Hi all,

So I sat down and read the iBooks "Magnus Robot Fighter" last weekend...

Lol...yes :)

I still am very happy to have the book, Mark...I thank you again for giving the copy to me :)

While this book had good potential, it just seemed VERY sloppy and had an unfinished feel to it? I dunno...

I'm not surprised to hear it felt unfinished, as I believe plans were in place to have this version become a 48 page quarterly or bi-monthly.

You couldn't have summed this book up any better. I was very disappointed with it. Though I will admit Leeja was pretty awesome in it.

It certainly seemed that it was meant to be the first of many. But the unfinished aspect that I was writing about was just the presentation of this issue. I dunno...the artwork seemed rushed, the script was sloppy...

I'm really looking forward to next week's Magnus #1 :)

I know what you mean. Additionally, the writer-I think it was Louise Simonson of Man of Steel fame-said there were big production headaches with all the Ibooks.
