This page exists almost solely to give character and world background. You get to see the interior of Karter’s apartment and while he’s flipping through channels, you get to hear some news about the Variables world circa 2002. At this point of the story, things are starting to turn south for the Sui Generis. Groups are protesting their movement and some governments are considering restrictions regarding citizenship, movement, etc. Basically, people are scared and that always opens the door to demagoguery.

This is the most complicated page I’ve ever drawn of Variables and I’m pleased with how it turned out. I still need to practice backgrounds but I’m definitely improving. As always, click through the image below to jump to the second issue of Variables 2002.
