Full Series *Official* TCW online comics thread

Tonight... Hodges... Hidalgo... LIVE the Forcecast... BE THERE: http://forcecast.net/

 

Thanks Tom!

Also: extra lives for the Doc Holliday reference.

 

Very cool, I'll listen in.

How about a Grievous drawing?

 

-Artwork...pretty...thank you very much!

Copied from lit thread:

So, we finally get to see Ukio...sweet.

I Liked the agricorps member too. Not everyone is a jedi afte rall. Though we have recently seen more of the agricorps than the other service corps. I get the medical corps is small, but how about the education corps and explorer corps?

Kid was rude. This amuses me.

Great heart to heart between the Padawan and his Clone Commander. Ganch almost seems like a better jedi teacher than Tyzen's actual jedi teachers.

Anyway, I am really liking everything about Act On Instinct. The characters, the art, story overall, the politics...good stuff. Good stuff.

 

Pretty cool that they're using Ukio, a very obscure Zahn trilogy creation. Also points for exploring the AgriCorps and the fact that Jedi assigned to it are washout padawans.

And yeah, Ganch rules. Talk about a man commited to his duties.

 

I'm glad you guys are digging the direction. I think a lot of people are going to really become attached to Ganch as the story progresses. Tyzen has a lot to learn and We just introduced Keelyvine... give her some time.

 

QFT.

 

I'm looking forward to her giving those dual sabers a whirl.

 

I have something special going on Friday, head to my website for details: http://www.tomhodges.com/?p=500

 

New chapter's up!

Fisto fans rejoice. Double dose of Kit today!

 

I'm rejoicing!!! Whether the old Webcomics were good or not, this Webcomic series rules!

Yes, it's because Kit is in it.

Seriously though, I am interested in seeing how this story fills out. Tyzen is Aang and that Devaronian girl is Katarra.

 

I would like to see Tyzen learn and develop under the tutelage of Ganch. Keelyvine doesn't want him. He's growing up during a war with a Clone Commander breed for war.

 

I agree, he does seem to learn more from Ganch then he does his Jedi masters.(although I'm not sure how much he learned under Master Ropal...it seems a good bit if he was so profoundly affected by his death.)

It's a shame we can't see this padawan in action in the actual series, I actually like his character and look forward to seeing more installments of this story.

 

I'm getting into this story but when is the next chapter due.

 

You never know... It could be next week, it could be next month. The unpredictability of this thing's releases makes it hard to really get into it.

 

Due to the Holiday, there will not be a Web Comic with this weeks (January 1st) new episode. We come back in full swing Next Week!

A quick heads up for fans of the series. I have made available a set of pages from this season and the information can be found here: http://threads.rebelscum.com/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=4038763&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=93&fpart=1#4038763

 

Tyzen is Aang and that Devaronian girl is Katarra.
Hmmm...I also thought Tyzen reminded me of Aang, but I don't know why.

 

Finally, new webcomic...

EDIT: Captain McQuarrie.

 

Wow, at long last!

Wow, I had no idea that Pharl McQuarrie was already an established character, appearing the background in Ep5!

And cool to see a sort of early version of the Orbital Nightcloak seen in Courtship of Princess Leia.

 

Seems a lot more cost effective than a night cloak....

Yeah, great siege weapon. It either forces them to drop their shields or starve to death. Win-win for the attacker.

 

Yes, very interesting...But I wonder how the padawans will play into this?

 

This was something I was very proud to be able to do because I know Ralph. I've been around him several times, the last time was at his Birthday party earlier this summer. It breaks my heart he can no longer create but LOVES to chat with artists. Loves looking at artists work. A few pics of us at the Presidio (some with Dennis Muren):

In this one, the gentleman to Ralph's left was showing us the Digital Karen Allen model in action for Indy 4 (We were at ILM during Post)

In this one, we're watching a Modeler building in 3D what would eventually be the USS Kelvin from the opening of "Star Trek":

So you can only imagine how much getting him in the comic meant to me.

 

Pretty incredible photos. Can't imagine what it would be like to share an artistic experience with somebody like Ralph McQuarrie...would be like talking to Picasso or something.

Thanks for sharing the photos, a small part of me was like YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

 

Hey! Remember the webcomic?! Well, I sure don't...

It's really sad what happened to this. I think by now it's safe to say that moving away from tie-in short stories and into a long paralel story arc was a mistake. How can anyone connect to an ongoing story that is told a few pages at a time, released almost monthly? That kind of sporadic release schedule works all right for independent short stories that just serve to introduce and expand on the current episode. With an ongoing tale it just kills it dead. I remember reading about the writers having hopes of making Ganch and that zabrak padawan into recognizable and loved characters. Well, fat chance of that when I can't even remember the name of that zabrak padawan, it's been so long since I last read about his exploits...

 

Yup. IMHO, disconnecting it from the animated series just made it more EU. No offense to the talented artists working on it.
