What went into building the protagonist, Roland Endo, and why is his mouth so far from his nose?! (jk) Getting big “90s badass” vibes from him, in a fun way! The conception and perception of cancel culture are prevalent in all walks of life, is there a grand statement you're trying to make on the concept of being “canceled”?Do you think/One might construe this comic is trying to say those who are canceled may not be treated fairly, or it's not necessarily the consequences of their actions, just mob mentality, what would you say to that argument?The story takes place in 2050, given the state of the world today, is your estimate for global blood lust for people being canceled too late or too soon?There are two kills in the first issue of “canceled” people that seem to be a reference to real-life folks, how do you walk the line of depicting potential real-life people in fiction?Why do you think there's a love of hitmen in our culture?
