Mr. Gentleman Sugar-Coated, Horseradish Mini-Crabs” bit at the beginning of the Harsh Reflections arc.
Well, I’m going to be singing this around the office all day.
So his Confidence is the King Mega Unicorn
I didn’t get any sleep last night and I saw this before I had any caffeine, so I had to refresh the page quite a few times to figure out I wasn’t hallucinating this.
The combination of a Transformer with a Green Lantern and My Little Ponie!
King Mega Unicorn is my Queen inspired Thrash metal band.
Unicorns are metal!
Put it on a shirt!
Why is King Mega Unicorn not a web-comic/movie right now!!! I would watch the crap out of it!
“Be a Uni-Can, not a Uni-Can’t”
*slow clap builds to STANDING OVATION*
Brian, you are fucking insane, I love you, never change, and I think I ruptured something laughing! Good job!
Yes, I would make KMU a series. In a heartbeat.
Ok, who has not channeled for inspiration a 70s or 80s Cartoon? This is likely the most unexpected turn I have ever seen in a comic (other than Captain American being a NAZI :()
I had two almost simultaneous reactions to this.
#1 What the actual fuck!?
#2 For the love of the gods tshirt this!
(Yes, I verbed tshirt. You got a problem with that?
Actually… Is “to verb something” a universally accepted term yet? I honestly don’t know…)
Yeah, verbing something is fine. Has been fine. Verbing weirds language.

I’m reminded of that ‘Be an Optimist Prime, not a Negatron’ motivational image…
Hey, if it bolsters his confidence, he can think about whatever he needs.
Bingo.
…
…
…
I’m just gonna keep on passing’ by.
You do you.
I am quite willing to pre-purchase ALL eleventy bajillion (minimum) series DVD/Blu-ray/direct-broadcasting-into-people’s-subconscious/whatever technology, merch, bonus features, one quinquatrigintillion (an actual number) movies, as well as all spin-off series, audio CDs/direct-broadcasting-into-people’s subconscious/whatever technology, and a whole bunch of other semi-related stuff just because 🙂
Any way you could post the 2nd panel without the text please? I need a new avatar!
I can do that. Give me a little time and I’ll make it happen.
Thank you, sir!
Thank you!
This is the shit ! 😀
Love it!
Um, just to ask, what happened to the First/Previous/Next/Last comic buttons? Wanted to see if I’d missed any, and had to use the archive.
“In Brightest Day, in Darkest Night, no self-esteem issues shall escape my sight!”
(re-posting from G+)
This is fantastic! But as Pmattheus said, what happened to the buttons?
Comic Easel update broke them. Annoying. Working on a fix ASAP!
Is that Carlos’s inspiration, or the spirit his character is bonded with?
*furiously writes notes about Unicorn-Robot-Patron Warlocks*
Wait…. what just happened?
That. That just happened.
Is anyone else confused by Space Stallions that one of the “Stallions” is a women?
All this needs is a wav file with Peter Cullen [optimus primes voice actor for all you young’uns] speaking King mega unicorns lines and it would be pefect.
…not that it isnt already perfect
My love for Carlos knows no bounds. I applauded when I read this (I’m at work, so not actually, but I did in my head).
I am reasonably certain my brain just made that stock foley sound of a record scratch.
Duuuuuuuuude! WHat drugs did you take to make that, I want some!
ZOMG! IDK what I had more fun reading… the panels or the comments!
You guys!
I am a Uni-Can!
what no one seemed to recognize was the fact he is member #7759. There are almost 8000 people that joined that club.
Well, Carlos seems like the sort of guy whose self esteem issues are so bad that even in his own head canon he can’t be number one to anything. It’s likely a combo of being a part of something that is long established and stable, therefore unlikely to dissolve, and that number having some significance in his mind.
