Yeah, this is the set-up for this set of Blues filler! I've been pretty openly jealous of Militant Gold's use of Boss Subtitles and was dying for an excuse to start using them in Blues. Martin suggested starting to do that after the crossover and I'm all too happy to latch onto that. ^_^
The catalyst was going to be giving one to The Light That Remembers, but that kinda wound up not working out so eh, still doing it. To settle this in we wanted to take a second and show off the concept with Xandy, Lenore, and Chloe by giving them titles of their own. In particular, Chloe's title is a reference to her last Boss Subtitle. And since that was itself a reference to the the low-budget Sci Fi film "Parts: The Clonus Horror", her logo is designed to look like it's advertising a sequel. And since Parts: The Clonus Horror was remade without permission into the film The Island, (To the point that the creators of Parts sued for copyright infringement and got a massive settlement), I even worked "The Island" into the subtitle. .... WEIRDLY specific joke but I had fun with it.
Either way, this filler set we'll be showing off previous Blues villains with Logos just to show off what those would've looked like if we'd be doing them all along. .... Sort of; they'll all be re-drawn with new art, so there's the always-fun element of seeing what some characters look like since the last time we saw them.
Any particular favorites you guys are looking forward to seeing? Feel free to let us know. ^_^
....... Jeez, it feels weird to be submitting to only one comic at a time again instead of three at once. I'm seriously struggling to not copy my comments so I can get ready to paste them two more times.
Yeah, it was intended to have a boss subtitle in the crossover for the Light That Remembers that would then transition into doing them in Blues (don't really think they'd fit with WaR, but maybe) but it kind of got left by the wayside in large part due to the way the Light That Remembers was actually introduced. Wasn't really a natural place to fit it in.
Adam's been pretty openly into the idea of taking up doing them in Blues for a long time though and hey, no harm in introducing it now. Hopefully folks will enjoy as we get into those. ... Guess this kind of goes to show that the villain of the next chapter will be a new one but we kind of already advertised where that's going anyway so not a huge revelation there.
