It was nice that Silver took the time to put down a blanket. Wouldn't want him to get uncomfy. At first I was under the impression that Mogul was presently speaking with him, but I suppose it makes more sense that he's just part of a memory. From my perspective it definitely sounds like he's trying to fill Silver's head with a lot of hooey to get him proud enough to change the past in his personal favor. Honestly, who says stuff like "You are the Guardian of Ages" to a kid? Was it really a good idea to tell him all that before he was mature enough to fully take the role seriously? Seems to me there was no rush since time traveling is a thing... unless he did it on purpose because Silver was so young and gullible. I simply don't trust the guy.

Concerning Sally and the desolation of Mobius, it seems to me you set up the Genesis Wave to be responsible for that. After all, when Eggman announced it on the last page of Issue 1, Mecha-Sally was there too, which implies she has a direct connection to it in some way. The only other canon thing we know about what happened before Doomsday is that Naugus got his hands on two more Emeralds, but that isn't necessarily important in the present.

What I noticed on my recent run-through of the comic is that, unlike most people who try to wrap up the series, you're not content to simply resolve matters, but you create new sources of conflict so that the tale naturally continues. Lara-le is still hiding someone in Albion, Remington's grief and anger are eating away at him, and undoubtedly you've still got plenty more twists up your sleeve.

My hope is that the next page will have some interesting flashes of what Silver sees, but then again you could make it all secretive and just show him freaking out about something.

Janika is good, Janika is wise. :meditate: You have good foresight into the future of the comic. It's true that I want to tie up many loose ends from the original timeline, but I also want to develop the story further so it doesn't feel like I'm retreading old ground. Albion has been the main focus so far and Archie didn't give much indication what fate has in store for them after Lien-Da's attack. All we know is that the echidna society is hanging on by a thread and Knuckles is in exile, so I want to build upon that and to create a natural progression of current events. Having said that, I won't be returning to the plot point of Lara-Le's prisoner until issue #5. I'm afraid it's a matter of timing. There are other plotlines and characters I need to focus on first to keep things in chronological order. So I guess you'll just have to wait a little while longer to find out which mysterious individual is being held captive..... :eager:
You did awesome on Mogul
