It's Iimi! START WARS

 EPISODE CLXXXVI

 

It is a time of galactic terror! Millions of voices suddenly cry out in terror and are suddenly silenced as MASSIVE WORDS travel across the galaxy, leaving destroyed star systems in their wake as they irresponsibly chronicle the EVENTS from a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…

Regrettably, I used AI for cover art and background scenery between Issues 184 and 277. I still use it (reluctantly) to create logos, doodles, and symbols because there are no non-AI logo-creation programs (suggestions are welcome). I've retained some previously used AI-generated images as “historic photographs” for consistency, with the intent of replacing them when possible. Any other appearance of AI after Issue 277 means the stock art seller I purchased from misrepresented their product.

 Post-Comic Notes:

 Sicut Dudum, written by Eugene IV in 1435, can be read HERE.

 Kismetta's theory linking the Crusade account to Revelation 14:20 is one of my own. Like Iimi, I can neither prove nor disprove it. But looking at the geography and probable conditions of Solomon's Stables (misidentified as the Portico by the Crusaders), I suspect it was hyperbole, not literal. If the blood could pool up to a horse's bridle (roughly four to six feet in height), so could the urine of who knows how many horses.
