In the original version of this page, once the ninja comes to the cliff, he simply pulls out his sword and turns around to fight Viper, who shoots him off the cliff. But after Jessica had drawn the page, I decided it'd be way sweeter to have the ninja grow big-ass bat-wings and fly toward a fiery vortex in the sky to escape. Besides, since the supernatural plays a huge part in the comic, I realized that we needed to introduce supernatural elements into the first issue.
By the way, some people mistakenly think that the cliff overlooks a sea of water, but it's actually overlooking a forest.
Jessica studied a bit of Japanese as a hobby, so we thought it'd be interesting to include a little in the comic. I think you're the first person to translate one of those balloons. Er, at least the first to let us know about it.
