2. The Pontue Legacy "Part Two: The Invisible Kingdom" (Un-Iverse #10)

Rating: PG-13. Brief bloody violence and gore, and adult themes. Author's Note for The Pontue Legacy #2 "Part Two: The Invisible Kingdom" (Un-Iverse #10)  My favorite part of the issue is Sarah listening in on the Vikings' conversation in the tavern. All in all, Part Two is my least favorite part of The Pontue Legacy, but I always dug that bit, especially Augatha's species being described as WhateverthefrakAugathais (all one word).  Still not loving the artwork, but it feels like a slight improvement on Part One.  Learning that many Dogs communicate with animals and that there is a taboo involved in translating that to Humans is another piece of the puzzle on the differences between Terrans and animals.  Next Issue: The Pontue Legacy #3 "Part Three: The Magician And The Swordsman" (Un-Iverse #11) Back To The Index If you like Gilda And Meek Buy Me A Coffee!  Copyright Matt Z

Rating: PG-13. (Adult themes and some bloody violence and gore.) Author's Note for The Pontue Legacy #1 "Part One: The Fall Of Finn" (Un-Iverse #9)  A LOT is revealed about the saga in that Prologue. The Multiverse is hinted at for the first time, and it is made explicit The Un-Iverse takes place in an alternate Universe where magic is very rare. And while we don't exactly tell the origin stories for the species of Cats, Dogs, and Humans here, much less discuss WHY there are Mutated Animals in the saga, the Prologue is the first story that makes us aware that those are all questions to be asking, and that we should look to the saga to reveal bit by bit. Don't expect another info dump like this in the future, but these are the right questions to be asking.  The Narrator being the Narrator means that yeah, he's gotten some of his information wrong. The biggest mis
