The fans really liked how this page turned out, as did I. I got to flex a few of my background muscles and try things out in terms of the scenery and setting, but I also really got to explore the characters here. This page, perhaps more than others, sets the stage for what's to come and what's different about this issue. At last, we get to see the characters as characters!

Translation to the lyrics of "In Pace", from The Book of Wisdom, by Patrick Doyle

"Cherish righteousness, o judges of the Earth.

The souls of the righteous are in the hand of God, and the torment of death will not touch them.

In the sight of the unwise they seemed to die, and their departure is taken for misery - but they are at peace.

The ungodly ruler has no hope, and even if he lives long, he shall be regarded as nothing.

But the just prince, but the just prince, he is at rest.
