Daily Hyperspace SW Comic Strip Adventures Discussion-"Rookies" & "Evasive Action: End Game"

...Inquisitor Ameesa Darys?

... has anyone ever taken a really close look at that name?

Should we have...?

 

>Grr. To read it I have to change my resolution settings, because the window doesn't open large enough to see the whole comic. <

How does one do that? I can't read all of Prey either...

Try hitting F11 with the pop-up open, that might work.

 

From the Start menu, go to "Settings" > "Control Panel"
Doubl-click the "Display" icon
Click the "Settings" tag
Move the "Screen Area" slider to "1024x768", or any larger setting
Should do the trick.

 

I never thought bringing a larger format would cause so many issues.

 

Darth Vader remembering the name of the dead Jedi Knight was a nice touch. Gives the feeling that he has a personal investment in every jedi hunt while it is just another day on the job for the inquizzies...

 

I particularly liked the mention of the Zeltron Jedi. Nice Marvel reference

 

Cynical: Yea, I liked that about this script. I doubt it will end there...

Zebra3: Another nice touch Paul put in there, I agree!

I'm curious to get folks thoughts on the larger format.

 

The larger format is fine for me. It does sort of take away from the "newspaper strip" feel that I liked but I always like to be able to see more of the artwork.

 

Should we have...?

Maybe not.

Maybe I'm just seeing things..

You're right, the similarity is uncanny.

I might have to ask Abel about that, since it was either him or Juan Schwartz that put her into the Emperor's Pawns article. Perhaps he secretly has a crush on her...

(Unless, of course, she comes from an earlier source that I can't think of right now.)

 

Tom - I'm loving the new larger size. It works really well in the format, everythings a lot clearer and crisper. It looks really great.

 

I LOVE it, the graphics are just stunning now! It's definitely increased the value of the Hyperspace membership in my opinion.

But I'd still like to see webstrips in the old format continue as well. While Prey looks like it's going to be a story of epic proportion, I still want to keep seeing new strips such as Pablo's Rookiees, so we can still have great new "local" stories in the classic style too.

Let's have the best of both worlds

I would never finish on time if I had to produce that much art each week. I'm already falling behind! I'm glad Tom went with this approach. It looks fantastic!

Besides, "Rookies" is about the little guys.

I'm loving Rookies.

 

The only thing that bothers me about the Evasive Action series (now that I've got the window to open up all the way; thanks guys) is the way each new story jumps way ahead of the cliffhanger ending of the last story. ROF ended with the padawans trapped in a bunker on Felucia; EAR picked up with them on Corucscant months later, EAR ended with Drake jumping out of the transport, and Tremayne vowing to find the Jedi before Vader got back, EAP began with Vader returning, apparently quite a while after the first strip ended, since Tremayne is pursuing other Jedi! When are we going to find out what happened between the stories?

Cool new format though. And I love the humor in Rookies.

Sorry if this seems like a stupid question, but is anyone else missing the previous and next buttons on the bottom of the window? I ask only because when I load the new strip, it shows panel 3, but I can't access 1 or 2.

 

Just tap F11.

 

Thanks. So far Prey is looking as good as the two strips that preceded it. Not to mention with the promise of Prince Xizor showing up and seeing more of Black Sun, that's just cool.

 

Yeah, and her brother, Moff Daaveedsa Darys.

 

I couldn't quite make it out from today's EA strip, but did Vader just stab an already dead Jedi? I'm suspecting this is more of Vader's personal beliefs about how Jedi should treated.
