I’m interested in this. Anyone know more about it?
I hear how some of the wacky nonconformists at my LCS are ordering this. Sounds like something up my alley. What’s my motivation here? Anyone?
the preview looked way to hip for me. I’m just a normal person, not a depressed boy who wears giants headphones and randomly meets quirky girls with tattoos

I’ll give this a shot provided my store has a copy, which I doubt they will.
My store will likely have a copy or two. They order almost everything.
Really liked the webcomic, actually ‘stumbled upon’ it a few months ago.
Although why I would buy a reprint of a free webcomic is anyone’s guess.
@TheNextChampion Is all of it available online for free?
@TheNextChampion People buy things to support art and artists that they like so those artists can continue to make that art.
@JNewcomb: Yeah, it’s just another webcomic you can visit. A pretty good one too.
@conor: The problem is that you could just go on the website and buy things there. In fact Seagle is selling ‘minicomic’ books that collect a good portion of his run for this series.
And again…..it’s free to read online.
Also, these issues are in color, I believe while the webcomic isn’t.
I’ll flip through it if it’s there.
@TheNextChampion So… you’re objecting to multiple places to buy a product?
@conor I think it’s more that it’s available free elsewhere.
@conor: What @JNewcomb said.
@NawidA: Oh is it? I didn’t know that actually.
@JNewcomb Well, I already addressed that point.
I am with Conor anytime I can support something I am interested in I do it. This was something that was right up my ally. The shop I work at only got 5 copies but I made sure that they sold. Hopefully the guys that got it will stick with it because it was AWESOME!
Not only was it in color, but I really dug the coloring (which was actually done by the writer).
I loved this book. I think it hooked me talking about Battletoads and Megman 3, and then the music posters on the wall featuring some great bands… happy to support good stuff like this.
This issue wsa excellent. It’s not “too hip”, it’s simply about a ragdoll trying to find love, but attempting to find happiness in order TO love. It’s relateable and the art is fantastic. Highly recommend and added to my pull-list.
