If y'all have any questions about lore or whatever, I would be more than happy to answer spoiler free :)

Not a question but a compliment. Page 4 of chapter 30 brings memories of one of the best scenes from the movie True Grit (the original with John Wayne). Well done and thank you.

True grit was actually a big inspiration for me when it came to making this comic. I watched both the old and the new. The new one got me hooked on the idea of incorporating the western slang in the speech.

You picked a great movie as inspiration. Good thing you didn't use the Wild Bunch instead, awesome movie but over the top for a manga.

Anime wise I was also inspired by cowboy beebop, Trigun, and Black Lagoon. And mostly these early 2000's girls with guns genre at the time. Where there are two girls that are partners going against a threat. DIrty Pair Flash, You're Under Arest, Bubblegum Crisis 2040, They were very yuri coded...unfortunately that never happens. So like a rainbow colored thanos I thought "Fine, I'll do it myself"

Holy smokes! Input from the Author, themself!? That's dope.

I try to make myself approachable ^^

Mad Dog is somehow both calmer and more unhinged than I expected. XD

Looking forward to seeing more of the other gangs.

Isolated, not everyone is like that. It's kind of like...a code of honor and respect. I was intending to show that he was so far away from the point of no return, he discarded his honor and respect. Only to try and reclaim what was left of it in the end.

Figured it was something like that with Sam (plus, deliberately provoking Tess before the fight). The others made me wonder. Like Slick Willie or the guy Sam shot before leaving the Dandies.

Well That whole gang is a bunch of assholes. I wanted to make a gang that think of themselves as superior men. Real dapper. Kinda like focused on 1920s dapper style and earlier. Believing in old gender roles and the like. Which is why he told Molly she'd make a good prostitute. Basically I wanted that gang to be really hate-able and punchable lol. Though Slick Willie kinda learned his lesson.

Ch. 37.

That's a Brennen quote from Dimension 20. I'm starting to wonder if we're the same person.

I'm also like 90% sure Molly's guns are based on ornaments for The Last Word and Cassie's gun is an ornament for The Ace of Spades.

Cassie and "Arsenal" are clearly based on Yang and Blake though Cass design wise is a mix of Blake and Neo (gotta get the best of both ships)

The splash art introductions in the style of Borderlands

One of the poses in an earlier chapter was clearly a Drake meme, and then the Anakin and Padme meme.

Then there's the Cigarette Kiss from Black Lagoon...

I feel like I'm watching Pootis Engage and need to make a list of all the references I can spot and I'm pretty sure it will be incomplete.

I just realized Perry shares a color scheme with Perry the Platypus. I'm not sure if that was intended or I'm now finally reaching, but now I can't unsee it.

I like little easter eggs ^^

Chapter 45: The coyotes put up more of a fight than I expected. Turns out Perry wasn't the only one worth something.
Just being able to take some of Tess' punches, I guess Marcus isn't called "the mountain" for no reason.
Sadly for thems, they have a tendency to make rash (and sometimes unlucky) decisions. Taking in that idiot Cullen, who is clearly more trouble than he is worth, insulting Tess within Perry's earshot, talking smack about Lacey Jones (and cheating in a fight), trying to take over towns by force and using the diplomatic approach once settled in instead of the other way around.
Sam should have planned ahead a bit more.
Really, even without the Apollonia crew showing up, causing so much noise would've probably attracted the attention of Mad Dog sooner or later. And if his nickname is anything to go by, that would have been bad news for them.

(ch46:Well, Alma call them out on this, and it looks like they did attract the attention of Mad Dog.)

PS: Funny enough, despite their nice suits and surface of gentlemanly behavior, dandies (and former dandies) seems to have the worst track record of calling women B*tch or Wh*res. I wonder if this is a general trend with the gang or just a few isolated cases.

Sci-Fi Western huh, why pick that setting?
It just for me Western is bit of a cliche, I guess the familiarity is due to Cowboy Bebop and anything Cowboy from tv series and so on.
I really like the Webtoon Dub even if the southern US accent give me mixed feelings, plays a bit too much into Western trope even if it does sounds nice.

It has to do with it being a sort of...nostalgic thing for me. In the era of my dad ruling the TV remote, that was what I watched with him.

Hello! I am the creator. I hope you enjoy it. I have always enjoyed reading yuri on Dynasty Scans. So it's so surreal to have my own work on here. Love you guys!
