- Robot 13, a quarterly comic written by Thomas Hall with art by Daniel Bradford, is described by its creator thusly: “On the surface, the comic is about a skull headed robot who fights giant monsters from Greek Mythology. From a storytelling standpoint, however, it’s somewhat a reworking of Frankenstein meeting Homer’s Odyssey- it’s the story of a thing created by Science who goes on a Hero’s journey of sorts to find out who he really is…” It looks cool. Check out ComicMix’s coverage as well.

John, I appreciate the linkage!
No problem, Heather. Keep up the good work.
Card is on my list. Ok, fine, he thought the science in the new Trek was ok, while it was laughable in the original series. That would be enough. But then he says that DeForest Kelley was the worst actor in the series! Shut your hole, Card.
