Thanks. This is the first time I've ever lettered a comic in lowercase, I felt with the children it would work better that way. This is closer to the way my actual handwriting looks, but far neater.
The Flight of the Living Dead hand-lettering is how they taught me to letter at the Kubert school. I like it because it looks more like traditional comic lettering, but maybe I'll use the lowercase stuff from now on.

Yeah, I just took care of the wikipedia crap. Scott, tell me if I got the facts wrong there. All I did was add what you've written here. But if I misread or misinterpreted something let me know and I will change it. Also, once your books get to selling, you need to make your own wiki bio page.
A graphic novel of the same name written by Scott Ewen appeared on the internet in the beginning of 2007. [1] While the basic plotline of the film and graphic novel are similar, this is the only thing the two have in common. Representatives from the film, originally called Plane Dead, contacted Mr. Ewen after changing the name of their movie to Flight of the Living Dead. According to Mr. Ewen they asked him to change the name of his graphic novel or stop producing it altogether. While there is no certainty as to when the script was completed or initial budget meetings formed, Scott Ewen's graphic novel was released to the general public under the Flight of the Living Dead title well before the film was released. According to Ewen, on his blog, the film has nothing to do with his graphic novel and the title was appropriated by the film makers without discussion. He is outraged about the title coincidence and has spoken with the film producers about changing the name from Flight of the Living Dead, to no avail. [2]
They didn't ask me to change the name of my comic or stop producing it. I asked them to change the name of their movie to avoid confusion, but I was told nobody would confuse the two.
Also, I don't think I can make my own wiki page. There's some kind of rule against autobiographies.
So....in the first two panels they are just walking around talking, and then it goes to them putting the robot in a dumpster. The dialog doesn't imply a significant change in time, but the action seems to. It took me a second to make sure I was understanding what was going on.
haha, good stuff. I agree with anable, it would have tied together a little better if they were walking carrying the robot in the first two panels and talking in the past tense (What did you want a robot for?). Concept is great though and I love the grin and prance at the end.

Alright, sorry for the confusion. I'll edit that out so it doesn't sound biased or something. Also, I'm sure one of us would be happy to do your wiki profile if you told us what you want. I don't mind doing it. I'm a big fan.
EDIT: Fixed. Sorry again for the misquote. That really sucks, by the way. I guess it won't matter in a few years though when that movie is in some $1.99 bin and you've gone on to actually make a name for yourself. : )
Thanks. I took a look at the article, and it seems fine now.
You don't really need to make a wikipedia article about me, I don't think I'm at the point in my career yet where it would be of any use to anyone. Thanks for offering, though.

::shrug:: no problem man, but I say if you have/when you get 1000 dedicated readers a day, or you can support yourself on artwork alone, you need some PR in your corner.

I already get more visitors than 1000 on days that I update, but I think I'm far away from being able to support myself on my art alone. Someday.
I've just been informed the French is, yet again, completely incorrect. You'd think Google Translator would be able to translate simple stuff like "wake up" and "help," but you would be wrong.

It was a B movie when I was dealing with them, but since then they got picked up by New Line. Which is owned by AOL Time Warner, the largest corporation on the planet. They can afford to advertise the movie on my face if they wanted.
Nope, haven't seen it. I don't plan on seeing it until I'm done with the comic, so I probably won't watch it anytime soon. That's okay, it doesn't really look like the kind of zombie movie I'd be into anyway.
on the scene with the plane floating in the water, i would rethink the ripples or waves painted on there.
they are in a cool grey instead of a warm grey like the rest of the comic, and are too numerous and repetitive. also, their curve doesn't match the reflections that are already in the water. i find them a visual distraction from an otherwise very well-drawn -inked and -shaded image.
the dialogue in the last panel of the second to last page is kinda confusing.
It seems kinda strange that after the girl says "...but we're ok i guess" the guy would ask "is everyone ok?"
maybe just have the attendent say "it was a pretty rough landing."
as is it's just kinda weird...
Love the comic though!!!
Right, well, the "everyone" is supposed to be in italics. Like "we're okay, I guess." "Is EVERYONE okay?" Maybe it's not as italicized as I had meant it to be. I can see why it might be confusing.

Query: Did you letter that by hand or with a font?
(Yes, the "Query" was unavoidably robot inspired)
It's hand lettered, all of it. Even the logo.

However awesome your comic is, something doesn't seem to mesh.
Eh? I'm confused. What doesn't seem to mesh?

I think they're interesting to look at.
Done for a Dragon Ball Z draw-off at Penciljack. I literally know nothing about this show, I just googled "Dragon Ball Z" and drew this character.

Really like the overall art and story though, and even more so Robot 2047. I wish there were more of that.
Me too, actually. I may do more, or expand the characters into something larger once Flight of the Living Dead is over.
