Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep? comic

[Batty]

I stopped reading comics a few years ago, but I think I'll be reading this. It's pretty cool that it'll include the full text from the novel.

That sounds really cool.....I haven't read the novel yet. I know, bad Jen bad! But I may still check this out anyway.

Very interesting... I really enjoy the book and this sounds like a very cool idea.

I'd really like to read it but can never find the novel locally, hadn't really thought about looking online. I'm gonna have to check the comic out too in June.

It's a good way to introduce an important writer to a new generation; I look forward to it.

Pretty nice. I have the Marvel movie adaption. Also a great addition to the BR universe, since it's slightly different from any movie version I've seen yet, but undoubting the novel adaption will be completely different. I'm very curious about this, and will most certainly not miss it! Thanks for the heads up Batty.

If this ends up somewhere along the lines of the Ender's Game comic adaptation, I'd be content.

Thanks for putting this on my radar.

Damn, 2 years till the end of the story...

I will be collecting it for sure though!

 

[Deckard]

Great news and about time. Already can't wait for the inevitable HC release in like 2 years.

 

[Darth Snoopy]

I still have the Marvel movie adaptation somewhere...

This is pretty interesting. The book is very (radically) different from the movie. It will be interesting to see what the opinion is of people that only know the movie. Doubt if I'll get each part of the 24 part series, but if they gather it up in a collection at the end I might go for that.

Here are the cover variants for issue number one (I couldn't find a larger pic of cover C). There is only going to be 1 in 25 copies of the 4th cover.

The Boom Studios press release.

Already starting off with variant covers. I thought the comic book companies learned their lesson back in the 90's.

 

[Batty]

I think Marvel still pumps variants out. I know smaller independent companies do.

It doesn't bother me. I only plan on getting one.

I'm not familiar with Boom. Are they the sort I can do my usual and wait until it's in a tpb/hardcover?
