Sadly, comics will not be delivered by robot army.
There was a time when you could order comics by mail from a page in a comic book. You just had to ruin the comic to do it unless you had access to a copy machine. Image has returned to those days by offering a subscription by mail service, complete with discounts. That’s good for people who aren’t close to a comic store and want physical comics to read.
This cover matches my thoughts about the comic.

Following the right people on Twitter can introduce you to cool new things. For example, Martin Kirby’s Freelance, a sci-fi space web comic, similar to Runners in that you have a ragtag group having space adventures. Instead of smuggling, however, our heroes are treasure hunters, at least so far. Kirby is only into the second story arc and the comic only updates on Mondays. So I’m going by early impressions. Still, I like what I see thus far and I was right about Battlepug, so hopefully this trend keeps going.
Yes, that is a cyborg man with trains on his feet. NOT as cool as being a race car combiner.

Wondering if Marvel can successfully take the reign of the Star Wars comic franchise back from Dark Horse? Comics Alliance‘s Dylan Todd obtained an advanced copy and has the review.
I’m sure this was a “who would win” debate somewhere.

How It Should Have Ended is a webseries I’ve used as a Filler Video source in the past. It’s a low-budget animated production showing how action and sci-fi movies should have ended were the characters smart enough not to make the obvious mistakes. Now they’ve added a new project to their ranks, HISHE Kids. Yep, they’ve branched out to the younglings.
