Sorry for the lack of 8-bit this weekend. Real world stuff takes priority over 8-bit when there’s a conflict between them because failure to meet real deadlines/events screws other people out of revenue. I’d rather take a hit myself than cost someone else something.

We’ll be back on schedule Tuesday.

Just a reminder that The Iron Highlander bickett xxxWarbot in Accounting updated yesterday and a heads up that 8-bit Theater updated a few minutes ago. Enjoy!

Remember, Saturday is Free Comic Book Day. I will be signing at Sci-Fi City in Orlando, FL just like last year and I’ll swing by Bad Apple Comics UCF. Drop by, say hello, get free stuff!

Lastly, it seems that Atomic Robo and the Shadow From Beyond Time #1 didn’t make it to every store this week. That would be Diamond‘s fault. They promise everyone will have it next week, but then they promised everyone would have it this week. Service with a smirk.

EDIT: I have seen the shipping lists, the issue will definitely be available everywhere on the 6th. I love Diamond. I love Diamond so goddamn much it hurts. Like a heart attack.

ComiXology le vaughn has a five page preview of Atomic Robo and the Shadow From Beyond Time #1.

Meanwhile, the fourth issue is is now available for pre-order locally and online — Team Robo likes Heavy Ink, but you’ve got options.

And just so I don’t create a third straight Robo post, you can look at this here.

I dream about time travel. Not often, but often enough that it’s a theme. You know?

And I don’t mean, like, seeing dinosaurs or the 18th century. It’s always this weird illustration of a paradox or an ironic twist out of Twilight Zone.

For example, in my most recent time travel dream I fell into the near future, maybe a matter of a few hours, where my actions indirectly killed someone across the street whom I couldn’t see. I fell back into the present where I spent the next couple of hours kind of freaking out about the whole event, took a drive to clear my head, got out to stretch my legs, and had the most gut wrenching sense of déjà vu you can imagine. I knew instantly what you figured out a couple sentences ago if you’ve read more than a handful of sci-fi stories — I was about to be killed by me. The realization woke me up like when you dream about falling — only it was the inevitability of causality instead of gravity that terrified me awake.

I mean, what the hell was that about, subconscious?
