I regret to say that I have been lapsing in my regular Robo purchasing habits lately but will attempt to pick them back up post haste. Moving to cities without any dedicated comics stores will do that :(

Surely if anyone's going to have kung-fu grip it's Jenkins.

No, upon opening the box, the Jenkins figure rips your goddamn head off.
Collector's Item then, is it?

Okay, that I did not expect. :stare: I automatically assumed it would be some sort of paysite although now that I think of it, not sure how I assumed that would work. This is amazing news, getting issues here in Europeland was always a bit of a pain.

Actually! Back in the 8BT days you asked me to do a little bit of translation for Vol. 2 - if you're uploading the old issues now, any chance of (or need for) fixing a very inconsequential gaff that's staring me in the face now every time I read it? :v:

It's in issue 3, page 2 - that Laufpanzer guy probably shouldn't be calling Skorzeny "Oberst." The real Skorzeny was Hauptsturmführer at that point in time, the comic version is Sturmbannführer according to his insignia; either one is what they'd address him as, I think. Hope you can change the speech balloon! :v:

(The modern, shorter equivalents would be Hauptmann and Major, in case you can't. Neither is historically correct but it's a great deal better than a rank four steps above.)

I wish there was some "go to last read page" function on the site for when I inevitably forget to check for a few days (though you may well argue, what would I go and do a thing like that for).

P.S. added chapter breaks to the prologue(s) so hopefully that helps the readability a little.
Which is entirely not a scheme to get us all to read it again for

I'm slowly starting to realize that we're not in an alternate timeline where Tesla never built Robo but his head is stored, but that it's the same history and there's just always been Robo's head from the future in storage.

Not quite sure how I got the idea, in retrospect, but it's made reading the past few pages a little weird.

also isn't this the plot of a Star Trek: TNG episode?

I have a tiny point of criticism, which is that I think it would have been funnier if Foley hadn't pointed out the "hello" thing and instead they just found the box on the shelf and when we see it, it's upside down.

It just occurred to me that 130 years is one heck of a long time to keep unpowered electronics in a wooden crate, with uncontrolled climate for at least a few decades of that, and expect them to still work fine and all information to be intact.

Depends on what they're stored on, really. Normally I wouldn't fancy his chances much but it's not like there's any real reference for a storage time of 1 1/3 decades except maybe "phonograph cylinders still work if you're very lucky".

But then those are Edison's tech.

so it's not nearly as game breaking to be invincible as it would be in, say, any iteration of D&D
On the other hand, I'm reading that analysis (is it still an analysis coming from the writer himself?) and I'm thinking, that's precisely a 4E fighter, or really any defender, both in terms of how they work mechanically and how they should integrate with the rest of the group.

Maybe Robo will come out of this with a newfound understanding of what it's like being a brilliant mind in a body that doesn't work and finally mend things with Stephen Hawking.
