ORIGINAL INFO: The comic that dares to defend the sanctity of microscopic non-life!
RUMINATIONS: As always, I like to play with expectations.
A lot of people were assuming that the Gunslinger was responsible for the magic gun’s issues or Holokara’s “malfunction.” Thus he needed to be brought back into the story to indicate… nope! He doesn’t even know any of this is going on. From his perspective, he just got back to his ship thanks to the time dilation of travelling across different universes. Like Vyce’s ship, Jaeris’ house ship was designed to weather different universes. And of course since he was supposed to be a mirror of Linkara, he had his own AI pal to help him out. Much like how Nimue is based on the voice of Zen from Blake’s 7, I based the voice of Sierra off of Slave from Blake’s 7 - one much more subservient and only slightly bitter if the need arose. The backstory for that is explained in the next storyline, but that shot of the guns was also to indicate that the Gunslinger had been successful before in acquiring magic guns, so while he may not have been behind everything that was going on, he was still a danger to behold.
90s Kid’s talk about Rob Liefeld retiring was something that was in the news at the time… aaaand of course he’s still doing comics today. But then again, 90s Kid is also the type of person who WOULD react without thinking or looking ahead at what will likely happen.
