I have a volume 6 question: Why did ALAN turn out the way he did? Was it just the times he developed in as opposed to Robo's, i.e. the paranoia of the Cold War versus the optimism of the 20s, or was it seeing what happened to his mentor, or what?

So after the currently published work goes up on the site, it's Ring of Fire?

Well, they're both megalomaniacs who think they're smarter than everyone else alive.

Robo was built to last pretty much forever, right?

Well we just know he's going to be eating his words when he meets ALAN 2.0.

I know that lots of Robo's parts are supposed to be black boxes, but come on. Tesla was working with the technology and materials of his era. It's been a hundred years, is there really nothing that the world's smartest nuclear engineer can use to do the job?

Hyperactive posted:It took us 1,500 years to rediscover Roman concrete. Closer to 1000, and that's only the use of pozzolan, which was overtaken by the wholly superior hydraulic lime. What really matters in concrete is pour technique. See the Panama canal leak problems for how even how good chemistry can be ruined by bad technique. I'm way too concerned about fake comic science anyway.

It would be absolutely, deliciously perfect if only a superior reptilian intellect could save Robo.

Wouldn't it defeat the purpose of Robo to have weapons? He's supposed to be Tesla's great gift to the world, the virtuous Great Scientist that will protect humanity forever. I mean, he shoots a lot of monsters but that's not the point of creating him.

Bobulus posted:Okay, that's a good one. I completely forgot Tesla's original gimmick was wireless power. ULTRA has already done all the metamaterial research that they need for the new reactor Brougton said he couldn't build. They even called it a Broughton Reactor, it's all based off his work.

The Soviet supercavitator uses a combination of nose cone shape and an actual frontal exhaust port to create the low friction gas envelope, so that's probably what they're going for.

Oh hey, somebody's genius creator once created a weapon quite similar to a large asteroid impact.

Wanderer posted:A "traditional" design for a kinetic harpoon has no firing mechanism. You let gravity, momentum, and re-entry do all the work for you, and the projectile itself is basically a tungsten fence post. All you need is a mechanism to tell it when to drop. Yes, but only if you want to be at the mercy of orbital mechanics. If you don't want to wait around for a precise launch window, you put a firing and guidance system in.

Diamond Comic Distributors basically holds a monopoly on the physical comics delivery market. They use that stranglehold on the infrastructure to hold up giant middle fingers to anyone who isn't Marvel or DC and wants their product delivered on time, and to keep the entire business locked in the 90s. Comics are by and large still delivered on semi trucks.
