Lonely Soldier Boy Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 (edited) Hi all. I hope the moderators allow me to pimp my book here. The first miniseries became somewhat of a small cult thing, so with that in mind I put all my skill to keep this second installment on the level. Here's the cover. Also Dark Horse has a four page preview of the book here: http://www.darkhorse.com/profile/profile.php?sku=13-691 Let me know what you my trusted fellow macrossworlders, think of it.

David Hingtgen Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 I was going to post in the comic thread that I found and bought it today. (At my local friendly independent comic shop) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr March Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Strange. This is the first I've heard of the book. The four-page preview was somewhat amusing, maybe I'll check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted March 30, 2006 Author Share Posted March 30, 2006 It wasn't much of a commercial success when the first miniseries came out, now the first two issues are really hard to get. Kevin Rubio, the writer, told me that a first issue just went on eBay for 170 bucks. To think I gave away my courtesy copies to my friends...

Guppy Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Hilarious! And that's what the Lucas-fun-hating star wars universe really needs. Great work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted March 30, 2006 Author Share Posted March 30, 2006 Hey if you have anymore copies to give away at DH I'll be happy to keep 'em safe for ya. I love the cover! We should have a bunch to give away at the San Diego Comic Con. And if I get an hotel room they'll be even signed by me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted March 30, 2006 Author Share Posted March 30, 2006 I gotta see if my store got this, I loved the first one. Kevin writing is as great as always, but my work really improved in all these years. I think you'll love this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted March 30, 2006 Author Share Posted March 30, 2006 Hilarious! And that's what the Lucas-fun-hating star wars universe really needs. Great work! Thanks, Man. Kevin and I are both huge Star Wars fans and also huge Star Wars critics. If you liked the first issue you'll love the second one that takes place in the prequels, where theres' so much to say! Sadly we only had 22 pages to say it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight26 Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 I love Tag and Bink I will have to find a comic book shop and pick it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rider Faiz Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Oddly enought, I just saw this yesterday in my local comic shop and leafed through it to see what the hell it was. Didn't pick it up though as I didn't have enough cash on me. -RF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radd Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 So difficult to get out to a comic store, they're usually opening as I'm going to sleep, and long closed when I'm rolling out of bed to shower before work. Still, getting my hands on this is one of the things I'm really looking forward to. It's frustrating that so many of my favourite things are commercial flops. I hope this new book does better than previous Tag&Bink books in that regard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sephiroth Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 The artist for Tag & Bink is a fellow member of MW? That is so cool! I remember picking up Tag & Bink Are Dead issues 1 and 2 from the book store in the mall when they first came out. Although I'm not a huge fan of SW and had never bought any SW-related comics before then; the title and cover art caught my attention and so I had to give the first issue a try. The story had me laughing out loud and the art was great. I saw the ads for the new installment of Tag & Bink in Wizard and I can't wait to get my hands on them.

Rocket Punch Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 This looks pretty neat. I'll make it a point to pick this up, Soldier Boy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted April 3, 2006 Author Share Posted April 3, 2006 I think it's worth the reading (tho' I say so myself). Kevin is a very smart writer and I do my best to keep up with him. We even have fans among the Star Wars comics purists, that usually refuse to buy non-canon books! Kevin told me last time we met in L.A. a few days back, that Wizard magazine named it the 4th greatest SW comic of all time. Personally, I don't believe it. Also I was told of a trade paperback to be released later this year, but no one as asked me for a cover for that one yet, so I'm not sure about that either.

David Hingtgen Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 I'm enjoying KOTOR a lot too, only SW book I'm currently reading. (Asides from Tag and Bink of course) Who else thinks yellow will be the saber color of choice now for KOTOR 3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted April 3, 2006 Author Share Posted April 3, 2006 I would like copies signed please. We'll probably have a bunch signed by me and Kevin, at the Dark Horse booth for free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radd Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 The important question, is when will Lucasfilm hire Kevin to do an animated Tag & Bink television series or movie? Or Tag and Bink appearing on an episode of the ongoing TROOPS tv series? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
