Happy Fourth of July! In celebration of the holiday, Jayd is about to make some fireworks go off!!
I’m going to guess they have the wrong blue girl. It’s probably the one that was put into that escape pod in vol 1, chp 5, p 23.
Yeah, this guy is going to have an aneurism when he finds out his fabled ’Destroyer’ has 61 identical sisters out there somewhere.
Hope he gets paid by the head and not by the contract or the Ferrymen ain’t going to break even on this one.
Interesting guess Commodore.
The alternative is that Sky is the Dark Phoenix of the Runners Universe???
Argh!
Another interesting faction in The Ferrymen. I think we can see where some of the inspiration came from, but I’d like to read the background story. This too could be an interesting group with it’s own title. Perhaps a limited series, but still.
“The Destroyer, a malevolent force too dangerous to live,” is also what they call Cember after all of those yak head meals started reaching the other end.
Interesting theories about the Ferrymen and Sky’s potential threat level. As always…we shall see!
Regarding the design of the Zahari Ferryman, the banding on the skin took some inspiration from Tion Medon from the Star Wars prequels. I always thought that was a cool look that would make for a nice detail in close-up artwork.
Don’t pop those tree blisters behind you, death dude, or you will not live to take another overly long bath… ever again!
But maybe they’re filled with sweet, sweet maple syrup!
Sky, a malevolent force? Seems a bit out of character, but who knows. Stories often don’t follow Occam’s Razor, so if a claim seems too absurd to be true, it’s probably foreshadowing.
The assassin knows that there are more like her, he joined the conversation right when Jayd said she had seen 61 of her clone sisters and that she would meet them soon enough, so we can presume he heard the whole exchange.
The question becomes whether his beef is with Sky in particular (perhaps because she escaped, we can suppose, whatever indoctrination/programming that the other clones got — she did wake up as kind of a blank slate after all); or whether it’s about all of them but he figured that one alone on a jungle planet with just one mercenary would be easier to deal with than the whole lot staying in a crime-lord’s palace with who knows how many other guards and mercenaries, so he picked Sky as the low-hanging fruit.
