I might give it a try.<BR/><BR/>And I was totally psyched at the idea of this week's column having 27 comments on the first day, only to discover a whole mess of it was spam. Still, though, $900 extra a month isn't too bad a deal.chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03023802756353551241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25566450.post-57281175586093157052008-02-29T21:21:00.001-05:002008-02-29T21:21:00.001-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25566450.post-62564550282708494622008-02-29T21:21:00.000-05:002008-02-29T21:21:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25566450.post-31520787987547553112008-02-29T21:13:00.000-05:002008-02-29T21:13:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25566450.post-740780471234871772008-02-29T20:56:00.000-05:002008-02-29T20:56:00.000-05:00Well, if everyone else from TEAM ROBO is posting h...Well, if everyone else from TEAM ROBO is posting here I might as well chime in . . .and email Ronda and tell her to post here too :P<BR/><BR/>Jim Hanley's is your best bet.

Red 5 Comics is reprinting issues 2-5 and doing a 3rd printing of #1 which you can pre-order from Diamond Comics next week and on-shelf starting March 19. Jim Hanley's Universe on 33rd carried a good amount of copies but are sold out as well. They'll definitely carry the reprints or special order them for you.<BR/><BR/>Here's the press release from Red 5. http://heavyink.com/search?q=atomic+roboJeff Powellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03442922703725411368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25566450.post-67739901265710148302008-02-29T16:31:00.000-05:002008-02-29T16:31:00.000-05:00Hey, if you're looking to save money and still get...Hey, if you're looking to save money and still get new comics you should try www.mangatude.com . Its a site where people put their stuff up and swap stuff with other people... It's mostly for manga (I've got some of my american comic stuff up though), but still you get a volume for a volume which is way better than if you tried to sell it on ebay or something.ashez2asheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08618228091305965833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25566450.post-62539758556904640332008-02-29T16:23:00.000-05:002008-02-29T16:23:00.000-05:00Did the first issue of RASL make anyone else think...Did the first issue of RASL make anyone else think this is Jeff Smith's take on a Paul Pope comic? The loner antihero who looks vaguely like the artist, the rock n roll references, the narration over the scifi-noir story. Even something about the cover color choices reminds me of THB. I know Smith and Pope are buddies but I haven't read anything suggesting RASL's debt to Pope's work...jasharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09380976862959390849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25566450.post-48023816829867278212008-02-29T16:05:00.000-05:002008-02-29T16:05:00.000-05:00my reaction to Kick Ass was like, "eh."The opening...<I>my reaction to Kick Ass was like, "eh."</I><BR/><BR/>The opening was right of out the Disney film CONDORMANDavid Gallaherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01004233671388887032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25566450.post-35417900545514737022008-02-29T15:12:00.000-05:002008-02-29T15:12:00.000-05:00my reaction to Kick Ass was like, "eh.""The real w...my reaction to Kick Ass was like, "eh."<BR/><BR/>"The real world is not the comic book world." <BR/>"The real world is dangerous." <BR/>I get it.<BR/><BR/>Will have to try Action Philosophers, thoVergehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10083468076834391732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25566450.post-73275054304101867232008-02-29T14:30:00.000-05:002008-02-29T14:30:00.000-05:00Times Square, eh?
