The best part about it is the title. No ambiguity there. What you see is what you get. :D

I'll be trying the first issue. I mean, it's got lots of things I like. Like theoretical physics for instance.

I've started Grad School part-time. so I'm looking to cut back and not add new titles. I'm especially not interested in new mini-series that I can eventually pick up in trades if I ever have free time again. But this one looks so cool I feel as though I have no choice but to order it.

Frank Cho is one of my "must buy" artists. I just love looking at his work....

This project has been put on hold, which isn't a huge surprise since #3 was never solicited.

It is stuff like this that makes it hard for retailers and readers to support independent books.

Not surprising that Marvel & Hollywood take precedence, that's where the $$$ is.

Diamond should just cancel this outright & let it be re-solicited when Cho actually has something to sell.

This definitely makes me want to wait until the trade comes out. I wouldn't want to buy the issues only to have the series possibly get put on hold again.

This is the problem these creators have when they play fast & loose with their personal reliability. They decrease future sales when fans decide to skip their "periodical" work because they are worried that they won't get a complete story.

A poster child for this is Nate Simpson & Nonplayer. I'm probably the only one on the forum who'll buy #2 if it ever comes out, he burned so many bridges......

Too bad, this looked really fun. I'm sure I'll check it out later but I just hate how they tease books and then delay delay delay. Not surprising though.

I totally forgot about Nonplayer #2. I met Nate at FCBD last yr and he said he was half way done with #2. That is 3 months short of 1 yr! Like I said, totally forgot until Bob mentioned it.

I didn't know anything about Nonplayer, and bought issue #1 on a whim on my iPad. Loved it. I was kinda disappointed when I figured out only one issue had come out. I'll buy issue #2 though.
