If your main concern is appealing to the average westerner, then Black RX or Ryuki are your best bet, as there's a small chance they'll recognize them as Masked Rider and Dragon Knight. Outside of that though, just do whatcha feel. Though if you're taking votes, I feel as though mine should be obvious(either Kuuga, or OOO).

Yeah, it's not so much Broad Appeal (that's what the American superheroes are there for), as it is a mix of trying to figure out if I should go with First Rider or Favorite Suit or Something Else; and just generally wondering what other fans would pick in my situation, which one suit would they want a favorite artist to draw.

OOO and Kuuga are good picks!

c) Except this one! But I get your point about it.
If I could tie you to a chair and make you watch one episode of Showa Rider, it would be the first episode of Black. I really do think it's the best opening episode in the franchise.

d) Months? At the rate I'm going, I'm not sure I'll get to it in 2021. Hibiki to Thanksgiving, Kabuto until March, Den-O until probably June (so many movies!), Kiva until August, Decade is a special project that'll probably last until November, then I'm watching the Heisei Legend Rider movies, Zi-O... Zero-One is, like, mid-2022. If I keep up this pace.
I know a way to be done with Hibiki both more enjoyably and about 19 days earlier. Just saying.

Talk to me about this in 2023.

If you think that’s annoying, most of those movies have things that require you to be some way into Decade. (And there’s on where Kiva appears, but there’s so many contradictions with Kiva the actual show you don’t have to have seen it before watching that movie).

Those Den-O movies thankfully don’t really have anything to do with Kiva or Decade beyond glorified cameos so you could watch em just fine. If you’re doing things in order though I’d probably recommend saving them (and especially save episode yellow). But yknow what, we’ll cross that bridge when we get to it.

I've got an insane decision to make, and I need a little help from you all.

I co-own a comics shop in Chicago, and we've got some very fun window art by Chris Giarrusso. It's been up for a while, and, due to the physical constraints of reality (believe me, I know), it's time for it to be replaced. Here's the current version, to give you an idea:

https://challengerscomics.com/images...engers-162.jpg

(that's one-third of it)

We're going to be working with a group of artists that are, hands-down, my favorite artists working in comics today. We'll be giving them a small list of characters that we'd like to have portrayed, and then they'll do a ton of their own picks. One of my picks is going to be a Kamen Rider.

But which Kamen Rider?

My current options are:

a) Kamen Rider Ex-Aid (base suit). My first Rider, the one that started this journey for me.
b) Kamen Rider Wizard Flame Style. My absolute favorite suit, and it matches the store's colorscheme.
c) Kamen Rider W CycloneJoker. There're two of us that own the store, and I love that series.

Obviously, this is something that I'm going to have to figure out on my own (with this being so subjective), but I'm curious what you'd pick if you had the chance for your favorite artist(s) to draw one Kamen Rider for you.

Thanks in advance for your help!
Advice: Do a main Rider. A secondary Rider or someone else might be more obscure. Also, main form as well so that people searching up the Rider would have an easier time researching it on the web.

Kamen Riders are not as 'mainstream' as superheroes in the U.S., and it's a bit easy to get carried away.

I'd love to see one of my favorite artist's draw Build, Zero-One, Ichigo or Kuuga. Of the choices for your shop, I think Ex-Aid would be best. He's definitely the most attention getting, and it sounds like he means the most to you too.

Good advice! That said, we are not above slotting in some obscure-ass characters just because we like them. The winged dude in the middle-top of the third panel? That's Aztek, the Ultimate Man, who appeared in a ten-issue DC series in the late 90s. That was a requested character. He's not exactly Batman!

I was really thinking about Build, too! It's such a sweet design. I feel like I'd have an easier time leaving it up to the artists, and just giving them a short list of which Heisei Primary Riders I wouldn't want. (Fourze, Gaim, Blade, Kabuto through Decade)

DreamSword 10-17-2020 11:28 AM
Actually, idea. Put in either Decade or Zi-O. Then you'd technically have every Heisei Rider at once!
