Hrmmm... Crudtacular would fit, wouldn't it?
Maybe even some cream of Craptitude?
It's out, but I have heard form a number of people now (even in Australia) whose comic stores had no idea this was released this week. All I know is my comic store had 5 issues left as of 5pm Friday, but then again the same comic store has 2 issues of books #1 and #2 on the shelves as well...

Hell I would have been willing to put the extra work in for free! If it's too expensive to get a proof reader GIVE IT TO THE FANS! Find a fan with good Grammar, ask for a favor... I'd do it... and anyone who would expect money for it (without good reason) could really do with an attitude adjustment.
I read both source books in a few hours each, add in time for proof reading and editing and you're looking at maybe a day? Spread that so you do a few pages ever day then it'll only take a week. And if you only give ten pages to one proof reader and ten to another and ten to another, etc, then it'll be done faster.
Hell, get 25 proof readers (2 pages each) on one issue and it'll be done within the hour.

Aside from that, yeah. Believe you me that the moment I'm able, I'll be pulling a Comic Book Guy and registering my disgust throughout the net.
AxiomScion wrote:but first... would you think there is some credence to Justicity's suggested fan based editing team? I mean we're already being used for our money, so why not our job earning talents? Especially if they can make it sound like a good thing for everyone... fans having a small hand in the quality product they know and hold dear... and all for the love of the mythos...
Mosaic is a primary example of what a fan base community can accomplish on there own, Imagine if they were even marginally backed by IDW or vise versa...
Justicity wrote:Wow, thanks for listening to my point!
I seriously suggest we email a link to this thread to someone at IDW or PM it to an IDW member on these boards. If sections of scripts, not even artwork, was sent out to fans in such a manner that it didn't spoil the end product for them, then we could change small errors, spelling, grammar, "name", etc.

That's one of the things wrong with your great idea from their point of view, and probably why they would not approve any such thing...the 'secrets' would get out!
No matter how many non-disclosure agreements are signed, you know it would happen, and that would ruin it super-fast, and then we may not even have TFs at IDW, and we'll be left with no TF comics/fiction to read and enjoy.
It seems like something they need to take care of in house. I don't read any of their other titles, but errors do happen in all companies, but because some are smaller companies, I suppose they do not have as much money to commit to some things, and need to do more pick and choose on where the money is spent.
I'd prefer errors, and the current quality of writing and art we have, when the alternative may be less titles, or no titles...

Leave it to Dead Metal to have the word 'Pronz' in his signature.
