I saw most of the series 1 comics at school and the store, but the first one I got for myself was issue 12. It sucked me right in, and then it ended right with that cliffhanger with Lewis coming out of hyperspace to all those enemy warships. I was hooked and kept up with the seires after that. I ended up getting a pretty big collection nof probably 50+ comics around high school. Not sure what ended up happening to them. Probably sold them for college tuition, but I don’t remember. What I’d give to have them all back now…

Issue 12 was great. I had started buying the comics a few issues before, but that one really was a classic. It’s good you got into it when you did ,because after that the Galactic Tournament arc started, and I can’t imagine jumping into the story at that point without reading at least 12.

It sucks you don’t have those comics anymore. I actually had the Comic-Con special edition for the first issue signed by Joe Mansfield.

Item #: SCP-4614

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: All instances of SCP-4614-1 are to be taken into Foundation custody and transferred to Site 91. Contained individuals are to be kept in a standard cell. Under no circumstances are contained individuals to be given access to the Internet except when authorized for regular monitoring of SCP-4614’s effects. Site 91 to be presented to the public as a regular mental health care facility.

Instances of SCP-4614-1 are to be discouraged from discussing Neo-Realm, with every reasonable measure taken to distract them from focusing on it with another film, comic book, video game, or whatever else their focus can be successfully transferred to.

Description: SCP-4614 is an anomalous shared delusion experienced by a growing percentage of Internet users. (Such individuals are dubbed SCP-4614-1.) The average instance of SCP-4614-1 is male, Caucasian, a citizen of a developed Western nation, and between 20 and 40 years of age. Instances of SCP-4614-1 believe that, as children, they were fans of a non-existent multimedia franchise known as “Neo-Realm.” Affected individuals, whenever accessing the Internet, are strongly inclined to visit “neorealm-fc.com”. To the unaffected, this URL gives an error message; however, affected individuals instead perceive that they have reached an unofficial “Neo-Realm Fan Club” forum site, and will spend the next 2-4 hours scrolling, clicking, and typing while looking at the error page, believing themselves to be engaged in discussion about the Neo-Realm toys, TV series, comic books, and video game.

Interviews with SCP-4614-1 instances has revealed that all of them perceive the exact same website, and posts typed by one affected user are able to be read, word-for-word, by other users who have not interacted with them. In other words, among the affected people, the Neo-Realm Fan Club functions like a normal, non-anomalous website.

Through these interviews, a basic outline of what Neo-Realm was in the minds of these individuals has been established: originally launched in Japan in 1988, Neo-Realm Defenders of Tomorrow was an anime TV series accompanied soon after with video games, toys, and comics. A theatrical film, Neo-Realm: Genesis was released worldwide in 1996, introducing the franchise to the USA. The franchise was cancelled in 2001, but brought back in 2003, only to be cancelled permanently in 2011.

NOTE: The preceding description of the history of Neo-Realm has been created exclusively based on the testimony of SCP-4614-1 instances and cannot be corroborated by any other source. If this description resonates to any degree with any memories you hold, please report to Dr. Tach as soon as possible.
