Titles, T-Shirts, and Tpictures!
Three things.
First of all, thanks for all the suggestions for Volume 1. You jerks did not make it an easy decision, as there were about half a dozen that made us go, “Oooh, man.” But, just like immortals, there can be only one (every time you need to make a movie). I’d like to thank mechapolis.com reader NLink for his title suggestion Atomic Robo and The Fightin’ Scientists of Tesladyne. We very nearly went with another title, but I used my power of veto that 1. comes with being the continuity and story guy, and 2. I made up. Volume 1 doesn’t really have a theme or on-going story, but it is an introduction to Robo and the Action Scientists of Tesladyne (who sometimes fight). So that’s the the title! NLink, e-mail me.
Second, you should buy an Atomic Robo T-shirt. They come in a variety of colors and sizes. Their quality is high. And it hasn’t been proven that they don’t prevent cancer. By that faultless logic, not buying one could kill you. Think about it.
Lastly, I’d like to take a moment to point out how amazing Scott’s art has become in the last year.
Here’s an action scene from Issue #2, originally drawn Nov ’06.
And here’s an action scene from our FCBD story, originally drawn Jan ’08.
The difference is pretty striking. More character detail, more (any!) background detail, more interesting angles, more dynamic composition within and across panels. Our little Scott’s all grown up!
