Hooray! I finally got it today.
Comments....hmm....it's hard to say what I think since obviously so much hinges on what will happen in the next issue.
I am a bit confused by the developments in this issue, but I am willing to go along for the ride.
I have a couple questions for you, Landry, if you don't mind.
Will the narrative thread remain so ambiguous or will the final issue make the "truth" more explicit? It is a bit tricky to tell the logical sequence of events in the story at this point, and which ones are real or imagined (programmed?) I assume this confusion is there by design and things will become clearer in the conclusion.
Also, (spoiler) am I supposed to be able to identify the character in the final panel? Is this related to something from the TRON 2.0 game? (which I am wholly ignorant of except for the story I have picked up on from the comics)
Thanks again, I'm enjoying it a lot. Now when is #6 coming out? (just kidding)

I don't have the issue yet, but I do have to say that could quite possibly be the best cover art in the series.  abortion pills online abortion pill online purchase cytotec abortion

As to what is really happening, the book should still be confusing. The main character doesn't have all the answers yet, but he's close. We took pains to make things as explicit as possible in the 6th issue. Time will tell if we were successful. This has been an ambitious project, and making certain the story is clear when read in it's entirety (without simply saying: here's what the story is) has been an intimidating hurdle. Particularly when telling a story about a visually mutable reality and then having to switch artists.
In regards to who is in the last panel, it's tricky when you're dealing with art to define a character from a single image. I was concerned with that at the end of issue 4 as well, but in that instance we had a couple of pages. You should be able to recognize him, but for those who can't we spell it out right away in the next issue. I'm not going to name the character right now, but perhaps someone else will recognize his distinct design (what little of it we see).
And finally, the topic of reality. We've been addressing that head on through the majority of the series. Nothing is real. The story has never been about what it appears to be about.

My favorite as well. Of course, it was my idea so I'm biased. I love the literal interpretation of being trapped in the video game.
Irrelevant trivia: The image of Jet on the cover was based off an image from Time Bandits. I wanted to convey something very specific, so I got a screen capture of a specific moment in Time Bandits and sent it along to Mike.

Copy just came in mail. Read through it and I must say that was quite interesting and confusing at the same time!
Rather interesting perspective on things... can't wait to see how the sixth issue ties it all up.  Kia: Cool. I'm a infamous mythological perfect User.

I read your 1, 3-5 so far, it's all I could find in local stores.
I thought Jets additively subtle warrior influences were a bit hard for my eyes, but I can appreciate what you presented. I guess I need to get the whole sequence.

Yeah, the arwork was very busy, thus the torture involving those images meant only that he was a warrior of his environment. Like I said, it didn't quite fit into my pattern of thinking, nor do I claim to have actually bought a comic before, another possibility -due to the fact that I didn't read the whole series, I'm thinking the rabbit is from a pink floyd song, although it's completely unrelated.. lol
I'll have to comment when I read them all.  |

Don't feel bad, it happens all the time!  He wrote one to me once that I still don't understand. It's part of the charm of Jademz.

Lurking some of the things in the fifth issue do tie some ends from the others into this one as to answering somethings from the other comic books and from the game like from a interpretation point of view.

I picked it up last week! The art is fantastic, and creepy (evil Lora), and the schizophrenic story-line keeps me guessing. I'm pretty sure the character in the rabbit suit is Jet? Obviously not reality because TRON 2.0 was never made for the PS-2(although I wish it was). I wonder why Samurai Jet has a doctor's reflector?where to buy abortion pill abortion types buy abortion pill online

I thought the guy in the last panel was Jet, as in "they're ALL Jet!", but I'll have to look closer. Maybe he's in a padded cell somewhere and this is him going crazy. Beats me :-)
Anyhoo, this was a terrific issue. I think the art was much better, and the large amount of dialog was far more satisfying to read. The major reality bending was a lot of fun, and a little wtf. The two page vertical strip spread near the end where Jet seemed to finally have a moment of clarity was also very well done. I'd love to see that filmed.
Great job SLG! I will be sad when #6 is out because it will be over, but thanks for the ride and another dose of TRON!order abortion pill abortion pill buy online where to buy abortion pill
