For this month’s Spotlight, we are presenting to you the work of Isabel Braman on a fanzine celebrating 35 years of Metroid and fans of the series. Featuring many artists, musicians, writers and more, the Metroid35 zine shows how much the adventures of Samus Aran have influenced people over the years. Isabel also discusses her love for Metroid, how the zine came to be, and even some plushies she made based on characters from the series.
Metroid35 Zine
Our Thoughts
Isabel put a lot of work into what I think is a great way to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the Metroid series. It’s incredible that she managed to bring so many people together! I like that it features a variety of fanmade content, and not just illustration, it’s a good idea and makes it a bit different from what we are used to see.
I have so much appreciation for what Isabel organised to mark Metroid’s 35th anniversary. A zine that promotes the fan community and celebrates a milestone anniversary for Metroid is a really cool idea, and I am thankful that she was able to pull it all together. Ten years ago to mark the 25th anniversary, I worked closely with a publication to do something similar, and I understand just how much time and effort goes into something like this. Isabel, you have my respect!
