First Impressions of Novel

I see this as a good first effort. It is solid material and I urge all fans of the OSM to obtain a copy, read it and present their opinions here.

I do not want to give away the plotline - other than what has already been discussed here, re: Mystron, etc.

I will say that the byplay at the end between Colossus Rex and Orbitron (about Orbitron's nudity) was quite amusing. As was the earlier bit about Rex's excuse for being late for the meeting.

But, let's not make C. Rex into a buffoon...

Further comments from my side may be coming; however, I do not want to prejudice readers with respect to their own comments. Rather, I'd prefer for now to facilitate discussion and enter the "fray" once it is started.

Got Book

I just received the graphic novel today. I'll need some time to read it carefully and "digest" it and then I'll comment on it here. I'd also like to hear from others when they've read the book - stop by and leave some comments.

Current Polling

This is still early for the popularity polling, but there are some interesting trends. For series one, I'm not surprised by the popularity of Colossus Rex and Astro-Nautilus (as well as Alpha-7), but I am surprised that Commander Comet is right up there in the running. I note that Xodiac and Orbitron haven't yet received any votes. While neither of those two are my favorites (I voted for Astro-Nautilus, but it's really more or less equal with him and Colossus Rex), I do think both characters are under-rated. That'll be a topic for the next opinion poll.

The big surprise for series two is the very strong showing for Mystron, which supports the idea of having him as a major player in the first graphic novel. I would have thought Gemini would be a clear winner. Anyway, it is still early.

Mystron The Villain

According to this, the villain in the upcoming graphic novel will be the second series character Mystron. That's interesting, and we will see how that character is handled in the book.

With four votes in so far, Mystron is leading the favorites for second series characters. It will be interesting to see how this may change with the graphic novel.
