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

#319

March 19, 2017

NOTES

  • #319, originally posted on 3/19
  • This summit of Midirian Briguild representatives is an homage to a scene from Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones (2002)
  • Briguilds represented, counterclockwise from lower left in panel 9: Currancer, Cursivere, Estimen, Fisherwit, Geareater, Minery, Panegandee, Resinati, Sortlec, Totsuvosto, Uluwestern
  • Is the Estimen rep Riv’s father?
  • Tiscinivel mentions “The Debt”; if you need or desire something strongly enough, the Midirian Empire will grant it to you, at the cost of your identity and freedom
  • The Geareater rep is a clockwork automaton, much like Waywardo
  • The Sortlec rep is a Similarian 
  • All Briguilds are represented… except, of course, the Hatmender Briguild, which is clandestine
