Really?

Like they don't anyways in spite of your attempts at limitation?

Sorry Troy, woulda got 'em as they came out, but doing four orders (plus inevitable shipping) by internet is less preferable to doing one order for all four. Since I live in an area that has no LCS, it's either order from der intertubes or drive an hour each way to the nearest store. Dunno if that'll affect your sales numbers though. :/

That being said, I'm definitely excited to see them.

We didn't really discuss it at the time, though, since I, y'know, hadn't read the book yet. Now that I have...I kinda do want to ask him about it in more detail, mostly because I actually rather liked it.

I did think it moved a little fast, especially given that the first three issues were a bit more leisurely...it felt like there was a lot crammed into this one. But what was crammed into it was pure comic book goodness, though, so no major complaints. I rather like the note it ended on, and I've genuinely enjoyed this series from start to finish.

I got #4 yesterday and sat down and read it. I won't spoil it for anyone here, but congratulations for taking the brave route. I especially enjoyed the insert portion and the interesting points you rose about differing opinions and artistic freedom.

What I said before though about seeing TG in another format or setting still holds, though....

Very well done, again. I'll say more when others have commented.

I'm not sure if TG will comment on this aspect of comics, but I'm looking forward to the next installment.
