From Russia with Vodka
This is I think one of the few times in MAW 1.o that the Bartender got to speak, but here’s an important part of his back story right here: He used to be a Minion. In fact, in my head at least, he was a contemporary of No. 1, and first in line for the No. 1 slot, but he turned it down and walked away. I think the Bartender and No. 1 are old friends, with a lot of mutual respect, and a lot of mutual dislike for General Zed. I think that’s something we’ll be exploring more of down the line in MAW 2.o.
I can’t wait to see new developments there!
One of the frustrations of doing this was I kept coming up with back-story and character attributes that the single panel, no word-balloons format wouldn’t let me get out. Now, the chains are off!
