As is often the case in real life, a gun is the solution to the problem.
Where are the adults in this universe? I mean the kids apparently have easy access to guns and dress like prostitutes. It’s almost like they’re living in… current times.
So, what does everyone think? Is this a satisfying end to Dark Jayce? Was it super-predictable? I felt like it was but then I originally wrote this plot outline like a year-and-a-half ago, so everything was always leading up to this. I’m really starting to enjoy the morally ambiguous endings I’m leaning towards. Did (Dark) Chuck kill (Dark) Jayce out of anger or mercy, knowing his best friend would never truly be in control of himself again? Or was it revenge/jealousy for corrupting Hailey and taking her away?
After all, we know Prime Universe Chuck finds Hailey attractive at least judging by his space fantasy here and both Chucks’ reactions in this scene indicate the feeling is not universe-exclusive. Not to mention Dark Chuck’s lament here. Exploring Chuck and Hailey’s relationship is one of, if not THE main theme of this issue. It’s why Jayce was spun off into a sub-plot, to keep him from crossing over and give the others a chance to interact (and solve a problem) without him, especially Hailey and Chuck. Jayce had thus far been omnipresent, even when Patrick was AWOL for nearly the WHOLE FIRST 2 ISSUES and ALL OF ISSUE 5!! Chuck and Hailey’s dynamic will continue to be explored in the epilogue of this issue and most likely in future issues as well. How will it end up? Who knows? After all, Jayce’s future no longer seems set in stone, so who’s to say Hailey won’t end up with Chuck?

Chuck has almost filled his “make an ass of himself” quota for this issue.
This was probably the funnest page to write and draw so far, because of Hailey’s reactions to each Chuck’s actions/words. Anyone who knows Berta (on whom Hailey is based) could see her reacting exactly the same way. This has to be THE single page where her personality shows through the most.

What?!? Two pages in one week?!? Yeah, I know, seriously! I got a little ahead, but not enough to get an extra one done last week. I tried some experiment-y stuff on this page. The jungle background is actually a pencil drawing that I colored in Photoshop, blurred the color layer and knocked the saturation down on the color to give it a slight watercolor look. In hindsight, it probably would have been easier to do a real watercolor, but my work space is so cluttered right now that’s not so much an option.
