Scott and I will be at the New York City Comicon Oct 8 – 11th!

For reals! Look, there’s even a banner.

We’ll be in ARTISTS’ ALLEY at TABLE E2. Come and see us! We’ve got Atomic Robo Vol 1 – 4 trades and T-shirts for sale and I think buttons for giving away. You can buy original art and sketches from Mr. Wegener and watch me be useless!

We’ll be signing at the Midtown Comics table Saturday from 5 to 6pm!

See you there, folks!

Or else.

Front Mission without the detailed mech — I mean WANZER — customization or the turn based stategery is just Armored Core. But dumbed down.

And, I mean, okay, they were not going to release a game that’s one-half spreadsheets, one-half CSPAN crossed with alphabet soup, and one-half mechs WANZERS plodding their way through turn-based tactical grids.

So, it was going to be this or it was going to be nothing. And the game has a few charming ideas, but eh. This is a Big Robots game from From Software. These guys know their game isn’t going to appeal to the mainstream. I can’t help but think they shouldn’t have just accepted that, embraced it, and gone for a real Front Mission experience.

Called out to Dallas unexpectedly for the last week hot on the heels of my parents visiting the previous week. Blah blah blah, point is I’m coming home tomorrow and we can finally get back on track with HIKYM. I think we’re going to switch up the schedule to Tuesdays and Fridays so there’s a more even pacing than getting a page on a Friday then almost immediately that Monday only to wait all week for the following Friday. I dunno, my theory is that waiting for Tuesdays will be a better weekly experience.

Look at all that Radiant Silvergun coming to XBLA. Get that.

Check out this six-page preview of Avengers and the Infinity Gauntlet #2 written by Lee Black and I.

Expect new HIKYM pages to start up again next week. Been hanging out with my parents for the last few days.

Read a bit about it here. There was also a banner floating around PAX so this is a thing that’s happening.

A new EDF, Dynasty Warriors 7 rumblings, and Space Marine, hmm? Looks like next year will contain more carnage per square inch than any other year in the history of mankind. Possibly combined. And if EDF and DW7 finally get online co-op, about half of that carnage will be from me personally.
