When I read the comic the first time round, I had no idea about the significance of the Firestone, so while I might have recognized Harky’s hand, I would not have known what to make of the picture other than somebody (possibly Harky) handing someone a gem. No big spoiler.

Kind of mind blowing I didn’t realize the significance of that first panel until now in hindsight. I have to agree with you, both fortunately and unfortunately the average reader probably doesn’t look into things that deeply, and has a lot of other media prodding their brain to cover curiosity.

The things you both did with this comic and seeing two sides of the story is a great experience, and it’s a testament to the quality of this comic and its run that I’m just as engaged the second time around and checking obsessively on update days.

I think you are still looking at this too much like the author you are and not as a reader. The reader generally just says, “Wow, that looks cool,” and doesn’t compare notes with later works to check accuracy or for dead giveaways. Random obsessed fans aside, I think you are being to hard on yourself.
