I love it.

It's got a real comic book feel, from some experienced folks. Lovely artwork too.

Can't wait for the next issues, and further stories too!

Books and comics down, TV show in the works. EVE is really spreading it's media wings.

EVE theme parks and McDonalds toys by 2016. You heard it here first folks.

Indeed. We are building a robot that looks like Yul Brynner that will welcome you to our upcoming theme park.

Thanks for reading!


He could have been an awesome actor for an EVE TV show, or movie. So stoic and hardened, with a voice to match.

I'll just have to accept that will never be. Now to get EN24 to headline "EVE Theme Park Confirmed by Devs".

so each part is 17 pages and there are 4 of them so 68 pages in total?

thats cool though i was hopping for something like The batman returns long...

To be pedantic, each part is just 16 paces, than you have the cover and the cover interior. 64 pages total, or as we like to say in binary, 1000000.

and when it sells well we shall see more?

Like how about the time I started a war between Frege and Burn Eden when to drone regions were added to the game.

what happened was Frege just negotiated a cease fire between us and them and I decided it would be a great idea to jump in my fully fit ratting domi with all my assests...

lets just say the cease fire was over fast.

both sides were willing to over look the incident but i just had to write in local some not so nice things about thier monthers which lead to use going into foundation space in Great wildlands and purging them.

We shall see. The interest in this story does affect what follows, of course!

Your name might pose a problem for adaptation though...

Is it not going to be published on it's own in the Google Play store under the books section?

That's Dark Horse's fault then...

Signing up takes like 2 seconds and it's free. You don't even have to click any confirmation emails. Just enter a throwaway email.

Enjoying the rain today? ;)

I hope these sell like crazy. I'd love to see the other stories adapted as well!
Eve has a rich history, it shouldn't be wasted and forgotten.

I haven't been able to get it to load for me. I'm guessing it's because too many people are trying to load it at the same time?
When I've read it I'll give you my 2 cents on it.

It will be sold on Google books in June if you want to wait until then. Along with other major ebook providers, and of course as a hardcover.

Or you can get it for free now by signing up to Dark Horse.

Such is the burden of our modern lives!


Excellent stuff, cheers!

Getting this on both Opera and Firefox. Disabled Adblock on each browser, no luck. Redditors seem to be having similar issues.

yep not loading for me in IE11, Chrome 33.0.1750.91 beta-m, Firefox 27

I am disappoint that there is no PDF or CBR/CBZ archive available, I understand Dark Horse doesn't want to make it easy for people to copy it... i guess I was just hoping it would be free forever (in which case it'd make sense to allow downloads)

Edit: It downloaded successfully on Android. Pity my screen's tiny :)

Loaded otherwise fine, except page 14 lower half failed to load and page 15 took longer time to load.

For those that download it free now, it will stay on their devices, even after they start charging for it.

I sign into the website, click "read now" and I get this http://i.imgur.com/hWj1Do9.png

Refreshing doesn't fix it. I also downloaded the android app on my nook color. Searching for "eve" or "eve true stories" doesn't show anything.

Page 14 is actually a double-page spread. Load it up without using max width and you'll see it's got the same vertical height as all the other pages but double the width.

I have a question of my own: Page 5 cites the station's name as "Dalius 372". there being no system by the name of "Dalius" in New Eden, was this the name that BNC gave to an outpost or conquerable station or something? Or another case of artistic license by the writer?

Not sure how that varies from the phone app if at all but I was able to find it under Series > EVE
