Happy New Year!

“Dammit, Adam Black,” you’re saying right now, “I’m too hung over to figure out what’s going on in today’s page!” Well, let me explain:

Hampstead is referring to Billy, whom we saw waaaay back at the beginning of this story. You know: the “shoot your boss” dude. Billy was a lot like the Necromancer in Locus: he had tattoos on his skin, meant to be used for personal protection.

Now Billy’s tattoos are personal protection for Hampstead. That’s how Hampstead rolls.

So why is Hampstead barefoot in Locus? Because he didn’t need them anymore.

Funny thing is: the book Hampstead’s referring to is the same book the German stole to create The Gun. Hampstead still thinks Billy took it. Maybe he’ll find that out later. Stay tuned!

So what’s your New Year’s Resolution? Mine is to get a job working for First Comics. Wish me luck!

Regarding the tattoos Hampstead is now wearing on his boots: They’re Necromantic spells of protection, much the same as the tattoos we saw on the Necromancer from Locus issue 3.

The Sepharans have (“had”, rather) a different language and a different alphabet. This is the Tongue of the Ancients, which was the first human language.

It was the first language of the old gods, too.

I’ll go into it more once Locus: Godslayer gets up and runnin’.
