Steve's comments:

This comic is about death. Specifically, trying to avoid it for as long as possible, ideally indefinitely. Maybe it can be done, maybe it can't, but without at least trying you are guaranteed of dying. Even slim odds are an improvement.

Aha, people often retort, there are worse things than dying, and being brought back as a slave would be worse than not being brought back at all. I say maybe, and maybe not. For even slaves fought to survive in the coliseums of ancient Rome.

However, while there are many less-than-desirable possible outcomes, there are also many desirable ones. I intend to explore some of these over time in MegaCynics.

So let's start with the the most obvious one and go from there. I love the way that Ash has rendered the future Steve zombie, and the awesome expression in his face. It's art.
