It's all Pyraci, ladies and gentlemen. The man is completing the legacy one chapter at a time, one piece of the puzzle at a time. This is the first part which sets all of the mystery in place. Feel free to discuss what you think is going on. I find it highly interesting and I'm sure Pyraci would appreciate it as well.
As far as digital manipulation with MxO images go... This is it. This will be the limit for some time to come. I can only hope that amateurs and professionals (Cough, developers, cough) can take something away from this in order to bargain with the inspiration fairy later. I know I will.
And this isn't it. Like HostileIntention perfectly stated, it has only begun. This is the nexus story outside of the official track; this can be where all unofficial deviations converge. That is what the Matrix is.

Superb artwork.
yeah simply amasing! iam stunned.

Brilliant stuff, Pyraci; I love the touch on expanding the background and adding a bit more city. Such a simple thing makes all the difference in immersing us/the characters in the city's environment.

Simply the best best MxO Graphic Novel to date.
Awesome work Pyraci, and well I don't think anyone expected anything less 

WOW!
was gonna just leave it at that.....but i cant....dude, you should open some kinda graphics school, simply called 'PWND'

Someone needs to learn trigger discipline. 
But gods, that is awesome work...

I just read the prelude. And I thought it was amazing.Thanks, man. I'm glad you like it. If I had the time I wanted to devote to finishing this, I'd probably be on the 3rd issue by now. (I planned 5 parts)
You are very talanted.

As I have told some, I have decided to make this a little more fun for the reader than I had planned originally. This will be a bit more of a multimedia venture than before. There are going to be segments of the story that are told in different parts, in different styles. Some rendered, so painted or drawn.
I've also gotten a great deal of what I need to make the settings in the panels realistic(thanks Tseng <33). The workflow I've created is much more simplified and streamlined now.
Here's another throwaway:

The "Prelude" issue was stored at Caffinex, so once everything's sorted there, it will be available again.

That's part of why I wanted to throw more stuff out there for you all to see.
