This makes me think of Ender's Game for some reason.
"what's the gravity this time?"
fuck yes
Just a regular ol' dumb kid would be an interesting twist.
E: His being named Solomon doesn't bode well for him not being a genius.
And they're doing three of these again, Yes?
These first two have been super interesting and really pretty and just generally great and so I can't wait to see the third!
What is "Sand?"
edit: how did I miss wednesday?
oh wait
I was making vodka tonics after work
that's what happened
cute concept, but i'm more inclined to see more Sand
I'm still fairly sure I'll vote for Sand but...I'm wavering
I want more than anything to see a cowboy defy death and fate accompanied by a lady robot voice
but I'm getting a Homestuck vibe, I want to see where this goes. I want to see memorable characters that will stick with me. Just who is this Solomon? I'm curious now.
p.s. third panel, he has no elbows
Only partially because there's no voting form up until then.
But eh. At least this run is causing the Edits thread to fall all the way back to page 3.
Jim.
Jim Darkmagic.
We never got Darkmagic comics, which sucks because we got some great stuff from the other two. Now that we're doing a second round of this competition the chances that we will see a Darkmagic arc are much lower.
ALSO! Reading the Jim Darkmagic comic now made me confused because I had fallen in love with the edit where Tycho is in the audience going "MAGIIIIIC"
ETA - The newspost is up. Seems like this is the series that Gabe and Tycho would want to do the most.
If I had to go for which comic would make best use of Mike and Jerry's proven skills in writing & drawing, I would pick "The New Kid". It has more potential for humor, whimsy, inventiveness and rich character sketches.
Still, the novelty of Sand being their "first comic" is a pretty great foundation for a 'legacy/bookend comic of sorts...some kind of great encapsulation, Alpha and Omega style, of how their work has grown.
For now, though, I'm sayin' The New Kid.
Thanks for that image.
That said, I love the potential. Just the last three lines – perfect moody kid, not quite willing to admit to the sheer brilliance of this particular event.
Seriously, screw kids. Robots!
Maybe he can meet Robo-Bo and they can have some serious hay-jumping adventures.
The stops have been pulled out.
old west robot, yeah ok. weirdo in a widely played situation
new kid in school but the school is in SPACE? Normal person in an unusual situation
fuck yes I wanna hang out with this kid
I think he's named Solomon solely so that his nickname can be "Sol", which is latin for sun and what a lot of sci-fi authors refer to as the name of our own star
That seems like the sort of thing Jerry would do
Also this is cute but god damn it future cowboys, guys

That, too. I was thinking with Sand being Western Space Jesus, Biblical undertones may be a part of all three ideas.
Or maybe it was just on Jerry's mind.
Or maybe both or neither.
I don't know how the third one would be as good.
Something tells me it will though.
I was going to respond to this post but your sig
what the fuck
ok I would vote for this
have you met the man?
Oh man what a great intro.
Every chapter will end with them going, " Man, Khoo... what took you?"
