We’re back at Sky Elftropolis! You know, that place. Encephalitis Allah-Qu’ira. Asallgetout Enquirata. Benalla Qu’mberbara. CLOUDVILLE.

When we moved back to the three-times-weekly schedule, we started running chapters’ covers and first pages on the same day, so as not to have long gaps between story updates. That was a good call, but I’m sorry it meant this beautiful dusk scene got a little neglected. If you’ve ever been in an airplane when the sun begins to set, you know some of the inspiration here.

More of the inspiration comes from the concern about the team’s survival. The sun is setting here. Is it setting on our heroes? On the whole guilded age?
