Conn, Swagge n' Eddy (Comic)

Cover of Chapter 1

Conn, Swagge n' Eddy (later Conn, Swagge n' Eddy Rebooted) is a webcomic illustrated and written by vocaloid producer Syphn in 2017. The comic was made as a reboot of the Conn, Swagge n' Eddy series, with its own self-contained story and characters. In their entirety, only 2 chapters were completed, while the third one was left unfinished, ending the comic. It follows the story of three amateur crime-fighters Mr. Connman, Cooleo Swagge and Eddy, joined by a new character Eddie, as they venture out to put an end to a crazed artist whose drawings kill whoever look at them. The comic initially served as the blueprints for a reboot of Conn, Swagge n' Eddy, which eventually became Conn, Swagge n' Eddy Urban Heroes.

### Plot

#### Chapter 1

Mr. Connman and Cooleo Swagge hang out in their apartment, when a knock on the door is heard. As Cooleo reaches for the door knob, the door suddenly swings open, knocking Cooleo out. Through the doorway comes a new character. Connman draws his Cigar-Blade and engages in battle with him, thinking they're a threat. He accidentally hits Eddy coming through the doorway, who then introduces Connman to Eddie, the last student of the "Fight Fetish" clan. Eddy gets Eddie to wake Cooleo up, who then punches Eddie in the face as retaliation for knocking him out with the door. The two greet each other afterwards. Confused, Connman questions how everyone except him knows about Eddy, to which Eddy answers by explaining how since Cheese Ninja and Cooleo knew each other, they both probably hung out with Eddie before. Eddy turns the TV on to the news, on which the news anchor reports that former news reporter Ben T. Looney has gone on a rampage, killing people with his disgusting drawings powerful enough to melt anyone who looks at them. Eddy remembers his name and gets flashbacks to when he was in middle school, hearing from Cheese Ninja about how talented Ben T. Looney was and later being amazed by his work. Eddy comes out of his flashback to address to the team what they must do from this point on: they must find Ben and question him. Meanwhile, at Ben's palace, he's drawing at his desk when his henchman shows up to inform him that Conn, Swagge n' Eddy intend on confronting him. Ben takes this as an attack on his character and shows his drawing to the henchman, melting their flesh and killing them. Cheese Ninja teleports into his quarters to taunt and threaten him, then seemingly leaves. Ben is now confronted by Lord Marumi, who is upset at Ben for misusing her powers. Because of this, she decapitates Ben and runs out of the room. Cheese Ninja, hiding on the ceiling, watched the whole thing and decides he needs to warn the others.

#### Chapter 2

Connman, Cooleo, Eddy and Eddie are hiking on a mountainside in search for Ben. Eddie offers to teleport the boys to a new tailor shop at a town nearby. Cooleo accepts as well as Connman (reluctantly), but Eddy declines because "needles freak him out". Eddie teleports the other two out of there, while Eddy rests by a cave nearby. Thirsty he decides to walk toward a fountain of water in the cave, which he doesn't know is filled with "virus ink", a type of ink invented by Lord Marumi that can melt any person's skin. He pushes the button to release the ink and gets some on himself, prompting the villain who put the virus ink in the fountain, Manga Artist, to approach him. Eddy uses his overshirt as a bandage for his arm so that he can fight him without the use of his legs. He successfully kicks Manga Artist in the groin, but it was part of Manga Artist's plan to get him to melt his tendons on leftover ink on the ground. Overpowered, Eddy takes a beating from Manga Artist, who proclaims that Lord Marumi would be so proud of him for taking care of Eddy (he also wishes she would kiss him for it as well). Eddy however is able to get up and knock him back down the side of the mountain. The other three return with new looks, and Eddie hands Eddy a new coat tailor made for him, which he likes. Meanwhile, an injured and bloodied Manga Artist asks a passerby where he is.
