Welcome to 2013! 2012 was a great year for the comic, though I expect even more for 2013. It is, actually, just nice to be writing these weekly updates again after the break.
Now, you didn’t expect Gibson here to get very far, did you? The grav bike was a nice attempt, though. I’m glad A2A is starting out with a nice grav bike chase, however short-lived…
Gibson Eightsix’s escape attempt this week screamed for ‘Headlong Flight’ from Rush’s 2012 album, Clockwork Angels. This is one of my favorite albums of 2012 – a Rush steampunk album? What could go wrong? It is a little heavier than some of their recent offerings, which is nice. Also, how about their long-overdue induction into the Rock y Roll Hall of Fame? About naffing time. Chris will agree with me here.
I was thinking about favorite albums from 2012. Anything stand out for you? I have a few- I’ll post them next week.
Finally, I have a rare recommendation. d.Forrest, friend of the comic, has recently loaded up the first page of his new webcomic, The Legendary Sisters of the Laughing Doggebi. It is an intriguing mix of Korean history/fantasy/mythology. It has just started, so now is probably a good time to check it out. I’ve seen a lot of concept art for the comic and it looks great.

Love the circular frame showing Gibson’s surprise, its like a rear view mirror view, don’t know if that was intentional or not. Favourite album of 2012: Handwritten by the Gaslight Anthem, hands down.
Can you spot the hat-tip to my second favorite sci-fi series?
Gaslight Anthem- nice choice.
The green dude on the from of the tank reminds of Ghost Busters.
Spotted it, maybe Gibson should have been carrying a towel?
d.Forrest’s deviantart gallery is amazing! I actually found Free Mars from the tribute sketch he did of the Sisters Grimm. I’m excited to see what he does with his comic. Very cool you gave him a nod! Amanda Palmer and The Grand Theft Orchestra’s “Theater Is Evil” is my vote for favorite album… what can I say I love my punk rock girls.
I like the bird before the crash. And I’m guessing they don’t pick up hitchhikers.
I guess great works of art like Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy endure even in the far dystopian future. Actually, I can totally seem some gunship crew who’s leader is a sci-fi geek painting that on the hull
I squealed so hard when I saw the Hitchhiker’s Guide logo. Props to y’all for that, darlings, the maddest of mad props.
I guess I lose any nerd cred I thought I had I had for not recognizing that.
I love the onomatopoeia shaped panel Nic did here… There should be a word for that… onomatopanel? TM!!!
