But it is a comics, they can be read so quickly! And it has strong female characters (like, uh, very very strong and very very angry).
Beside, none of those novels have any Sisters in it, right? So, why bother ?

Because I wanted to read about the Ad Mech, and now I know were Hawke came from regarding those books, and now I'm reading through the Ultramarines Omnibus to read about the Guardswomen who stole a Iron Warrior's possessed power armor, killed him and managed to cut a hole in reality with her chainsword and walk through it (she shows up in the 3rd Ultramarine story, but to get the context for that I kind of need to read the others first).
I've also read the Path of the Eldar series, The Masque of Vyle, listened to Fireborn (that one story that has Sisters and a Daemon Engine powered by RAGE and makes the internet angry), and I think I've read more on top of that but I can't think of it right now.
I've been a little busy with my reading lately.

Okay. Still, if you keep a list of things you might want to read in the future…

Keep what?
Seriously, I didn't see much on that page that was selling me on it. I was like "Oh, it's a buff alien chick who has 'mystical' parents. So what?"

Has anyone sent an email yet? If not, I'm going to get my local GW shop manager to email the boss. I think itd come more of a shock to the owner if he hears it from one of his staff. He's going to have a brown touser moment and then sigh 'o dear'
I want to see if this actually works, would be funny if it did

Would you agree with the fact she would look so much more badass if she just rotated over to have her back facing the ground rather than her belly? If so we will be in agreement .
Of course, just like the GW models have one firing "left" and the other pose "pointing straight up".
I'd want Raging heroes to do both: One just like on the picture (with a straight Spine though), and then one just like you might be suggesting. (The model is much more "backwards" than it seems, and it would need "Jumping legs". I would try to get a picture of this model but it'll be a few weeks until i get back to my hobby =P )
EDIT:
A better picture of the model (during WIP though) which show how far back she is:

Their music sucks more than she does.
Oh come on. Say it ain't so. Who hates old school Blink 182?
