Hey Poptropicans – pages 8 and 9 of Mystery of the Map are here, which you can read below. To stay up-to-date with the series, you can read every page on Poptropica’s official graphic novel site area!

Looks like an interesting story so far! 😀

Over on the Daily Pop, many of the sneak peeks this month have been for the upcoming final episode of Arabian Nights – but in the mix is this character sheet for a bunch of Vikings (and what appears to be a dodo bird). Could this be for something entirely new? As Tiny Socks points out, this looks like it could be for an adventure (island? ad?) based on the graphic novel, since we’ve previously seen these characters in Mystery of the Map sneak peeks like this one or this one.

Norse Code: You won’t be liking these Vikings.

Just for fun: the PHB’s Daily Pop Sneak Peek Archive is a great place to peruse every single Daily Pop image and witty caption from over the years. 🙂

And finally, here’s the latest selection of featured Realms tweeted by Poptropica: a colosseum and house design by “ST”! They’re also interested in seeing (and sharing) fan videos of Realms like these.

Stay popping, Poptropicans. ^^

Mystery of the Map (p. 5-7), Jorge’s name, & more!

Salutations, Poptropicans! Omegon here- *takes off Omegon mask* Ugh, why did I resort to buying this thing off the convention floor? This thing smells like bad cheese. And I should know, I attend the World Cheese Festival every year, I’ve tasted 37 kinds.

Anyway, what’s popping, Poptropicans? Blake here, bringing you pages 5 through 7 of Mystery of the Map! Click to enlarge the pictures.

Interesting! Now, I’m assuming that our four heroes are entering the world of Poptropica? Looks like this is the origin story I requested from Poptropica!

By the way, for those wondering, the Creators pronounce Jorge’s name “hor-hey”, not “George” – but “you can pronounce it any way you wish”. 🙂

Stay tuned for more pages as they’re released!

In other news, the Poptropica mobile app recently reached 2 million downloads! Congrats! 😀

Also, Poptropica composer Jeff Heim recently posted the “Crystal Realm” soundtrack on his Soundcloud. Plus, keep an eye out for more of his music, because he says he’ll “be posting more from Realms over the next few weeks”!

Nice. Peaceful. Tranquil.

Lastly, there’s a new banner for Membership on the Poptropica homepage:

For more info on what it means to be a Poptropica Member, as well as some help on deciding whether it’s worth it, we’ve got a Poptropica Membership Tour right here on the PHB. 😉

Stay popping, Poptropicans.

Hey Poptropicans – page 4 of Mystery of the Map is here, and you can read it below! You can always catch up on this exciting new series over on the Poptropica graphic novel page. 🙂

mystery_of_the_map_4Next in news, a friendly reminder that Galactic Hot Dogs Island comes out this Thursday, February 19 to everyone! If you need help, we’ve got a written walkthrough with pictures right here. 🙂

ghd4Hm, what’s up with the whole “transported to strange lands” theme going on lately? 😉

Anyway, in all that excitement, the Creators haven’t forgotten about PoptropiCon, with its final episode scheduled for sometime in March. The plot description for Episode 3: Reign of Omegon was recently leaked on its Tour page, although it seems to be gone now – thanks to Brave Tomato for catching it!

pcon3 descSo that’s Omegon’s evil plan… well, at least he’s not trying to turn us into funky-toothed Poptropicans. Like in this Popstorm #15, titled “teeth”. (I know, great segue.)

popstorm15 teethStill saying aaahhh? Hold it; there are a couple more cool creations to behold – another selection of Realms, featuring a ship and a maze. “Interesting stuff going on today,” tweets Poptropica.

Stay popping, Poptropicans. 😀

edit: my 500th post! much wow. 🙂

Hey Poptropicans – the third page of Poptropica’s new graphic novel series, Mystery of the Map, is here, and you can read it below (or on the Creators’ Blog, where they’ll be posting new pages daily).

mystery_of_the_map_3

Wow. The kids are about to enter the whimsical world of Poptropica, but what could the sinister Octavian have dragged them in for?

If you missed the beginning, you can catch up on yesterday’s post, or the new graphic novel page on Poptropica’s website, which also offers this blurb about the series:

Mystery of the Map is the first entry in Poptropica’s epic graphic novel series. A freak thunderstorm during a hot air balloon ride rips brother and sister Oliver and Mya and their companion, Jorge, from the “normal” world to the dangerous, unpredictable, and mystical world of Poptropica. The kids embark on a perilous journey to discover the truth about this mysterious place… and the shocking reason they were brought here.

The first Poptropica graphic novel will be released in daily installments on Poptropica.com and social media. Readers will be able to follow Mya, Oliver and Jorge’s adventures, with each entry bringing exciting plot turns and new revelations.

Balloons and balloon animals alike are features of the Poptropica comics, and regarding an earlier sneak peek of the latter, it looks like the Creators are still messing around with balloon animals… but angrier. Not so cute anymore, huh?

And finally, have you noticed the new Realms banner on the Poptropica homepage? Congratulations to Speedy Pelican, Creepy Pear, Bronze Singer, Cuddly Knuckle, Spotted Fox, and Fast Lizard for having their creations featured! 😀

In the spirit of Realms, here’s today’s batch of creations tweeted by Poptropica. A treehouse with a basement, a smoky factory with a truck, and a windmill with a dragon… yup, they really are nailing it.
