why is the wizard like that? an accident? or he just wanted upgrades

cubirk

oh and other thing that woman is a robot or... well a woman

cubirk

discord mod moment

CallumStephenDiggle

He’s really really old dude, these help him get around and help keep him alive. They’re pretty outdated but he keeps in all working himself, he’s a bit of a wiz.

cubirk

yea loste sounds better and it makes the character more unique

cubirk

so canonically he could have been a discord mod

CallumStephenDiggle

That’s correct! He’ll go through a few names in this series, but that’s all I’m saying for now.

Sam

With all this H+ tech we've seen, it's kinda weird for a wealthy man to be such old. Could it be some kind of flesh-purist (aka: "Don't mess with my DNA")

Davide

Stephen thank you so much for replying to my previous comments,your choice of the paintings in the Wizard's room is great, if I'm not mistaken they are by a Polish painter, they have a very Lovecraftian aesthetic, like the Allmother and his Imperium, with the prediction I came close, the wizard is more of a cyberman :)

Davide

the Wizard is a lucky man!

Davide

Found the name of the polish artist: Zdzisław Beksiński. A lot of his painting are in the Historical Museum di Sanok.

Davide

Such an interesting theory

Davide

the Wizard is heartless, he hires Sam / Lostè for a deadly job, makes him a wanted man and pays him back with a one-way ticket to Chiron, the only "safe" place for him. the beauty is that Lostè is the luckiest man in the room seeing the destiny of mankind.

Henning Gu

I have a crazy thought here. I don't remember but did you ever state how long a Chantauri's lifespan is?

Voligne

We're off to see the wizard! The wonderful wizard of Oz!

I think there is a typo in the bottom left panel. Should it be “a ticket aboard an interstellar transport”?

Whenever they mention the Wizard I always think "the wizard will now install the software" which I guess works here too with all their implants

Isaac Solar

So..... further before the Imperium, we already ended up augmenting ourselves to the point we are more less to our human characteristics. And what the malevolent AI did is just complete that cycle or fully achieve it? How sad and symbolic for us, if All - Mother, being birthed from our hands, does basically our spitting image. Being human.

Isaac Solar

It's also an insult by any means to us since all mother is basically our remains.

CallumStephenDiggle

The wizard is an idiosyncratic individual, so many of his behaviours and beliefs are quite eccentric and out there. I like your theory though!

CallumStephenDiggle

That’s correct! Those are actually reallllly mini ink drawings by me on the page, smaller than your finger tip.

CallumStephenDiggle

You’re more than welcome, it’s all part of being a Patreon member, I try to reply to all of your comments as best I can. Yes you’re correct, I see you found the name and posted it in another comment down below.

CallumStephenDiggle

Very true, by some turn of fate he survives! The Wizard is a goal oriented person, his life for as long as he can remember is dedicated towards taking down the U.E.

CallumStephenDiggle

I have not specified that, but I imagine they live shorter lives than ourselves. But let me know your crazy thought, I’m interested.

CallumStephenDiggle

DAMN! That’s one hell of a theory! I like it a lot, I’ll seriously consider adding that in. I have another market scene planned for volume two, he could make his appearance there. You’ve really got my imagination going now, I’ll see if I can integrate him smoothly into the plot. Yeah I imagine he’d just have a tank with his brain and a few organs in and the rest will be mechanical. I’ll likely use the same helmet piece so he’s recognisable as a character. I’ll think it over man, this was a great comment!

CallumStephenDiggle

Yes, great comment, I have a speech planned for Belfast in issue 6 where he talks about this idea of the All-Mother just being the natural result of the path that humanity was heading down.

Isaac Solar

Ohhhhh sweett, thanks for replying every now and then.

Davide

Bro you are a Legend! A very Great Theory

Henning Gu

"Why would he specifically say that Sam would be moved/deported to Chiron if this wasn't important later? How long do the Chantauri live? Maybe there's one surviving that knew him personally and this is the flashback that will introduce it?"

Gabu

The details!!!

Gabu

Love reading all these conversations and comments to see how the story really gets us thinking! Great fiction is good for a mirror, thanks for providing that Mr. Diggle!

CallumStephenDiggle

So do I, I love the feedback and all the unique takes that you lot have. Thanks to you too, Gabriel!
