Sold Out Comic Forum

Here's the basis of the story, I've got more detail fleshed out but I think this suffices for a basic rundown of Chapter 1:

We follow our protagonists, Zach and Ralph - your average 20-something quarter-life crisis fuck-up slackers, as they continue trying to live their lives despite the apocolypse that just hit.  They're perfectly comfortable goofing about in the remnants of Hunstville, Alabama; ground zero for the rise of sentience of electronics - until The Resistance, a swarm of ex-militia rednecks wielding steampunk gear, decide to march on their street.  After unsucessfully trying to disuade The Reistance that marching on their home turf will do nothing, the robotic overlords send a "greeting team" to gather them up.  They are given two options - serve in their "servitude camps," or join the questionable Beta Squad as undercover cyborgs.

Thoughts?

My idea is that these robots do not see themselves as leading the holocaust against humanity that they actually are running, but instead see themselves as ascerting their role as the superior "race" on Earth.  Thusly why all of their killers and assassins are programmed to be as absolutely civil as possible while gunning down waves of humans.

I've written before, just never posted most of my writings here.  I could, really.  I tend to write more serious things when I write for myself.

That said, though, I've been thinking and this whole plot idea comes at an interesting time, with NaNoWriMo being around the corner - so I think this very well might be a story.  A comic would be nice, but it's going to be so dialogue heavy I just don't see how it would work in that format.

Pffff. I'm actually doing a couple chapters of my mecha comic for a scholarship portfolio anyway, so... yeah.

That's one of those things I mean to read, but I'm between 1/2 and 2/3rds of the way through a trilogy depending on how much you count the fourth one.
(no, not that, a different one).

Ah, here's this. I was poking around for a while looking for it. I found posts by me. I'm strange and semicoherent, you should all congratulate yourself for putting up with me. Thanks!

So, NoSaNoOs has lapsed... no, that's my avatar. NaNoWriMo is the thing I mean; it's over. How done is your novel, Kite? Any amount?
In lieu of that, how about anyone except me post something?

edit: Ah, it's Dai Gurren now. I thought it was still NoSaNoOs (this thing. This is a strange person. If you like weird corners of the internet, that page is one.)

The last 2/3rds of the second paragraph are what matters. I see you got at least the last sentence there.

Here we are inside a see-through dream, I know. Living pictures fall apart and scream.
Here through the blackened vines you see the snow as it gently falls, and right to sleep you go.

...Well not really, but. Yeah. I don't know. o_o

I'm confused after hearing my grandma tell me about the lady in the closet that she keeps seeing.

This is a link to this file,
