    Sounds like a good plan, if a lousy situation. :(
    I'd much rather be unemployed than dead or seriously injured. I figure that after twelve years in this business, my luck is about due to run out. The situation at night when the bar lets out is fucking crazy and I figure that it's only a matter of time before some drunken idiot decides to react violently to the wrong word or gesture, or for no reason at all. People are being beaten, stabbed and even killed in this neighborhood, and the cops can't do anything to protect them. I have no intention of becoming the next victim. I have had enough.

    Wel he says you pay the thosand bucks for an 8-12 page strip, and he'll give it out to everyone. So, it could just be a very charitable soul.

    Scary enough, someone actually bought it. I would have insisted on either being a major charecter with an actual joke or some exceptional badass in my one or two panels, or insisted on being a recurring background charecter that doesn't do much if I was going to spend $5000 on it.

    Regrettably, yes, to both questions.

    Do they not realize that this is basically confirming that they're an evil empire? I mean, we all know they are, but they could at least be subtle about it.

    Where does the energy come from then? You need to apply something to have something happen, specific physics aside.

    Reality warpers tend to have some vague energy source to call on. A direct hotline to their universes magic. A Cosmic Cube. The Infinity Gems. The "Larger Universe" the Beyonder personified. Whatever the Q Continuum actually was.

    To be Omnipotent, whatever power you are calling on needs to be truly unlimited. Enough to, say, form a new universe in an instant without any visible loss of power to the source.
