Birthday Dream

The final page of issue 1 also happens to be another one of our favorites.

In my initial script, it was just going to be a splash page of the glove resting on the forest floor, but after we decided to add the arcade scene and Eddie's dream to the start of the issue, it seemed more fitting to end the issue by returning to Eddie's slumber fantasy. Especially since the last half of the issue is dominated by Viper and we didn't want to mislead people into thinking that Viper was the comic's main character.

The design on Satan Ninja's second form is a little different from his pixel version that was shown earlier, because Jessica drew this page before deciding to go back and re-do the pixel art for his second form. We decided to let the discrepancy slide since it's subtle and it's a dream, which rarely reflects reality with much accuracy.
