awakeintheashes Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I've enjoyed the book on the whole, there is skill on display, both in the writing and the art...but it is a cold read. A bit clinical. There's not a lot of fun. That would be my main criticism. But again, there's clearly been a lot of thought into the construction of the story, so I'll stick it out for at least a while longer. I get what you mean about the book lacking the "fun" aspect. It's still a good read, though. I'm quite partial to the title, but Think Tank has the all the fun and the smarts. Probably why I like it so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mishmashman Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 This is a great read. Will read very well as a trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(thumbs u on all counts. That sounds pretty much like what I said back on issue #2. With those caveats stated, it's a unique title, I do love the creative thinking and richness of detail that goes into it, and it seems like it's building towards something cool. So for now I'll continue to give it a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So for now I'll continue to give it a chance. Yup, it is nothing if not ambitious. But there needs to be some payoff soon. That's the only way this reads well as a TPB. The first trade can't be all set-up. There has to be a balance between the title's creative ambitions and commercial realities. We shall see.

comicalgems Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 I sold ten 1s in 9.8 less than two weeks ago for $675 on eBay. Really wanted to hold longer but needed to free up cash for some other stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazborg Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 First page of #5. I thought the purpose of writing in scientific notation was so the number were all greater than or equal to one and less than 10. Why write 1.35*10^3 m, but then also write 560 m instead of 5.6*10^2? You're right about scientific notation, but its also sometimes convenient to make sure the power of 10 is a multiple of 3. When using SI, to make it easier to read off the number using metric prefixes. If memory serves, this is called "engineering notation". yep, nerd here, Bazborg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james1miller Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 I bet the fan art contest won't get a lot of entries. So if you're good you should enter. Looks like they're not really advertising it. Good luck if anyone gives it a shot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james1miller Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 BIRDMAN! BIRDMAN! sorry had to get that out. For the contest go to page 529 of this thread or NWM tumblr or E S tumblr. I think they're making it easy to miss. So far I've only seen that one picture with the details on page 529. I know it's not a lot to go on and it doesn't say where to tweet the art exactly. I don't know if E S or Nate have twitter but image comics does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james1miller Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Check Jordie Bellaire twitter. I guess she's doin it. So send the art to her I guess. She's got a message on Nate's twitter too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
