    First!

    And I’m a little troubled over that fact that there is a large congregation a few steps away from where an explosion just happened.

  2. Shawn says:

    They’re up the road a bit.

  3. Bex Valentine says:

    I like that redhead with glasses in the crowd…when can we see more of her? :)

  4. Shawn says:

    Bex – totally.

    Also, as announced elsewhere – I’ve taken the liberty to take Rose’s latest Red Moon Rising strip and improve upon it greatly. I think we can all agree that it’s a major step up:

    hhmm – is this curbside preacher just preaching? The wording just sounds not quite right…like there’s (dum, dum dum….) a plot…

    OMGosh. My hubby and I are busting a gut laughing over the mustaches in the voting war now! That comic remake just made my day! Mwah! (If you and Rose don’t end up doing a short comic together in the end of this all, I’ll be surprised….)

  6. Filtiarn says:

    Cool map. That is a very tall city. Now I want to see the higher levels and the Great Machine (HACK THE MAINFRAME!) I like the use of ALL CAPS to emphasize the grand DECLARATIONS the street preacher makes.

  7. Pandarsenic says:

    I seem to be some manner of Mapophile, because I just voted against RMR for that map. Possibly because your improvement to RMR is a thing of True Beauty.

  8. Shawn says:

    He’s actually inside. I drew a door, which I then covered up with a word balloon…

  9. Rob says:

    …and the preacher appears to be speaking out both sides of his mouth… coincidence? sub-consciencely letting a hint slip? Simply an issue of space in the panel? You decide! :D

  10. Rob says:

    Grr… typo… “sub-consciencely” should have been “sub-consciously.”

  11. Wil K. says:

    Wow, we get to see *even* less of Oliver’s face (see Panel 1; there’s a few pixels worth there). :]

  12. Emily says:

    “…but my everything still hurts.” Someone’s never happy, even AFTER getting magically healed. He should be more grateful. :D

  13. Ramsus says:

    I like how there are 2 lifts of each kind instead of just one so that people can go down while other people go up instead of having to just wait.

    I also feel bad for the people on the 2nd and 1st level. The other levels could have given them sun roofs or at the very least air holes. ;)

  14. Shawn says:

    Made a few tweaks.

    Cleaned up the art in the first two panels a bit (showed more of Oliver’s face, cleaned up Thorton’s line art), and rearranged the arrows/connectors in panel 3.

  15. Nicole says:

    The map is gorgeous! Thanks, Shawn! What level are our heroes on?

    @Ramsus: Yeah, I shudder just looking at levels 1 and 2.

  16. didub says:

    Ophelia is so subtle in a crowd…

  17. Shawn says:

    didub: ha! she blends right in, doesn’t she?

    Nicole – the 5th, in the Bronze Gardens neighborhood.

  18. pineappleleader says:

    @Shawn. Nice “improvement” to RMR.

    Da da da daaa! Ninja/pirate Oliver to the rescue!
