The sound track/effects sound amazing.
I was rather disappointed. The voice acting in particular was poor and emotionally flat and the story had a predictability that turned me off. I couldn't help comparing it to Wall-E, and it fared poorly. However, the morosely self-aware combat drone moment was rather good. #astroboy

@VergessenHeld: Please read Bill Lee's comment below. Also, DC for example keeps putting out quality new books...which no one buys, precisely because they don't feature the existing heavy hitters. For example, Manhunter and Blue Beetle.
@Bill-Lee: WEll said. Fanboys need to learn that they don't own the media properties they consume.
Beautiful pictures. And Ray Palmer is a scientist after all.
I loved the ending.
@van_line: Actually, DC is at the forefront of digital comics. Their Zuda imprint is all online, and features rather high quality works, several of which were nominated for national comics awards this year.
DC's pushing the comic medium in multiple awesome directions, and Wednesday comics is a fantastic read for the many, many people who like to read things on paper.
I went to Origins because a game I worked on was nominated for an Origin award (sadly, Chaotic didn't win the TCG Origin Award).
In response to questions: tabletop Battletech is alive, kicking and popular. The new rulebook from Catalyst Games actually won the Origin award for Best Miniature Rules.
Agreed on the With Hostile Intent minis looking kind of derivative. They were well painted however, and overall looked good.
The Mechwarrior Pods have completely overhauled software and visuals. They look pretty good! And even though the graphics aren't completely top of the line, when you are trying to keep track of data on three or four screens, you don't really notice.
@Lassus: And now, my diatribe against the phrase 'raped my childhood' and it's use by fanboys. You do not have personal ownership over any character, story or property. You have your own memories, and your own likes and dislikes. When a creator takes something you cherished in a direction you dislike, the mature response is "I prefer X over Y because..." and then list salient reasons.
The more common route however, is some variation on the phrase "raped my childhood." This phrase implies that creators have a responsibility to you, because you are (obviously) the definitive authority on the topic. You aren't. Get over yourself.
@Migg: It's $3.99 because it's broad sheet sized. It's like the size of a newspaper - in fact, it emulates the Sunday Comics section, but with better paper.
@KosstAmojan: Koss,
1. the F22 is an air superiority fighter in an age where air-to-air combat is a rarity.
2. The president isn't eliminating the fighter, he's halting production an close to current levels. We'll still have air superiority fighters, just not the number we needed when the biggest threat was the soviets.
3. While the F22 is getting cut, the Joint Strike Fighter is getting increasing funding? Why? Because it excels at delivering ordnance at ground targets. The war on terror/on pirates/on lower tech rouge states needs lots of air-to-ground capability, and the F22 isn't so good at that. The Joint Strike Fighter is.

These cuts put money where it is needed to fight modern war. I feel safer knowing that the people in charge are looking rationally at military expenditures and applying money to the most useful programs.
@Indigen: Given that most of Ian Banks' male characters are also damaged sex-changing giant sluts (specifically the Culture ones), you might want to look at your own conceptions of what kind of behavior you think is acceptable from men as compared to women.
I too believe that Peter is Walter's clone. However, regarding the authorship of ZFT - there was another person in the lab regularly at the same time the manifesto was written: William Bell.
