TA DA!!!!!!!!! ;D It only took 11 months.
Step into the metal shoes [sorry, redundant 
] of Metal Mandroid as he investigates...
The Strange Case of Dr. Barium

**FilmLoop [u]no longer requires downloading or installing anything[u], so please view it that way and enjoy it (the link will just pop up a FilmLoop slideshow viewer). I recommend either switching the viewer to full screen or using 1280X1024 rez (it probably looks just fine on most 19" LCD monitors that use that resolution). 8) I recommend tapping the "pause" button since FilmLoop's viewer starts up in slideshow format.
And downloadable 5MB PDF format courtesy free file host MediaFire:

It's a tale of friendship and honor, defeat and redemption, Vahzilok vomit and cosmic radiation!
You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll cheer, you might even puke! 
I'm hoping to finally pick up my Metal Mandroid screenshot comic book (using Planetwide Games' Comic Book Creator) where it left off. I think most of my old links got purged, and my free Web host kept wiping its servers anywho.
Issue 3 ended on a suspenseful note, but I got awfully bogged down in trying to resolve it so I never quite got issue 4 out the door. Woe was me. Anyway, issue 4 was going to be tragedy, melodrama, self-sacrifice and what really does constitute the afterlife. Issue 5 OTOH was going to be all out action in the Crashed Rikti Mothership zone with MM attempting to defuse an overeating reactor before it went kablooie.
To my pleasant surprise, Film Loop (which I loved as a way to share the comic books in slideshow format) now doesn't require you to install any software to view a Film Loop.
So this link provides links to the 3 Metal Mandroid comic books:

The individual links (it'll pop up a slide show -- press the PAUSE button to stop it, as it seems to go into automatic slideshow format by default):
Metal Mandroid #1
Metal Mandroid #2: Secret Identity
Metal Mandroid #3: Chaos in Cell Block 13
After the double XP weekend, I hope to finally get issues 4 ("The Strange Case of Dr. Barium") and 5 ("Rikti Reaction") done and posted.
And I realize my covers are so-so, and interface and HUD target stuff shows up. I'm not passing it off as any comic masterworks though, it's an effort to promote what's cool about the game while hopefully telling some interesting stories. I hope people can enjoy it as such.
