Highlander 3030

[Nicholas Ward]

It didn't seem to have it's own topic yet.

So let's talk about the Highlander 3030 comic here!

[Takk]

Oooo, I didn't know this was a thing. I'm gonna have to get it added to my pull list.

[Takk]

Oh, well that sucks.

[Nicholas Ward]

If people want it bad enough, I'll screencap it and post it here.

Hopefully Andrew Modeen won't use his banhammer for that.

[Takk]

I doubt Andrew would ban you, but I could see him deleting the thread and telling you not to do it again. Either way, it's a moot point because I wouldn't ask you to do it. Thanks, though.

I have the ecomic. I do wish the art had been better.

[Andrew NDB]

I forget, was there ever a #2?

[Nicholas Ward]

No, there was never an issue #2 although it was supposedly pretty far in production. They lost the licence July 1st 2016.
I think Emerald star went belly up shortly after because I don't see anything from them after 2016.

Anyway: is it OK to post the comic?

[PAX0342]

Was this a physical comic? I’ve only seen or heard of the e-comic version.

[dubiousbystander]

Yes, it was. Very limited, though. I did find this review of it. Not undeserved.

Here´s another review:

There was an element of intrigue to it, but for one thing, that writer's lack of interest in Highlander as a whole probably made the story palatable to him. We are oddly not as divided as he seems to believe. Are we?

There were items set up. Such as why Duncan has white hair (I'm given to understand he's been infected with some disease), who/what captured and brainwashed Immortals turning them into psychotic sadistic killers (on the implication that this happened to the one who is our antagonist).

For me, the eye-rolling annoyance is that people keep trying to weasel out of "There can be only one."

All of Highlander 3030 seemed -- to me, at the time -- as kind of coming from the same mindset as TPTB during "The Source." As in, they either don't like what "real Highlander" feels like or feel that "real Highlander" is flawed or broken... so let's do something drastically different and out there.

[Nicholas Ward]

This had so much potential. It's sad it couldn't continue.

[Andrew NDB]

It'd have been nice if they at least completed the first storyline. To properly judge.

To be fair, all highlander entries changed things quite drastically.

There's some great art around for it too:

[dubiousbystander]

Was that one of the covers we never got? See, that's good art.

Yes, I think that might be an intended cover.

I've found some others too (not colored):



Like I said, it's a shame the series didn't progress.
Much potential.

And there's this:

So there might have been plans for a web-comic?

I don't think so. I think it's more that this was his offer for one of the covers. You might ask him for more details about it! https://www.facebook.com/dean.zachary

Anyone know how I can get a copy of this? Can't find it anywhere, physical or digital.

Yep ... I second that question

[Andrew NDB]

It's probably super rare by this point. I doubt a lot of copies were printed.
