Yes, yes, yes and yes, please.

Addition; Any idea whether it's leaning towards color or black and white?

My first thought was "Wow, those are straight up PAULDRONS." Those things wouldn't look out of place in World of Warcraft.

Really looking forward to this (both the project and the behind-the-scenes look)!

Does this have anything to do with the bit of script you posted on your website earlier? Something about "damn Yankee pilots in their tight pants?"

Nope.

I like the picture above the one shown. Got to love the side on view of the controls.

Based on those sketches, I'd be thrilled to see this stay in B&W.

Excited that we may get to see some of the juicy innards on this one.

Also: man, are you busy or are you busy?

fantastic. There should be a way I just direct deposit a portion of my paycheck to you and then you.

Spacegirl comics with "King Night" is its theme song. This can not be made soon enough.

Wow guys, thanks for all the love:) This has already gotten much more attention that I thought possible. It's a delight working with Warren and bouncing ideas off each other. You can see more of my junk at www.michaeloeming.com or on my twitter feed- @oeming

Looking forward to this! I love the latest pic on your blog, Warren :) (although, I do sincerely hope the final version loses the boobsocks :P)

@michael oeming

Well, this isn't the FIRST time Oeming has drawn a girl in outer space...

I was lucky enough to bump into Mike at a Mid-Ohio Con years and years ago, and got him to do a great pin-up for LITTLE WHITE MOUSE. The un-colored original hangs in my den now. This new stuff looks great; can't wait to see what happens and where it goes!

DavidLejeune — Wed, 23 Mar 2011 18:57:45 -0700

Question (and maybe you don't even know yet): Is this going to be a multi-issue/potentially long-form thing, or more along the lines of an Apparat novella?

Either way, the look at the gears is fascinating and I'm already itching to read it. For some reason that first sketch gives me sort of a BPRD vibe. Something about the suit design, I think.

I love behind the scenes stuff, so watching this unfold is great. Looking forward to seeing where it goes and what it becomes in the end.

Never in my life I have responded out loud to an image but the newest one posted with the redhair invoked (provoked?) a "Jesus Fuck that is beautiful" out of me.

If I wasn't sold before, I am now. (for the record, I was sold before)
thanks to both gentlemen for sharing this process, finding it fascinating.

This is awesome, I didn't think I'd be so excited about something that isn't even out yet, clearly I need a time-machine (or some patience, whatever works I suppose)

McMahon boots! It just gets better.

Jay Kay — Fri, 25 Mar 2011 11:42:26 -0700

Yes, I would probably buy the FUCK out of this book.

Had the pleasure of meeting mr oeming briefly at a signing in edinburgh's deadhead comics, when he was promoting the marvelous 'mice templar.' thoroughly nice chap! this project looks extremely exciting.

I like the zero gravity stuff. Mr Oeming captures it very well.

The new notes/sketches are so good. I love that you're making it happen, busy schedule filled with paying work be damned <3

Being drip-fed this stuff is crazy, I feel like I'm being eased onto a drug. I probably am.
