Make it for yourself, make it the best it can possibly be. Then share it around and prepare to be heart broke. Then do the entire process again, learning from your mistakes. And again. And again. The only people who should do this are people who HAVE to do it, for themselves, first and foremost. They're the only people who will have the determination to get where they want to go.

All that being said, good luck!

oh i'm used to heart break i'm the guy who does tv and intro recreations that barely get 200 hits in 10 years , while some other guy who copied me has his work go viral over night. go figure .

I'm basically spending my own money, $100 a page for at least 24 pages, to slowly, get a complete issue done. If I have to, i'll do a limited publication myself to see what people other than friends and family think. i might be able to afford one or two more issues. it's not so much money, as the time my wonderful artist has to work on a freelance project.


but the art is well worth the wait. I have a full 'season' of 24 issues planned out if it ever got lucky enough to b e picked up. with 4 other, less evolved ideas also waiting to b e tried.

all a matter of hoping one hits.

That's the thing to do!

So if Hakk-R's data said that the Occuli were the fifth witness... and pretty much nobody knew that "Polly" would be the one that was to accompany them back....

Why is Polly shown on the list of witnesses in #73?

Dimension X sort of feels like the filler mini-arc of DBZ between Piccolo giving Gohan the sword and Goku. You know, the stuff about Gohan learning not to be such a wuss, only for Gohan to start acting like a wuss again when the show gets back to the plot.

I'm guessing Dimension X is sort of like that, filler of sorts.

How is Hakk-R meant to be pronounced?

Hock-R? Hack-R? Hacker? Hocker? H'kar?

We've been saying Hack-R in the office.

Just imagine, Hack-R Noir, the new men's fragrance for interdimensional bounty hunters everywhere!

The honest answer is me not thinking of that detail and relaying it to Tom when the time was right!

Sounds like a No-Prize to me!
