New Bad Machinery case starts on the 27th.

I'm so excited! Bad Machinery (and the other comics about its cast like Space is the Place) is by far the best, funniest, and most human work Allison has ever done.

Where are you people seeing this? Nothing on the website mentions a new Bad Machinery. Plus, wasn't Robert Cop confirmed to come after Space is the Place?

vvvv well, I'm happy for one.

No, I said the characters would be back, I just said I felt that it had to be under a new banner of some sort because they're getting older. But I think I have enough names for my various comics. No more titles.

Robert Cop is still on the slate but will be moved to its own special, discrete area of the website for a "soft launch".

I'm definitely enjoying this whole turn of "Jordan accidentally saves the world through his superpowers of being terrible." Like, he only even got that ID card by being so off-putting that Dr George decided to leave in a hurry.

Of course it's kind of distressing in a karmic sense, but it's also hilarious.

I-- don't think he's saving the world. If anything he may be making things much, much worse.

Ditocoaf

I'm still assuming Ben Bishop intends to help aliens enslave the world via Tech Trendiness, because that theory was debunked then re-accused and then spun as a game and then revived and then turned out to be fake again, so of course if the story isn't over yet it still has to turn out to be true. Now Jordan's ruining that subtle strategy like he ruins everything.

So maybe now things are about to get a lot more overtly aggressive? I guess it's hard to say whether that's truly an improvement.

I think John Allison is planning to follow up on that.

John Allison posted:

That's the last part of Space Is The Place! Thank you for reading! If you want to go back and pick apart the conspiracy, the story starts here. Next week there are six comics bridging this tale and the new Bad Machinery case, which starts on July 27th.

:gaysper::frogbon:
Glad to see the thread title is to be relevant again. I'm even more glad that Allison is going to keep focusing on Tackleford; Robert Cop as a little side project is greatly preferable to it being the focus, even if the period of said focus would've ended up being a few months before shifting to [superheroine comic that I forget the name of already].

One of the best things about SGR is that it's willing to negatively portray characters that other comics, naming no names, would try to make sympathetic or "quirky."

Fitting that Blossom would finally get her moment under the spotlight so soon after Jordan sleazed into our lives.
