If anyone in the US can't get a copy let me know. I am willing to go to my store, purchase their remaining issues of #2 (which may be up to 4), and mail it to you for free.
Go Team Venture!
Just out of curiosity, but do you know how many copies of each issue were printed?

Just read issue 2. Man, this is good, good stuff. #1 was great, but this one was a step up even from that.

Thanks for the shout-out in your author's letter at the end of #2 Troy. Oh, and we don't support you in spite of your pantslessness, we support you because of it.
Got to pick up #2 today, Troy....an intriguing read, and I have a couple of theories as to whom the Dusk Devil might be...the one-page inserts again were fun....I did love Oktoberfist and the mention of Planeteam.
I have a friend who suffers from clinicial schizophrenia and so I find myself relating to TG from a very different perspective than you may've intended, but I am also fascinated by the phenomenon of the Real World Hero movement.
Did you have an opportunity to meet with a group of them or just individuals? I keep thinking of the practical concerns of such things, and I wonder how the authorities will react when the day comes a very wealthy person with resources decides this is something he wants to do.....

They will build a giant light signal on top of the tallest building in the city if they know what's good for them.

From the podcast I heard yesterday, it seems Troy wrote TG with the point of view that she may indeed be a functional schizophrenic, but we see the world through her eyes and thoughts and filters. Which is of course to her, the normal world.|

I did a lot of research on paranoia and schizophrenia when coming up with a character for what I'm currently working on (and have been for 6 years) and I can see a lot of what I learned about it in TG as well.
I haven't seen it posted but the Fanboy vs Fanboy postcast with "Dan Hickman" is http://www.tfradio.net/storage/podca...er/hickman.htm
That Dan is a genius...

they were supposed to be on my pull, but issue 2 was marked as sent but never made it to the comic store. . . They said they'd give me a call when it got here.
Sad Panda.

Twilight Guardian dies.
You're welcome.

Luckily she dies between the panels, and is teleported to the hospital. You have to know how to read BETWEEN the panels...

As the podcast covered to a small extent, mental illness, how it's defined, and how it's quantified, are one of the themes in TG. Our protagonist was originally only defined by her OCD (which was the theme of her mini-comic beginnings in Tales of the Pathetic Club). In the Top Cow version, though, it MAY be something more. Between my own experiences with OCD, and my experiences with my ex-wife's severe mental illness (eventually diagnosed as a combination of borderline personality and severe depression), the topic is something about which I've learned a great deal as a layman.|

As far as the Real Life Superhero community, I've gotten to know a number of them over the last few years, particularly the Crimson Fist, Superhero, and others. They're a fascinating bunch of folks, and some great people. And they were a great deal of help pushing Twilight Guardian to a win in Pilot Season...much like the heroes of these forums...

I should mention again, by the way, for those of you who are interested in the comic, Twilight Guardian has her own Facebook page where you can not only find material not available in the comics, but you can ask TG questions personally. You can check it out here.

Well written and good pacing. That being said not my cup of tea so sorry Troy don't think i'll be picking up the rest. But good luck.
I knew I should've had a character named Earl Grey!

I really hope the folks looking for copies can find 'em. I don't know if there's a chance they'll go back to press or not...
