Graphic Novel talk:Rebellion, Part 5

Early Page

What's wrong with making a page before the GN is out? I see no harm in getting work done before it is required to. But, go ahead and delete the page. Just cause yourself work later. That's fine with me. I just thought, maybe you would like some help. -- Iheartheroes

• It's because we know nothing about it. We don't know for sure if it will even be the next issue of the Rebellion series. -- Psilaq R.- \m/ -_- \m/- 16:17, 10 June 2009 (EDT)
  • It's useless to have an empty article. Intuitive Empath - Talk - Contributions 17:48, 10 June 2009 (EDT)
    • Just adding my two cents, according to Oliver Grigsby's blog the next GN released on the 16th will by Rebellion, Part 5, in fact there will be up too Rebellion, Part 7 (I hope that isn't a spoiler) but I do think a page should only be made when the GN is released. --posted by Laughingdevilboy

• • • • Now that this page is already created, we'd have to fill in the details manually when the GN comes out. If we simply create the new page when the GN comes out, we can use the subst template that we usually use to have the template create the basic GN page for us. I say delete. --Radicell 21:22, 10 June 2009 (EDT)
        • The other thing we know is that Jason Badower is drawing it. But Radicell is absolutely right--I'd much rather use an automated template that takes care of everything for me, than fill in everything myself, hoping that I don't forget something. I'll delete the page--not because it's a bad page to have, but because that way we can obtain the template "button". (I do that quite often with character pages that are missing a bunch of information.) -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 23:44, 10 June 2009 (EDT)

Timeline error, or style choice?

So... when exactly did nine months pass between March and June? Or was it simply a design choice to show Sabine with a baby, trying to be symbolic or something? --Gibbeynator 09:31, 16 June 2009 (EDT)

• I don't know why you think Volume 4 takes place in June. We've had no conclusive proof as to a date. --Radicell 09:38, 16 June 2009 (EDT)
  • Simple math. The closing scene of Dual takes place 3 weeks after Pinehearst. The president gave the go-ahead to build this task force at that time, so we can assume that the 4 weeks ago flashback in Cold Wars happens around this point. So we've got 7 weeks from late March, early April, OK, that's May, but still.--Gibbeynator 09:47, 16 June 2009 (EDT)
    • Either it's symbolic, as you posited, or it's an inconsistency. And it should be early June already in these graphic novels. Villains took up about ten to fourteen days, which went into early April. Two months later should be June. So Sabine could have been pregnant up to six or seven months during this graphic novel.--Citizen 09:52, 16 June 2009 (EDT)
      • Perhaps there was some sort of complications/premature labour and birth. That could be elaborated on later i suppose. As a follower of the GNs, i must admit i missed all these stupid randomly-made-up characters (Donna, Sabine etc) just a lil bit :D TracyStraussFan 17:26, 16 June 2009 (EDT)
        • I think every GN reader did. Can you believe we hadn't seen them since September of last year?--Citizen 17:48, 16 June 2009 (EDT)
          • Shame we don't have any BTEs coming up soon, so we can at least try and ask for clarification.--Gibbeynator 17:53, 16 June 2009 (EDT)
            • Where is the new GN talk template so we can get things moving? Intuitive Empath - Talk - Contributions 18:36, 16 June 2009 (EDT)
              • I'd get it set up, but templates aren't exactly my expertise. I've already updated all but two of the characters (Micah and Julien) this morning, and I've seen the ability pages updated throughout the day, so there shouldn't be much more to do unless we have a location page for the GN's setting.--Citizen 18:42, 16 June 2009 (EDT)

Worst GN in a while

• Who agrees that this totally random and anti-climatic (from part 4) GN was a bad one. -- By Danko CH 17:30, 16 June 2009 (EDT)8
  • It was like poo, But more colourful Gabriel BishopUTC 17:40, 16 June 2009 (EDT)
    • lol, but true -- By Danko CH 17:41, 16 June 2009 (EDT)
  • Quaint, but I do think it lacked direction, which was not great --IronyUTC CH 17:45, 16 June 2009 (EDT)
    • It exists solely to say "Hey guys, we haven't forgotten about the evsdropr stuff, and now we're going to connect it to this years summer event."--Gibbeynator 19:11, 16 June 2009 (EDT)
      • I agree, I was expecting a better part, but the only "useful" thing we know is Thompson`s name (which I preferred not knowing) and that Sabine had a very premature child. And maybe that Micah don`t need touching to communicate with machines. We`ll have to wait a month to next, let`s hope it`s not like this one.
        • Absolutely agree with that, its as though evsdropr and those old GNs were tried to fit into the Fugitives era, totally out of place and didn't work.-- By Danko CH 11:19, 17 June 2009 (EDT)
          • Agreed. After waiting two weeks, this was a letdown, especially knowing it wasted a few more pages than normal that could've been use to further the Rebel plot. Now we have to wait how long? A month? this sucks, and like you said it was completely out of place. if they wanted to pick up the Evs Dropr plotline again, they should've decided to make more than 6 GNs over the break and used a couple for that, while also doing the Rebel thing. --Skullman1392 03:49, 19 June 2009 (EDT)
• Agreed, this GN was almost meaningless. All we have discovered was who shot Micah and why. We are still to find out where the Dawsons are. -- Altes 06:10, 19 June 2009 (EDT)
  • I found this graphic novel to be quite a letdown, yes. Especially for it to be one of the three "summer specials" in which there are more pages to read. Hell, I even liked The Natural Order of Things better. I certainly hope Thompson, Jr. continues to appear in the graphic novels, perhaps telling some of his story. Otherwise, this graphic novel is a total waste. --Radicell 06:16, 19 June 2009 (EDT)
    • What completely annoyed me was that, not only did they reduce the number of GNs, but they have raised so many questions which have been ignored (Monica, where the Dawsons went after micah was shot and Claude) it is stupid --IronyUTC CH 08:22, 19 June 2009 (EDT)
