Apologies for missing last week’s update – got stranded abroad due to snow and could only take my work so far on my portable setup. Getting a hang of it though! -cryo

Sandman’s a low key bad ass, isnt he?
I think at this point he’s graduated to highkey.
A badass in slippers
Fuck ’em up, Sandman. ;_;

And don’t forget, my son
To include everyone
I tuck you in, warm within
Keep you free from sin
Until the Sandman, he comes”

Go and get them Sandman!
As Dan points out, this is right on the cusp of that Hero/Villain dichotomy. Sandman’s gonna be a wild ride, I think.
Dan is still in “never trip again” denial. Poor guy.
Kind of hoping he’ll be able to get back in the game. He seems useless without his trip operating ability. No real marketable skills or prospects. Plus, I’m sure “I survived the Worm” doesn’t have that much of a celebrity status.
The trips do seem to be an integral part of his identity. Maybe part of his character arc will focus on Dan learning how to be a better person without relying on drugs, chems, or virtual trips. (I know, I’m optimistic.)
“All those…moments…will be lost. Like…tears…in rain. Time to die.”
Revenge is an understandable, trustworthy motive.
Guess I’m #TeamSandman now
I forgot to check up on this comic for a few weeks and had a nice backlog going when I came back! Now I’m chomping at the bits again, haha.
Really excited to see where this goes.
I hate to do this, but this whole hacker-that-can’t-hack thing is making me think of Neuromancer again. Poor Dan! However, I can’t tell if it would be a really good thing for him to get back his ability to trip again. It really might not be, in the long run. However, he’s not really prepared to live a normal life, either. I worry about this poor busted soul.
Do you guys think they’re gonna pull something and he magically gets his powers back? I don’t know how I’d feel.
