What a cliffhanger to the latest issue (regarding Quon's revelation)! And as always, the next issue cannot come soon enough. Five issues in, and this is one of the best comics out there.

Issue 5 was so great! The plot thickens and the cliffhanger was awesome!

This is my favorite comic book at this time great art, great concept and great characters boy I love this comic.
[QUOTE=Ragdoll;1340118]Issue 5 was pretty decent. The reveal at the end was pretty crazy. The issue was brutal, and next month we get to see the big climax to the first arc. I wonder what the stakes will be once the first volume is closed out. Predictions? I think Driller will die in a heroic fashion in the arena.[/QUOTE]
Please don't let driller die.

I hope he doesn't either, but even if it's not in the pits, I get the feeling that he's gonna sacrifice himself at some point in the not too distant future.
Yeah, I'm a fan. Initially picked it up because of the art (I mean, who wouldn't, really?) but have enjoyed the story too up to this point. Issue Five's cliffhanger was great, it feels like the story can really push into a higher gear now as a result.

Co-signed. It's the perfect book.

It's Tintin on steroids.
Another great issue. Lots of plot development and I really like Lemire's pacing with how he peppers in little (and big) reveals each issue. Quon's reveal was great and was nicely foreshadowed with stuff like how quickly he was ready to sell out Tesla last issue. Thought it was cool how the kitchen cook was spying on the UGC. I like how Bandit is adorable yet all the characters find him so annoying. The main cast here is such a great bunch.
THEY CANNOT KILL DRILLER. I forbid it.
The art was soooooo good this issue. Just amazing.

Again not driller anybody but him.
Do we know when 7 is coming or is 6 the last one? Hope not.

The tpb comes out in September for 1-6. It'll probably be back a month or 2 after that. It's planned to be like 24 issues or so. I don't see it ending before then.
I'm also afraid Driller is going to die in the Arena. I hope not and that at the worst maybe he'll just be really badly damaged but I've sort of having that feeling of dread ever since they introduced Driller to the story that he won't have a good ending. I hope I'm wrong.
How did everyone react to Quon's confession at the end of issue 5? It was a great twist, but I think I was sort of expecting him to say something like that so it didn't take me off guard quite as much. Quon seemed sketchy to me in the earlier issues after Telsa and the gang found him and I kept wondering why he wouldn't know anything about the Harvesters if he was the supposed father of robotics.

Only 24? That is both good and bad. Good because after long runs of series like the sixth gun, chew and morning glories it is nice to have a quick 2 1/2 year story. Sad because the art and story are sooo good!
