Comics Alliance loves "Vision Machine"

01.09.12 - Comics > Vision Machine > This entry's link

Comics Alliance's Andy Khouri says some incredibly nice things about "Vision Machine," the sci fi graphic novel from Greg Pak and RB Silva. Here's an excerpt:

Vision Machine strikes an exquisite balance between satire and commentary without ever becoming silly or didactic, and it's a beautifully told comic book story to boot, filled with diverse characters and lots of provocative ideas. Nearly every page of Vision Machine finds Pak and Silva innovating some bit of storytelling cleverness that makes a comic book about the Internet seem just as visually entertaining as either of their impressive superhero tales for Marvel or DC.
Check out the full article.

And download your own FREE copy of the graphic novel -- as well as a textless version for easy remixing!

Donate $20 to Japan relief charity of your choice, get "Vision Machine" trade!

03.16.11 - Comics > Vision Machine > This entry's link

UPDATE 4/1/11 4:15 PM: The tally is now $4011 for Japanese relief. I'll keep sending "Vision Machine" trades for a while yet, so keep on donating!

UPDATE: Final Japan relief report: the original goal was $1000. We raised $3142. You are all amazing. I'm still giving out free trades to folks who donate, so keep it coming!

UPDATE: Friday, 10:31 am. We just hit $1786. Love you guys. New goal: $2500 by midnight. I DON'T THINK YOU CAN DO IT! PROVE ME WRONG!

UPDATE 5: Friday, 1 am - and we've hit $1502! New goal - $1750 by the end of Friday!

UPDATE 4: It's Thursday night and you've blown way past the $1250 goal -- we're up to $1417! Let's make a new goal of $1500 by the end of Friday!

UPDATE 3: You guys are amazing. We hit $1037 Thursday morning. New goal: $1250 by the end of Friday!

UPDATE 2: Up to $827!

UPDATE 1: We've raised $707 so far -- let's see if we can hit $1000 by the end of Friday!

By Greg Pak

After a few days of trying to figure out how to help raise some dollars for Japan, I've come up with what I hope is a simple plan. Here's how it works:

Donate $20 to any charity doing relief work in Japan.

Then send an email with your US mailing address to japan at pakbuzz dot com. In your email, tell me what charity you donated to and confirm that you are 18 or over. (And sorry for limiting it to US mailing addresses -- little to complicated for me to mail large numbers of packages overseas right now.)

And I'll send you a free "Vision Machine" trade paperback!

The charity is your choice. $20 minimum donation. If you tell me you donated, I'll believe you and send you a trade - honor system, folks!

Finally, please include your Twitter handle in your email if you'd like a shout out online!

Many thanks, all the best and happy donating!
