Carlos is the man.

Watched it for the first time last night - WOW - blew my socks off - utterly brilliant

[Steve Green]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!

[zombemybabynow]

more than enjoyed - soooo professional and enjoyable

I'd even go as far as saying that i got the same vibe as when i went to the cinema to see the watchmen - spine-tingling feeling of seeing much beloved characters of my childhood made flesh

Yeah, I think that's partially why we wanted to do it, there's always the argument about film not making a comic more valid, but there's an appeal to see what it would look like.

It's why I've got no interest in doing a 2012 short - copying an existing translation doesn't appeal to me.

A commission Steve had done based roughly from a scene in the film.

I tell you now, if someone wants to crowdfund a proper comic adaptation of the short with Carlos on art duties, I'd be in in a heartbeat.

Thank you. 

I don't think there's much in the film that hasn't already been cover by existing stories. 

Hopefully Johnny will be back in the prog in due course.

Nice to see Carlos drawing Wulf in a sequential panel page though.

I know that lots of different elements from the strip were used in the short.  They melded together well anyway.  It would be nice to have that as a standalone special.  How close are we to the 40th Anniversary of the start of Starlord?  Next May?  How about that for an anniversary special?

[Steve Green]

Yeah, I guess out of the strips we picked from

Death's Head (4 arm guy)
Stone Killers (someone killing stronts + stone aliens)
Blood Moon (let's do the timebomb together)
Kreeler conspiracy (look of soldiers and truck and assault on compound)
Rage (The Liner)
Two-faced terror (the Chukwalla)
First episode (mutant at the end, and time drogue)

+ any use of beam polarisers/electronux/happy stick

I can't see Rebellion commissioning a strip, they've kept an arms-length from fan-film stuff, and we can't afford to commission one.

Besides it really is just a pick and mix from stuff that's already out there.

BTW, London Super Comic Con will be showing it at 17:30 on Friday 25th August, and we're doing a Q+A afterwards.

Not sure what kind of attendance there's going to be on a schoolday, but there's a big Brian Michael Bendis thing in the same room straight after, and it seats 500.

Should be interesting...

Here's an image to promo 



Needless to say, all public screenings are shown with the kind permission of Rebellion.

Am I wrong, or is there no part of the film where Johnny Alpha says "Number <whatever> cartridge!"

[IndigoPrime]

"Number <whatever> cartridge!"

His heart just wasn't in it any more.
