Dear Readers: We hope all of you enjoyed this month's issue of the E-Zine!

To make the next issue even better, we'd love to hear what things you liked or want to see more of next time!

Feel free to share those things here.

Thanks!

its taking me forever to download thanks to me capping my monthly data allowance, but from what I've read in the thread, it looks brilliant.
An interview with Eric Nylund.... that right there is simply awesome. I don't think any other halo fan group has ever been able to get something like this.
And the welcome message from Adam was rather touching.

I think the quality is very good. I have my reservations and concerns with this. That's just my opinion (just like everyone else). I'll keep further comments to myself for the moment and let the readers have their voice. I would like to thank the writers for their work. Good job to all of you! I expect more and better for the next issue!

Insanely fabulous. Great content, wonderful first addition. I LOVE the graphics and layout. The spreads might be better suited to portrait layout pages, but who knows for sure.

This is way way way better than I was even imagining it.

It was a little slow to load, but I guess that is what you get with such awesome graphics. I thought the look and the info was great!

This is an outstanding achievement so well done guys!!!

On a side note, it might be good to release a zipped image version (jpgs in a zip) so that people with jailbroken ipods can read it on icomic or comc viewer! (just my 2 cents)

Well done and i cant wait for the new one!!!!

Great content... loved reading it. Great interviews, good informational content.

Overall spectacular effort people.

One minor detractor for me. It is not print friendly unless, someone cares to correct me on how I do that.

I agree with spase here, it'd be nice to have a print version with each page separate.

Well I've read most of it. I skipped most of the tutorial stuff, I can look over it later.
The interviews where great! I did not expect Adam to be able to get two people as influential to the Halo universe as Eric and Kristen.
And a special congratulations to Kaya tetsu, around the ring was brilliant!

All MY writers did an excellent job. For a first issue it was decent. There were things that could have been done better or added. That's partly my fault. I'm happy that everyone so far has liked it. I'll look into the printing issue.

I was going to say spread pages 2-16 across two pages each all front and back printing, but it seems you can't scale the pages like that.

Its way more than decent, dont under-estimate all the hard work you guys did it looks great. As for the things could be better or added comment I think you would agree its like doing anything for the first time. There are always thing that can be improved. Just think about the first piece of armor you made or tried. As a first issue its awesome and it will only get better. Thanks everyone for spending time on this for the community. I am printing mine out now. Thanks again.

The front cover picture is awesome! Very pro.

I'm not underestimating the hard work that went into it. I praise Kensai for all his hard work that went into this issue. And the other graphic artists that made a contribution. I was simply stating that things could have been better had other submissions been included. Once again, I'll wait for feedback from the readers and keep my other thoughts for another conversation. I'm glad everyone is enjoying the first issue. I'll print it as a keepsake.
