OK, so I am curious - as a big Rai fan, is this series something to at least look at, or stay far away from? Any advice is welcome (pertaining to the subject.)

Nice qualifier

It's complete so it's worth reading.

I know you guys - the qualifier was a neccesity.

And what might one pay for one of these? I see some issues on eBay, but they want $9.99 each though...

If you take your time you can usually find these books VF for cover price or so.

I think it's worth reading, but I enjoyed the Acclaim stuff. It's a good read, but it's nothing earthshattering. I wouldn't hold it up to the pre-Unity Rai books or the "Bad Penny" storyline, but it won't make you puke either. ~Erskine

I'm a huge Rai fan as well and I didn't care for N.I.O. at all myself. I think you'll feel the same way after reading it.

It's not bad.....but like I've said many times Iiked the Acclaim stuff also.

Slym.....NO more polls....please

i've read parts of it-and if i would not have read (as in an editorial) about the rai connection, i never would have made the connection on my own. i'm not saying that nio is a bad book-just that it didn't seem to be there for me...rai of course was my mostest favoritist character of all...

It has more in common with video game-type stuff like Megaman than the V.U.

Wasn't too bad, though.

Only three people voted for no more polls? I'm dis-appointed in you guys...

-slym (has only run 3 or 4 in the past)

For some reason, that doesn't sit too well with me.

-slym (found a #1 on eBay - BIN for 48 cents - ???)

Just rechecked on what it was - the connection to Rai is interesting. I might be interested in checking it out sometime.

As of yet, I still only have issue #3 of N.I.O. I've been trying ot find the rest of the series to give it a read, but I've been luckless so far.

What's N.I.O. again???

Byrneout · Post by **Byrneout** » Thu Mar 09, 2006 8:30 am

Nanite Infused Organism.

It's a Rai revamp from Acclaim.

David_Cody · Post by **David_Cody** » Thu Mar 09, 2006 9:04 am

Wow, still never heard of it. So I checked the site and lo and behold, there's four issues of N.I.O. I didn't read much of the Acclaim stuff outside of Magnus and Bloodshot.

Because of the above, I voted the last choice.

(PSST - there's a N.I.O. #1 on eBay right now, BIN of 48 cents with $2.50 S&H.)

Yep, but that doesn't get me issues #2 and 4.

However... thanks for the word, I'll take a look just in case...

That's what I was thinking, but it's on my watch list.

NIO #2 cover always hit me as being similar to Rai #3 cover. I wonder if that was planned?
