Ghost of Station X #3 — GET IT

Posted by Brian! | Published on November 14, 2011

The latest installment of our critically acclaimed series Atomic Robo comes out Wednesday, November 16th. Here’s a little more about it.

Atomic Robo and the Ghost of Station X #3

We’ve got a robot who’s also a scientist. He fights monsters, sometimes Nazis, a mobile pyramid once, the planet Mars kinda, and also Stephen Hawking (though that was more of a metaphorical battle). His arch enemies include a brain in a jar, a time traveling dinosaur who probably isn’t, and the spirit of Thomas Edison.

Yeah, okay, this is the third issue in the sixth series, but it’s still a great jumping on point. Check it: First issue Robo tried to rescue some astronauts. Second issue it all went horribly wrong. This issue Robo tracks down the true culprits!

Grab it online or at your local shop, or on your fancy iOS/Android device, PC, or Mac and let us know what you think!

The series sounds awesome. I’m patiently waiting for the trade paperback…

16th of November? I bought it on Comics+ on my phone a few days ago. Happy to quote line and verse from the book as evidence of same.

That’s interesting. And a mistake on their part if true.
Scott!

I do that too. I don’t even look at my comp issues

I’d quote it, as I said, but I’m not really a spoiler-y type. First three bubbles begin “Are” and “Someone” and “Okay”. Very last bubble begins “They’d”. I think I’ve safely avoided posting the script. Just thought I’d let you know.

Oh, and that I’m enjoying the hell out of the series, as usual.

“Parts of that may have been a dream.”

I love this.

What’s great about that exchange is: the whole conversation was supposed to be info dumpy. I forget why we had to change it, but I know some confusion about what the script said and what the art showed was the result — whether this was Scott misunderstanding the script for that page or whether it was me screwing it up by mis-editing it, or a combination of both is, I think, lost to time.

But we had a page full of plot important conversation that no longer made sense in the context of what these characters were doing.

It took me about an afternoon to get to the version of the page you see there. And the best part of it is that bit you quoted. It never would’ve happened had it not been for whatever Scott drew that I didn’t anticipate. And it made that page about 100 times better. It was a seriously dry and boring conversation originally.

I love this partnership sometimes.

BUT ONLY SOMETIMES.

I thought I drew exactly what the script said. :/

I cannot help it if Brian’s scripts have taken on the exact characteristics of my wife’s voice whenever she talks at me for more than 20 seconds -incomprehensible dolphin chatter.

So I just smile and nod at the script, and say, “uh-huh” a lot, and then draw every third word that Brian writes.

“I thought I drew exactly what the script said.”

This is the cause of most of edits on my end.

If only you would stop writing them in Esperanto. They would be ever so much easier to interpret.

I wonder if this is the kind of exchange that George and Ringo would hear whenever John and Paul would discuss each other’s song.

"The truth may be puzzling. It may take some work to grapple with.
It may be counterintuitive. It may contradict deeply held prejudices.
It may not be consonant with what we desperately want to be true.
But our preferences do not determine what's true."
