Well you know what they say, old irons never die, they just run out of steam.
Seriously...
...Just read it and... Damn...
I couldn't ever really get into Hopelessly Lost. I figure it probably DID get very good later, but the opening chapter... Pretty clumsy, as Gryphon is saying.
But this... This has all the potential to be incredibly silly. There's a whole bunch of geeky "knowing winks" and nods and homages. In fact it dances on the edge of silliness with manic glee, and yet never falls in. Gryph is a _GOOD_ writer to get me to completely buy into a story that has the OLD grey Iron Man suit and the Knight Sabers slick hardsuits existing in the same universe, at the same time, just for an example. As usual, when Gryph is on his game, it's the characters who sell the story, even if a couple of them are self inserts.

Crow T. Robot: Well believe me, Mike, I calculated the odds of this succeeding versus the odds I was doing something incredibly stupid... and I went ahead anyway.
