Thank you for reminding me that BI is once again an ongoing comic. I
believe that was mentioned here before, but it didn't stick for some reason.
Yay, new BI to read,
Tony
And as a reminder, he writes decent SF novels as well.
He is indeed on my short list as someone to try this year - any suggestions? >- Tony
So far the only books of his I have read are in the "Magic 2.0" series
(and I think I'm a couple of books behind). It turns out that the world
is a computer simulation (apparently -- one of the main characters has
big problems with that), and when people notice that they tend to go
back in time and live as wizards. Which is ridiculous you will say, but
then maybe the simulation is programmed to make that look like a good idea..
Not really a lot of similiarity with BI, but the two leads do have
sort of a Rick & Scott dynamic. I have found them generally good,
entertaining reading though perhaps the Atlantis one was a bit
weaker. I think perhaps Harold Shea is a good touchpoint.
