Spaceships! Splosions! Drama! Irony! I like it.

Re: Has anyone here NOT read this?

Well, I read it but am not a huge fan. The poser-generated digizombie look of the characters is grating on my (obviously perfect) aesthetic sense. And the plot seems to be a bit like a rehash of Firefly. But it beats reading manga-inspired trite I suppose. That, and actually, like, working.

Re: Has anyone here NOT read this?

Not bothered about comic strips. Don't know why, just never a huge fan. Maybe because it seems too easy for some people to make certain characters almost hugely overpowered (yes, I'm looking at you Marvel/DC)

As long as we're suggesting online comics...

I'd likely go insane if it weren't for webcomics...when things are going right at work, it's BORING....

I don't think it's the use of Poser, but the lack of realism in posing the figures, coupled with some less-than-expressive faces most of the time...

Re: Has anyone here NOT read this?

I didn't say it was pretty. I said it was awesome. Well OK the spaceships are pretty AND awesome.

Re: Has anyone here NOT read this?

Speaking as someone who's used art software (those characters are probably Poser characters) for both ships and characters, I can safely say that it's easier to get ships right than characters.

I've considered doing a web comic myself, but lack of time, creative energy and a plot line that interests ME are my current hurdles....

Re: Has anyone here NOT read this?

I've been a fan since approximatel the third page.... even considered scratch building the fleets....

Just never seem to have the time
