Category: Notations

NOTES

• Wouldn’t it be crazy if, starting with the first page of the Fargon Saga (#289), the first word of each page formed a secret message that concluded with this page?
• Was Karbunkel lying about being in contact with Nefaria? What else could he be lying about?
• Shiraadh’s eye-frames disappear as she loses power and dies

NOTES

• Shiraadh of Fargon meets Nefaria the Red Queen, in Bonehenge
• Shiraadh averts her eyes and formally addresses Nefaria in panel 6, delineating how Nefaria sank the continent of the Gargiles, and massacred the Glowborgs (which is actually inaccurate)

NOTES

• The Boneguard is inspired by Kenner’s “Bone Age” toyline (1987-1988)
• Crybdeth and Marrowort’s console resembles a DJ’s turntables (panel 6)
• Nefaria can pass through anything but resinate or bone, meaning she can’t pass through a person’s body

NOTES

• Who is actually telling the truth? (Narrative versus Perceptive)
• Refusaleth shows Quiatas the Temporal Cycle

NOTES

• Who would Quiatas be speaking with?
• Shadist “connective darkness” theory; the belief that all dark places are connected, and can be used to go anyplace else that’s dark, by those who know how (Darkana is one example)
• Quiatas evidently doesn’t ascribe to Shadist theory (panel 6)

NOTES

• Feve, Cornelius’s assigned sycophant, is inspired by Vitsie, the “videositter”
• Cornelius is again pushed by someone to make him go
• Hold up a mirror to “Jausiv” in panel 7
• Cornelius wants to unshrink the Lost Book, but Feve thinks it’s to something else 

NOTES

• Tournament death toll: 130,000+
• Zardoza and Subliminus change course for Ponymus, to appeal for aid

NOTES

• The Shoadomites are recalling the wallopers to defend their homeland
• The zeppeloyers are wiped out by a sky sliggan (panel 6)
• Refusaleth crumbles the Gargrudgen, causing falling rocks for miles around
• In panel 9, you can see one of the walloper deployment canisters crashed into the audience

NOTES

• Insanus arrives at the island of Shoadom, and explains their connection to the current conflict
• Shoadom is encircled by a “safety wall”, as seen in panel 9

NOTES

• The zeppeloyer pilot is a direct reference to Colette Hiller as Corporal Ferro from the movie Aliens (1986)
• The wallopers pop out of deployment canisters, which sail to the ground and often cause additional damage
• “Field-tested” recalls the wallopers encountered previously in the story
