Back with Chapter 1B of EMPTY CODE!
These four pages dive into the flashback sequence to reveal how Mickey ended up in that cell. I used a much lower color saturation for these panels to visually signal that we're stepping back into a past memory.
Detective John Michael thought taking down the Krin Group enforcer was the end of it. He released the damning footage, the news reported the arrest, and for a moment, he believed his family was finally safe.
He thought it was over. He was wrong.
When you're dealing with organized crime, every case handled can trigger a hidden trap—especially when an anonymous source is pulling the strings.
What's Next:
- Pages 9–12 coming much later
- Behind-the-scenes timelapses for each page dropping on 3Speak over the coming days.
