I don't think I've ever used as highly saturated colors before… I'm trying to stylize my coloring just as much as my lineart, trying to find a recognizable style for this comic. For a pretty long time, A.D 1997 was done without any stylistic considerations. It's just when I started a "superhero comic" that I consciously considered changing my style… now I'll try to find an individual style for all of my comics.

Also, "Hades" is the greek version of Pluto (or vice-versa: Pluto is the Roman version of Hades), the God of the Underworld. It's a little in-joke about Naoki Urasawa's manga "Pluto" (which in turn is based on Osamu Tezuka's "Tetsuwan Atom" aka "Astro Boy" - I really can't recommend Urasawa's work enough). Yup, Tezuka's/Urasawa's Pluto is a robot.

Thanks a lot for reading & commenting!
