Ooo, backstory! Can’t wait to eventually learn more.

Been reading since the beginning, actually… unless you’re suggesting that “She” is the same person as Carlie? That would make this an interesting dynamic – Scott having been romantically involved (I assume) with Ethan’s sister. That would kind of explain the “more than coworkers, kinda friends, but not quite ‘bros’ ” vibe I get between Scott and the other two. That would make Scott, in a way, kind of family.
From what I can tell, Carlie is dead.
Or comatose.
Or something involving loss of multiple limbs and body parts

Yeaaaaah. It was a bit unnerving how he just went and stabbed himself to respawn when he returned with broken arm from game store. It feels way different than old Ethan.
I was actually thinking about that. Seems inefficient. They should have a guillotine setup, or some other convenient execution machine for Ethan to kill himself if the need arises. Perhaps he could opine on the least painful method?
Not THAT many.
“Why do you have a giant guillotine in your living room?”
“My friend who is into Medieval Era stuff gave it to me for my birthday”
“Why is there blood around it?”
“Sh- uh, we use it to cut beets.”

Oh shit, sounds like a harsh past. I can see how Ethan was able to save Scott in whatever kind of accident he might have been but not his girlfriend/fiance/wife. Maybe that was also the time where Ethan first realized that he had the power to “respawn” after death.

Around this time,
Personally I think this guy is dating either a rival super hero/person( who hates them), or he’s not ready to come out of the closet yet
In the middle of Humanities class, (It’s socail studies) really quickly going to this site when the techer is not looking and reading it. Once i got to the part with the deep fried turkey, I burst out laughing. Teacher looks at me funny and im just like ummmmmmmmmmmm sorry?
Different Timeline, so maybe but not necessarily. Remember, Lucas never met Lilah here, so Ethan never met Lilah. Also, Zeke wasn’t a normal part of the family for long enough in order to perform the needed mischief to set up Kate and Lucas. It’s a long and arduous procedure to explain all the facets, but this should do.
Knowing Scott, (which we don’t) he would be more likely to be Asexual. He might also be gay, but it would appear he is Asexual. To clarify, this means that while he can feel romantic feelings (he isn’t aromantic and/or a sociopath), he would simply…not be willing to “take the final step” or whatever euphemism you find appropriate.

Lucas’s eyes on the last panel creep me out. It’s like they’re looking in my souls and won’t let go. It’s hard to look away.

I probably should have asked this sooner but better late than never right?
So the whole time travel thing with the robots… is that like an ulternitve univers or a seperate story? I know Tim likes using Eathan and Lucus in all his stuff but I’m a little confused as to how we got here?
So scott’s bff’s with the guys and in a wheelchair… and the penguin is gone but Eathan still owns the game shop?
I feel like I’m missing something here. Can anyone explain where this fits in with everything else?
CAD 1.0 ended on November 26, 2012. Everything after that is 2.0, including Ethan and Lucas, which is an entirely new continuity starting from scratch. Some elements are familiar, some things are drastically different. You can think of it as an alternate dimension, if that helps.

You need to read back to learn more. 🙂

Might raise some questions though…
Not THAT many.
“Why do you have a giant guillotine in your living room?”
“My friend who is into Medieval Era stuff gave it to me for my birthday”

We know when Ethan first realized he had the power to respawn though, we saw it in the last full issue.
We did? When was that again?

Thanks a lot! Totally forgot about that part.
I THINK the arc you want starts here:

I believe this is the more correct one:

Can confirm. Correct one.
The ‘L’ word????
This one?

Ach, I geet it!

forgot to mention that i like that it says: p1
That “p1” thing means “part 1,” i.e. this is part of a multi-part story.
Just out of curiosity, what is the application that is displayed on Scott’s left monitor?
Looks like accounting/financial software
I do wonder if Kate will be making a return.

My money is on he’s gay.

Love your work btw!
