I plan to donate and have it all set to remind me when the time is almost up. I have this terrible fear I would donate and have the money get drawn at a time I have none.

Hyperactive posted:These are standard size hardcovers. This campaign is all about getting our volumes back into print both under our own label and with a consistent design. These will be the bread-n-butter books that are easy to get in shops and online and at a very reasonable price. I can't do this kickstarter because a car issue just came up, but in the future, if you do omnibus editions could they possibly resemble the big Sandman annotated editions that are coming out? Because that would be awesome!

Hyperactive I wanna thank you for putting the comics up online. I've heard amazing things about Atomic Robo ever since it was first announced waaay back on the 8-Bit news page, but being in college for the last seven years has badly crimped my disposable income, so I was never able to try and chase down anything except the FCBD issues and the other things I could find online (which only made me more curious). Now I've finally gotten to read them and it's one of the best comics I've read in a very long time. When I finally get this damned degree and get a job, I'm going to pick up whatever I can get my hands on. Thanks for being awesome and inspiring another writer!

I like to loan out various comics to people and my Robo books are the ones that go out the most often because they've got the most universal appeal. They've taken a bit of wear and tear because of it, so it would be nice to have those as my set for lending and hardbacks for my personal set. Looking like it's the $170 tier for me  And then in a few more years I can buy it again as the omnibus (oversize please) and you can replace your teeth with diamonds or whatever.

There's also a, I believe, five to seven day period after the campaign ends to change your billing information! That's come in handy for me in the past, where I knew I would be broke right when a campaign ended but would get paid a couple days later. My problem with this one is I want all 9 as hardcover but would have to sell bodily fluids to afford it, and I haven't been able to convince myself just yet that I'm willing to settle for a partial collection.

That'd be more expensive overall, but at least it's an expense you could spread out over a few months or a year or something.

Hey Hyperactive, are there any plans to improve the navigation for the site? It's kind of terrible at the moment, particularly if you're trying to find stuff like the FCBD issues.

I already had trades up to Volume 7, but gently caress it I said to myself, I love HCs! Backed at the 170 level. My one question is will Real Science Adventures eventually come out physically again? Sorry if it says it on the kickstarter, I only saw the PDF mentioned.

Ok cool. I actually don't have any of the RSA trades but they are still available on Amazon at the moment so I might end up getting them because I love physical comic books. Regular books, I only buy on Kindle these days, but with the art it's just not the same somehow. The trades I have will be going to a good home. Just gotta decide who gets them.

Hyperactive posted:The PDFs will have everything that's in the hardcovers. They are literally the print files but with RGB instead of CMYK and a slightly lower res because you really don't need these pages at 600dpi. If this is the case i'll be ordering the PDFs when the remind me e-mail gets sent. I'd love to order the hcs but the price of shipping it all to the UK is more than the price of the books. If you do a Kickstarter for omnibus volumes would you consider doing them one at a time? Love me some big fat comic books.

I have most of that stuff, and the mini Dr Dinosaur statue from a while back. I really just need me some hot hot Robo action figures.

Hello. I recently finished volume 9, which gave me a bit of a melancholy feeling until I remembered the end of the FCBD Science Fair issue. Any news about the cartoon from a few years back? I remember the short video looked very promising. And finally, I have been waiting patiently to see Isaac Asimov make an appearance. Any idea of when it will happen (it still is happening I hope)?

Question about the Kickstarter: I may be bad at reading, but I don't see "Exclusive Kickstarter Foil" explained on the page. Are the HC's going to have foil covers or is it foil bookplates?

Seriously, if the foil cover doesn't come with a ton of pouches and faces with WAY too many lines on them, what's the point of having a foil cover?

Hyperactive posted:So far as I'm aware, there is no other method to extract foil. There are non-crystalline metals! But they're expensive and I have no idea how malleable they are compared to bog-standard aluminum. Science! This reminds me of a time back in college in a materials science class and the professor says something about crystalizing copper and this guy who was really smart, but not as clever as he thought he was spurts out "how DO you crystallize copper?" The professor just gave him a "What the gently caress?" look for half a beat and keeps on lecturing. Endless Mike fucked around with this message at 01:41 on Jun 2, 2015 |
