I started reading it, and it's really good. Ark Performance are some of the best writers around for Gundam (more people need to read their other stuff!) I just hope their good script doesn't get butchered in the adaptation process.

I've read Gihren Ass Plot and enjoyed it. Not much suited for an adaptation though. I don't expect Twilight Saga to be as dialogue-heavy and light on action? I've heard good things about the Johnny Ridden stuff, but don't plan on reading it until it finishes. Other than that, my only experience with Ark Performance is the Arpeggio of Blue Steel anime (not sure how representative that is of their work).

Tristan is a Gundam Alex clone with some Zeta parts added, WTF, I hope there's at least something good under the hood because I'm not seeing it.

It's a minaturized form of the Alex, whether it ties in with the Formula series of models remains to be seen.

So before we got Crossbound, they shorten the gap between unicorn and Hathway Flash
I prefer Gundam Sentinel than this actually
Also Tristan looks like Mk.II with Alex armament

btw
WHERE IS ADVANCE OF Z ADAPTATION, SUNRISE ?????????????

AOZ and Sentinel will NEVER EVER happen due to different publishers owning the rights to them. As for Crossbone

Another thing to my long PTW list. WTH gives us some time to finish the previous serie(counting from Zeta).

Such an interesting spinoff to animate. Hope it'll be good since the premise sounds intriguing.
