I loved the comic with all my heart, even though the Kusho part was kinda cliche- it very much took me off guard!
I dunno if you will anwser this but- I don't mind if you don't!

Both Zed and Kayn are my most favourite champs ever, lore wise, design wise, game wise.. everything. I really love how you portrayed them in Zed's perspective and I know Zed isn't a "hero", hes done a lot of horrible things but as he said, most men have. Especially growing up in a war torn land and witnessing all those dreadful things at such a young age, I don't blame Zed for the way he thinks, that doesn't make him good or "justified", but it definitely doesn't make him a completely bad person.

Although I love the whole badass facade Zed gives off a lot.. I was really hoping that by the end of the comic Zed and Shen could have at least remained allies. I understand where you were trying to go with Zed- and I understand with the circumstances it would be very hard for Zed to remain friends with Shen after all the lies and after ACTUALLY killing his father now, but I was hoping they could at least some kind of small understanding or mutual friendship- I'm hoping someday in the far future they might be able to build their relationship into that small friendship or brotherly friendship, even if its nothing like what they once had when they were younger. I really loved the whole forgiveness thing in issue 5, it hurt a lot to see that had to be put to an end after he had just "redeemed" himself :(

Other than that, the only real question I had that a few of my in-real-life friends were curious about, (sorry if you've already been asked this already,) will Akali and Kayn's relationship ever expand? (I personally don't ship or see them together but I think it's a very interesting aspect of the lore and something that could maybe someday change the view of the Kinkou and Shadow Order/)

Again thank you for this wonderful comic, Odin! I personally think that you did a great job and I'm sorry to hear how hard it was to write!

I think in a small way Zed and Shen's relationship did heal. They did work together which indirectly sets a precedent that they could work together in the future. For instance, if the world was in trouble.. or if Yevnai was in trouble or one of her sons got in trouble.. I kinda feel like Shen and Zed would put there feud on hold again. And I think in a way they both know that now. (in part because Shen DIDN'T kill Zed when he had the chance... and because Zed DID keep his word to Shen.) Baby steps.

I'm not sure about Akali and Kayn. And don't know any plans for them. But I do think an interesting buddy story could be told with the two of them having to team up.

HAHAAA YESSS I KNEW HE DID IT ON PURPOSE IN THE FINAL FIGHT! Such a relief to hear it officially though. I asked this on a different thread but if you dont mind answering, who would win in an all-out fight between Zed and Shen? It was stated many times both in comics and in the comment section that Zed was holding back, but what if he wasnt? Has he completely surpassed Shen, or are they equals?

I think they're equals... and because they trained together they know a lot of each other's techniques and fighting styles. (not all but they had the same foundation... hence the panel where they land in the same pose.) . I also think it would be hard for both of them not to hold back. And I think they respect each other too much to use traps or dirty tricks. So I feel like a "fair fight" would probably be decided by the battlefield or situation. This is just spitballing... but if Zed was protecting Kayn.. I'd bet on him winning... but ditto for Shen defending Akali. So.. shrug.

ndeahhhhhhhhhhh

Hello, If I am sorry, I would really like to know how to speak correctly. In my region there are no rioters involved or who care to answer these things. What I said is personal, I don't want to make anyone feel bad. Okay, now I understand some things more, I like your explanations. Regarding Zed and his friendship, the only thing that Shen obtained was Jhin (and that surely escapes 1000 times more) The fact that Zed says that he will kill him seems excessive and makes no sense, Shen only gave him good things. Hopefully they treat Shen better, I am seriously thinking that she is the saddest and most unhappy character in the game. I feel like your relationship is like this--> https://imgur.com/nycGZnG  I understand about yevnai, everything was summed up and was open to misinterpretation. It seemed strange to me, you know? It doesn't change my image of zed if you put that character on or off of the history, Zed and his friendship with shen was enough to show that they are both screwed in the head. In general, everyone who read the comic in my region uses Yevnai as a recurring joke, you know "Neither Evelynn nor Ahri is that ........ as yevnai" "shen failed cuckold" "zed cuckold idiot thief brides "bla bla bla. Now that you say it I can understand this better, it is a summarized idea that would have been fine with the proper development, but most people did not understand it that way, they think it is bad and a bitch. For my part I do not like their existence. (and ... I liked the thing about aatrox) I think you should not decline your ideas, everything I read that you would do and wanted, it was great, things are half prone to misinterpretations. I myself have interpreted things differently until I read your texts. About the public: You would be surprised about the public, I was surprised when I started reading the Lore and interacting in Lore groups. I am a man, and I made 5 surveys in lol groups of more than 20 thousand people, and statistically the majority of those who read the lore, (and interpret it in detail), are women. I'm in a group of Shen fans, and another of Zed, and another of both, and in all three, 90% are women. (I'm even surprised to see how many little girls love Zed, I'm talking about 13, 14 year old girls.) Don't be guided by the public. Stupid questions ps: Shen has a mother? Are the Leds in your eyes always on? Akali still wants to kill Zed? Where's Jhin? You made my year happy with having answered me. I appreciate you, and I don't hate the comic, I liked , except what I have written here. I will be happy to expect more lore from shen, zed akali, etc, even if years must pass. Cheers!!

Stupid questions ps: Shen has a mother?
y.

Are the Leds in your eyes always on? Huh?

Akali still wants to kill Zed? Probably.

Where's Jhin? Oh he is still jail. Wait.... what's today's date? Uh... hard to say... probably in jail.
