Well Ill certainly go home and re-read it with that in mind. I probably didnt really devote enough time to thinking about it - I was just too baffled initially. Not that im promising liking it any more...:o)

Yours feeling stupidly,

FWIW, Paul, I thought it was quite brilliant, and has sold me 100% on the story. Which means that at some stage, you can bet I'll be rprntng it :)

Paul - don't get me wrong, I'm really enjoying Xtnct and, after an initial "what-the" moment, I grasped what this episode was about (and as I mentioned above, I really enjoyed the Raptor POV interpretations of what the others were saying).

My only real problem was that I couldn't quite see how it tied in with the previous episode - IMO, it read more like an interlude in the main story than a continuation of what had happened last month.

I thought this would be the one that everybody liked, and that initial uncertainty would fade at this point!

As I said, it worked for me, and now that the amused delight I felt at working out what was going on is no longer tempered by the suspicion that maybe I hadn't "got it" at all, it's up there with Charley's War as my favourite thing in the issue.

Paul Cornell

That's very kind of all of you.  Jamie, what do you mean by 'reprinting' (if that's what it was in Raptor speak!)? I'm new around here, and don't know what happens!

If you don't understand an episode, that's my fault rather than yours, and I'll take that onboard as part of me learning how to write comics better.  

The remaining episodes, with normal speech patterns resumed, will hopefully be easier to follow.  


JamieB

Heh!

Yup, it was "reprinting"; I'm graphic novels editor here in the Nerve Centre*, so when XTNCT concludes, I'll likely as not stick it on my to-reprint list (currently somewhere in the region of 8 million titles, based on on-forum requests :P)

I'm sure it'll drop down some, once you filter out the requests from creators for their own work to be reprinted...

"I'm sure it'll drop down some, once you filter out the requests from creators for their own work to be reprinted... "

Damn it, Gordon - there will be *NO* WITCH WORLD holofoil gatefold collectors' edition! (Now, will you *please* return my pets?)
