If someone with a Reddit account feels inclined could you ask if there will be future comics and lore stuff? Seems kinda wasteful to add original characters if they’ve completly dropped that.

This AMA unlike the others they didn’t set it to shuffle comments with every page refresh, weird.

4

To be fair, it’s a lot easier to cancel a comic series than it is to cancel a hero that was probably in development since November.

That’s what the AMA says, but it seems like 40-60% of people are just posting anything. Not that I mind. Qhira is too narrow of a topic for an AMA imo.

It is fair. I just wanna know for sure is all.

AMA is now live, i will edit in the answered question when it is over, which will be in 2-3 hours.

For thoses less used with Reddit dialect, here’s what means AMA :

It is an acronym for “Ask Me Anything”.

13

Here I thought it was “As Many Answers” :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Thanks, I feel like you’ve put a lot more effort into posting these than questions themselves being answered lol. So much of nothing was said

I kinda feel the same.
Scrolling through all of it was alot of work.
I stopped halfway knowing this thread would pop up (thank you so much for that)
Tbh they do it frequently so hats of for that.
