I was going to post it but I thought it would seem redundt.

Yeah, the style is different from O&M so its going to take some time to get used to. I'm definitely going to keep an eye on this, but I'm not going to just jump on the bandwagon. This may be a bit too feminine for me, to be honest.

I d'know...this whole thing with the talking dog...walkin' through a city...
I mean, that's interesting, but I thought it really detracted from the main plotline, where the aliens were taking over the president's brain, and all the explosions, you know?

:twisted:

Cool..

Well, I like what I've seen so far(all one strip), and look forward to Monday. She said it would be a departure from O&M, so it may not catch on to some of us like others. But I do have a question: I'm color-blind pretty much across the spectrum, so my question is this: Is it all blue? :?:

I'm so tempted to go, "Blue? Dood, the entire thing's orange!"

...but I'm not that mean.

Not really. :wink:

I like it so far. It'll be interesting to see how everything fits especially with the plot tidbits DCS has shared.

I personally like it. As I said the preview thread, its good in very poetic way. I wouldn't look into it much when it comes to the rest of the story. Think of it as an intro to a movie, kind of giving a mood for the scenery and an intro to the world rather than the story just yet. The art style is definitely interesting, but I don't mind it too much. It might start to bug me over time though.

So most of this is going to be a flashback, I guess. Alrighty then.

Flashback? How ya figure? Looks like stream of consciousness, but in the moment, to me.

Well, most of the preview material I've seen takes place when she's a puppy, and shortly after when she's on a journey to the city. So I assume a lot of the story does too.

This comic feels like it's trying to set the scene too much, it feels forced. Hopefully it'll mellow out as the story progresses.
