Granted . . . at least as far as OBS is concerned. There was that panel of her aboard Tepes however, hmmmmm? ;) If you haven't already read the books you might be excused for not knowing if she's going to survive that. :P

Although, admittedly, character-centered series being character-centered series . . . . . :roll:

I missed the second issue as it was sold out. It takes me over an hour to drive to the comic book store.

I loved it. Makes me want to collect the comics too.

But I agree, the voice over sounds like it's being read from a teleprompter. The guy sounds far removed from being an Honorverse fan himself. I could be wrong, but that's how he sounds. And where'd he get that voice? He sounds like he's being forced to read the lines at gunpoint.

I could've recommended a few die-hard forumites that would've delivered much better.

Son, your mother says I have to hang you. Personally I don't think this is a capital offense. But if I don't hang you, she's gonna hang me and frankly, I'm not the one in trouble. —cthia's father. Incident in ? Axiom of Common Sense

I liked the graphics, however I agree the voice over could have been better, were did that get that guy some one holding a sign 'Will work for food'?

Yes a very 'tele-prompted' read, with pauses used in place of inflection. :roll:

I also like how they hawk all the Evergreen-related products at the end, but conveniently leave out the Weber novels ... to avoid confusion with the graphic novels? :?

(They did however make the mistake of leaving in a reference to the 'Honorverse', so a newcomer who bothers to type that into a search engine will be able to find and notice that the product is associated with some David Weber person who seems to have also written a sleet of novels in that 'verse). :o

Other than that, nice video composition, ... my opinion on the art choices can be seen in my comments on the two first Tales. (I do like the Stilties in a fishing boat, that image has a nice touch to it).
