Well, considering the comment engine for the comic is really limited--I could rant for pages and it'd probably cut off somewhere. That's what the blog is good for! :D
BTW I'm very excited we finally see the first chapter come to fruititon! It's been nearly a full year since this project was launched, and I've been waiting in the wings for any progress.
I remember last year I tried my damn hardest to get any kind of attention or leave any kind of impact with my concepts onto the creators for the winning pitch. I'm glad to see their story has evolved so much so far.
Props to Ale for churning out so many pages of pencils, and props to the revisions made to those pencils! But what happened after the first handful of pages? The last dash of pages I've noticed things starting to slip by in the revisions--for instance, the mono-ass. Ale dun wanna draw asses?
The page with Matrix watching Bob and Dot from the alleyway... that page was riddled with fixable anatomy mistakes. Lack of abs (when nearly every page is riddled with ab-tastic males), and an appearnace of the mono-ass (this time, it isn't BSnP to blame. Remember Dot's mono-boob in season 1&2?). Not to mention some facial tweaks, and pose weirdness.
Sorry for jumping around, but I don't have the comic to stare at page-for-page, just going from what I remember caught my attention. The page where Bob and Turbo are meeting the Codemasters for the first time. What's up with Bob being in profile? His crotch... is kinda awkward. Either change his position... or... do... something with that crotch. His uniform (and lack of belt) just make me feel like Bob is next-to-naked.
Does this comic get one last art-direction revision before it's published? I'd be disappointed as an artist seeing such a strong start, and a weak finish--artistically.
I might not be the greatest artist in the world, or able to pull off everything the team has done, but I know from years of college art classes, I've developed an eye for these things at least.
P.S. Is Z2H doing anything for this year's ComicCon? I missed your booth somehow last year when you were launching the project, but this year I would love to catch up with you guys. (In between trying to find the elusive Tite Kubo... :3)

And I can't see the bloody thing. Anyone know ANYTHING about this? I'd love to read it and comment, but being able to have it open first is kind of a prerequisite, you know?

Oh, good, it isn't just me who can't get at it. I suspect the problem has something to do with a massive fire that hit Z2H's hosting provider over the weekend. It's wreaked some minor havoc with the production tools the last couple days. Whatever the problem is, it's an unfortunate time for it not to happen. It got an article at Hollywoodreporter.com yesterday and Blog@Newsarama mentioned it this morning. I hate to think there's some new people trying to check it out who can't...never mind us old* people... Foley *'I'm 37. I'm not old.'

I was finally able to see it today and I liked it for the most part. I found a couple of places in the plot confusing, but I blame the fact that I have never seen Reboot and know nothing about the characters and history for that.

I can garantee you that no Art Director will want to change a page that's been carefully drawn, inked, colored and lettered for simple tweaks. I think you're being a little hard on them considering the *other* efforts that were needed for this thing to happen.
