It's like they decided to get the best team from each region, and then there was a Fnatic fan on the board.
edit: in this thread; Fnatic fans getting salty over a joke. And honestly, Fnatic are not winning the finals. Well deserved second place coming up.
Fnatic is ahead of G2 in playoffs
Just want to ask two questions I sent to you in message.
Would you say Zed guestimation during the fight to be factually correct? That Kusho had only dabble in Shadow Magic for a few months?
When was the flashback panel where Zed told Kayn to get close to their patron, in relative to the event we observed? My guess is somewhere in issue 1 2, but was it before or after Jhin attack?
Not entirely... he was guessing and kinda being intentionally insulting But he was correct that Kusho hadn't trained for as long as him.
Issue 1.
Hey Odin, loved the series overall. I think its the strongest out of any of the series so far. Could I ask why you decided to sorta reign in Akali a bit, since the way Michael left off with Akali, it looked like she was kinda done with the Kinkou and their complacency. And as a side note, are you able to share what you're going to be doing next since it'd be dope if you can work on another champ
Well.... in one issue. Akali had as many pages as Zed. She was a lot more fun to write than Zed. ( I actually only got into writing as a comedy writer, and it's still the most rewarding.)
I almost rewrote the whole series with her as the lead. But didn't...
I think, like the idea of Akali being a slighty younger character than Michae'sl version... and a bit more snarky and lower class.. My wife read a draft with alotta Akali and just said that Akali was very much me in my early twenties... And that made the idea if making Akali the lead feel... not exactly wrong... but self-serving rather than audience focused. (Shrug) It was an odd choice to make.
Who sets the page limit, and why?
Can you tell us about ratings restrictions scenes?
Also, why does Zed still have it out for the vastaya? I mean, everyone seems to love Ahri and her fluffy ears and tails.
And isn't the black ink a natural byproduct of harvesting magic, kind of like nuclear waste is a byproduct of nuclear energy?
Is there a reason that Zed insists on being a grouch to vastaya in the current day and age?
Marvel. 20pages.
Mostly just people Jhin killed (dead bodies) or people Zed and Kayn Killed (dead bodies). Even dead bodies are difficult with our age restrictions. This is a non-technical answer but in my experience at riot for some things we are pg13 but for most things we are PG max.
The ichor is a natural byproduct of harvesting (and damning) magic. It's not exactly like nuclear energy. Diffused the magic is strong and just sort of neutral. It's gonna do strange stuff... that's mostly just strange. Trying to force it or limit it into "good" and helpful magic means you end up with a negative or evil byproduct.
This is my favorite comic so far, you did an amazing job making Zed a tragic figure. Can you tell us some other beats you were pressured to change?
Mostly stuff that was cut for page count. Ultimately, this was a 20page per comic issue. Ashe was a 24 page per issue comic. Which I found much, much more manageable. Ashe still felt too short per issue. (God's how I long for an extra page or two for some of the fights in Ashe.) but 4 pages is a lot to lose.
Esp because I read more manga growing up than American comics (So my relationship to the medium is based on 30+pages per chapter). There was a lot of Akali scenes which were cut. Including a fight between Akali and Kayn. Some investigating scenes. A couple scenes that I cut or replaced because they would have been too hard to do with rating's restrictions. Three different scenes where Zed/Kayn were doing horrible stuff to monks and/or Vastaya. (In three different drafts... I tried to keep it alive.) . A couple flashbacks with Kusho... specifically one when Zed got banished from the temple for using the ichor while Yvenai and Shen watched helplessly (...
Read moreRead moreFirst off, loved the series. Just sad it had to end. Because I want to see so much more of this saga.
So many questions. Lots more.
1) Zed has no master/patron now, but we see he's as noble as they come. Who will be his next commander? I can honestly see it being Karma, considering she's a de-facto Ionian equivalent to a shogun? I.E. a central leader of sorts? Otherwise, how does Zed take care of the logistics of running the order? Does he become a sort of Ionian-equivalent to a daimyo of Zhyun himself?
2) How do we reconcile "spooky cinematic Zed" (I.E. particularly the Xayah cinematic one) with the fact that the real Zed (Usan) is, I'd like to say, within spitting distance of being as noble as, say, Irelia, as opposed to being an irredeemable villain? We've seen so many "spooky edgy dark ninja" Zed cinematics, and that's just not who he is. How does one reconcile that nonsense with "Zed is a badass along the lines of Illidan and Itachi, willing to do w...
What guitar is that? Looks so damn good
It is a PRS Custom 24. I've wanted one since I was like 15 so finally decided to get one earlier this year :P
Honestly I did like the Kusho twist, but felt that we didn't really get a lot of insight into his character, so I wonder if he'll be explored a bit more later on.
So I was wondering: Was Kushos turn to evil due to the shadow magic? Do you plan to explore him a bit in later lore releases?
No idea on later lore releases I don't make those calls. I think he was a corrupt a-hole before the shadow magic. (i.e. Having his son, Shen relentlessly beat up an untrained boy seems pretty cruel to me; ditto letting your son believe you are dead ) . But certainly the ichor exaggerates your worst aspects-- (it feeds and gives you power based on your your worst aspects) So its a mix.
Thank you so much for this amazing story! I thirst for more though.... Can't wait for a spinoff of Shen and Akali escorting Jhin back to jail(if they can, heh).
PS: I have noticed the Kusho doll on page 22 as Zed holds Kusho's body three weeks later :)))))
Almost like someone knew this duel was going to happen.. and even may have intended it to happen as a first act.
These comics were amazing. Literally drew tears at points for me. i am really confused as to how this will end up tying into Kayn's lore though. I thought his in game lore has to do with him actually wanting to overthrow his master. Either way, thank you for the excellent story
So mostly this puts limits on how Kayn wants to take over the Order. I think both Kayn and Zed are smart enough to know at some point they are going to duel. Maybe to the death. Maybe this will be because Kayn has become Rhaast, maybe because Zed has become a nocturne like thing. Maybe just because they disagree. But that fight will be a duel. Not some underhanded backstab. Because Kayn believes in the honor system Zed taught him, and in his master's values. And ultimately because they do care about each other.
Hey All,
Hope you liked this look at Zed boi. I'll try and answer some questions today if I have time.
remember when a rioter was canonically dating nidalee?
FWIW, if I have the person correct, Nidalee was made as an homage to his real-life girlfriend. I absolutely don't remember all the details there, but the girlfriend came first. It's kinda like Ashe and Tryndamere marrying. Sure it can make sense in lore, but that's also literally Marc Merrill and his wife.
Congratz on keeping up the excellent quality LEC production standard even during these hard times. Real talk, why is the footage of you and Frosk from the same living room?
Cuz we live together
So are you secretly Pentakill?
I wish! Hopefully one day LECtronic can do some heavier genre's of music ;)
