It’s not easy to work in a “Sopranos” reference in sci-fi webcomic that takes place in 1985, but I did manage a visual homage at least based on the season 6 poster shown to the right. If you look at who I put in the place of the corresponding “Sopranos” character, you may receive some spoiler-iffic insight into the eventual fates of the Radicals characters. Or, just as likely, I am completely bull-shitting you.

Decided to take a week off to get wound up for the next issue, but here’s a little sneak peak at the cover.

Pencils by Roberta. Bad composition and inking by Me.
This is how it all started. Originally, anyway. Ten years ago, I self-published a 2-part graphic novel called “Guardians of Zero Nexus: Alpha & Omega”. It had the same core cast as “the Radicals” and largely the same premise. It was a tale of terrorism on a scale that staggered the imagination. Well, at the time I wrote the script, anyway. I finished drawing the first chapter “Alpha” on September 9th, 2001. Two days later… well, you know.
This caused me to water the second half of the story down a bit and heighten the anti-terror message of the book. “Alpha and Omega” was always meant to be part of this series and I always wanted a chance to do it over and punch it up a bit (also, I’ve had 10 years to get better at drawing). There were also lots of little “director’s cut” scenes I had either cut for space or thought of after the fact that I wanted to add in to explain certain things. Some of these were included in the three follow-up issues I did 6 months after the first two, but those still needed redone too. So while I have wanted to revisit this story for a long time, I did not want to open the series with it again.
Also, since you’ve met most of the characters already, this time at least you got to know them a little better before they die. Oops. Oh well. With a subtitle like “God of Death”, you know all eleven character on the cover aren’t going to make it through alive, anyway.
