I looked for this thread month or two back and didn't find it. Figured we didn't have an atomic robo thread since I don't usually see many inde books here with their own threads. Anyway, just wanted to mention, I learned about robo from the team fortress 2 read, someone there posted a page of the tf2 crossover and I got super curious and had to hunt down that issue. Which I read then immediately bought all 7 volumes and the first issue of "flying she-devils." It was a fantastic read for my family vacation and I am waiting for vol. 8 for the Dr. Dinosaur arch so hard. I'm now torn though, buying issues in print help out you guys and the local shop, but digital is cheaper and so much easier. Going to probably switch to digital for vol. 8 and buy the physical trades.

Hyperactive posted:But the realistic answer is: the royalties Scott and I get from each format are so close to each other that it makes no functional difference on our end which one you get. Buy what works best for your needs. Good to know, I like others think I'm going digital for vol. 8 then picking up the paper trade. At this point of my life I can't justify piles of comics taking space when I'm buying the trades already.

Really Pants posted:What's this about seven volumes? I thought there are only six, and She-Devils is going to be the seventh. Do you mean to tell me I'm not as Robo'd as I can be?! Sorry to bring up your hopes. For actual content, I'm also looking forward to new real science adventures. While I really liked the new series, I was a little sad that there were repeated stories from earlier atomic robo trades.

I didn't pick up the last issue of Vol 7 due to getting distracted with a million things and then seeing the release date of the trade being last week. Well that came and went, and it's now slated for next Wednesday? Maybe I'm just not used to Comic Book release dates, but is this a known thing that comics don't really get release dates or something?

Hyperactive posted:Long story short: Diamond distributes all comic books, and you will not find a single comic book creator, publisher, shop owner, or shop employee that has a single positive thing to say about Diamond. Well.... gently caress. Thanks for the reply though. I only read 2 currently printing books, and both seem to come out "When they (Diamond I guess) feel like it." ( It's Atomic Robo/Real Science which I consider one book really, and The Lookouts if you were curious )

Just got to read the new digital only Robo I picked up. That was a pretty awesome presentation. I'm going to be going digital for the next volume(s) and this was a nice jumping off point for it. I really enjoyed the action shots that kept the same background but then expanded as the action happened. Specifically when the villain (did you guys actually pick a girls name for her? Tyra? ) is shooting at Robo with her laser. Loved that! E: added spoiler tags for the story specific question.

rantmo posted:Holy poo poo, there's an Atomic Robo Kickstarter campaign and I'm going to own a Tesladyne coffee mug someday soon How are you guys making money on this? The stretch goals you guys have mean that putting up even $30 gets you a ridiculous amount of swag?! I backed for $30 originally mostly for the Atom print, but I just looked at it again today due to seeing your post on red5 about stretch goals, and holy poo poo.

It appears that I somehow selected the wrong tier for my rewards! I wanted the $30 Physical reward tier (I wanted those posters hard). Is it going to be an issue to correct that? I just saw the email from Amazon/Kickstarter that my funding was successful and saw the reward tier. I didn't even know that there was a digital only tier for $30. I emailed through the kickstarter to query this as well. Hopefully it's no big deal and can be remedied.

Hyperactive posted:I remember when we used to publish comic books. Just barely. I've been in the middle of saving for a house and killed off ALL spending since August.... so Savage Sword Number 3 hitting now (When we're just about to close) has actually worked out fantastic for me. I'll just keep thinking that you guys didn't want me to suffer with the decision of not buying Atomic Robo right when it hit!

Scott.... or Brian.... I unfortunately don't recall at this point whom was the goon among you. I got the backer email to update my address, but if you recall, I'm the guy who made the mistake of picking the wrong $30 tier. It doesn't appear that I have an "Update Address" field for you guys. Don't know if I should email the contact for Kickstarter with an updated (The same) address? Or a PM? Sorry again bud. LOVE THE BOOKS THOUGH!!!

Hyperactive posted:Scott started transitioning off of paper with the conclusion of Volume 9. Atomic Robo now has a paperless production cycle. He found a great workflow after a few weeks of experimentation and he's cranking out the best pages of his career. Patreon huh? I may have to look over at that when I have some spare cash, I still kick myself for not jumping on the page of Dr. Dinosaur fleeing in the tiny car from CERN.

I just backed: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/tesladyne/atomic-robo-reprint-regalia And you should too! E: And the lowest tier to be name dropped is already almost filled. I also am finally not a gently caress up and DID NOT select a digital only tier when meaning to grab a physical tier. Sorry again for that Hyperactive.  E2: Talking to my wife she convinced me to order every book instead of randoms so she can read them too.... I neglected to point out that we already own all of them except the latest release.

Has there been any Kickstarter news lately? Last I saw was that the books were on a boat. The link for the boats status is no longer working so I assume it hit states side by now. Are they shipping soon from the end distro?

8one6 posted:According to one of the recent updates on the site they've arrived but customs wants to x-ray the entire book lot which has slowed things down. drat it Scott, you should have known better than to hide your stash in a large shipment of books! Thanks for the tip. I really should spend some time to check up on the website. I haven't been reading the new comics as I tend to like to read them in long form instead of broken up. The web comic transition didn't quite jive with me. Glad it's working out though! I need more Robo.

Got my books in today. Just got back from work to a package sitting on my foyer floor that my wife accepted. Opened it up to a large amount of treats The books look awesome, but I had one problem that my wife pointed out to me:  Apparently I can't count, cause I thought everything was kosher, yet when she looked at them she noticed there were only 8 books. I figured the Field Guide would be book 9, but apparently not, as I looked at the PDF's that I have, and I'm missing a book. Hardcover #4 "Other Strangeness" I'll message the guys on Kickstarter about it though. I also noticed on my Dogs of War there seems to be a crease through the Sparrow's legs on the cover. Anyone else get that?

Hyperactive posted:This is definitely an error at the warehouse as there were literally ZERO backers for the eight books tier. We'll get you fixed up. I figured, I messaged on KS already too  I got the book plates for 9 though  Also holy crap that must have been a lot of work to sign every drat book plate! Really smart to not put them in the books as that would have made it so much more of a chore.

Hyperactive posted:I'm afraid we have to. You can't lie about the contents and books have titles. Maaaybe we can just say the title is "The Ring of Fire" since that isn't technically untrue. Might be a better idea I'm sure a lawyer can advise you on something like that though, instead of random strangers on the Internet.
