NOTES

  • The color palette of this page was inspired by the 1982 Activision game Chopper Command
  • The digits on Essul’s archivist badge correspond to the page number of his first appearance, the volume numeral of the art reference books, and the page his reference art appears on in that volume
  • In panel 6, the phobe symbol is used, to indicate 5,000 phobes (dollars)
  • Five thousand is also the cited death toll of the “Cloud Concourse Calamity” (panel 8)

NOTES

  • Karbunkel is secretly visited by a messenjerk, who is (visually) inspired by Charlie Callas
  • Room (page) 252
  • Messenjerks typically commit suicide after delivering their message, so that it can’t be extorted from them; the messenjerk’s scroll compresses into a long blade to do the job (panel 5)
  • Karbunkel has changed into his “diplomat” outfit (panel 7); is Vurka reading the same paper seen in #207, or is it just a coincidence?
  • Karbunkel’s Keep is visible in panel 8

NOTES

  • Whose airship is that?
  • Tiscinivel (hooded) is employing Eldlyfe (first full appearance, panel 9); his inspiration will be obvious to any readers of Image Comics from the 1990s
