| Finder (Comic Book) | comment |
Independent comic book described by the creator, Carla Speed McNeil, as "aboriginal sci-fi", although perhaps better described as "people in a weird world with very human problems."Strange creatures, Lost Technology and bizarre customs regularly crop up in rich detail, but they're all eerily familiar and serve as the backdrop to tales of love, hate, confusion and seeking.Think of it as Slice of Life Embellished, with the embellishment cranked up, then taught to play nice and not upstage Slice of Life. The stories are focused on (or at least tangentially related to) Jaeger, a member of the title order of Finders.Several issues and two complete storylines can be read at the creator's website.Dark Horse have recently begun publishing Finder, releasing the first seven arcs as two omnibus 'Library' volumes and continuing to publish the comic in serial format and graphic novels.Has nothing to do with The Finder tv series.Stories so far: Sin-Eater (two volumes): Jaeger returns to the city of Anvard and discovers that Emma Grosvenor, his on-off girlfriend, and her children are in danger from her mentally-disturbed estranged husband, who is Jaeger's former commanding officer who Jaeger is still in contact with. King of the Cats: Jaeger travels to the city-cum-theme-park of Munkytown to help arrange a peace deal between his own nomadic Ascian people and the Nyima, a culture of humanised lions. Talisman: Emma Grosvenor's youngest daughter, Marcie, struggles with the fall out of Sin-Eater and her own developing writing talent. Dream Sequence: Magri White is the creator and, via brain-computer integration, human server of Anvard's most popular MMORPG. But something in his mind has started to attack his guests... Mystery Date: Vary, a high-class prostitute and anthropology student, has to deal with cultural issues and her attraction to both of her academic supervisors. The Rescuers: The baby son of one of Anvard's wealthiest men is abducted and murdered, and Jaeger attempts to ensure that some kind of justice is done. Five Crazy Women: Jaeger confides in a gay buddy about the problems of heterosexual dating. Voice: Rachel Grosvenor, Emma's eldest child, tries to win full acceptance in her mother's clan despite her half-breed status. Torch: Partially published online, then abandoned: the installments were later deleted, and the Rachel plot thread was recycled and expanded into Chase the Lady. Third World: Published in the Dark Horse Presents anthology series and the first color comic in the series. Jaeger gets a job as a courier, is sent on an unexpected trip out to distant parts, and finds himself confronting the dark secrets of his past. Chase the Lady: Also from Dark Horse Presents. Rachel discovers that becoming Llaverac aristocracy just means more financial worries and public pressures. And then there's the Ascian community that she's somehow become the public protector of, and the very real physical and spiritual dangers of her increasingly deep involvement in their Voudoun-like religion. | |

| Finder (Comic Book) / int_121865ac | comment |
Noble Savage: Averted. While a lot of city folk THINK the Ascians are like this, they're just as annoying and tradition-bound as anyone else. Especially blatantly called out in "The Rescuers" when the part-Ascian scullery maid Lydia, who's fascinated by Ascian culture, refuses to believe Jaeger when he points out to her some rather unpleasant facts about Ascian traditions, including traditional misogyny and viewing twins as ritually impure (to the point that if one twin doesn't die, it needs to be abandoned), two customs that arose from Ascians being nomadic and needing to conserve resources | |

| Finder (Comic Book) / int_1542e3c6 | comment |
Themed Tattoos: The tattoo which marks a person as a member of the Finder society, a barred stripe around some part of the body with a line of dots parallel to it. Jaeger's are around his hands and have to be frequently redone as his Healing Factor causes them to decay. Rachel's is around her neck. | |

Mayor of a Ghost Town | |
| Finder (Comic Book) / int_19ac3a7a | comment |
Mayor of a Ghost Town: "Chase the Lady" reveals that Jaeger is hereditarily the sole remaining representative of an otherwise extinct tribe which continues to be recognised by Anvard's administration as a legal fiction to achieve various political aims (similarly to "rotten boroughs" in the pre-Reform UK Parliament). This allows him to take control of a hoard of unclaimed money that has been paid to the "tribe" for allowing other people to rent its embassy building. | |

Domed Hometown | |
| Finder (Comic Book) / int_1ed1bead | comment |
Domed Hometown: Anvard, as well as some others that don't really come into the story much. Anvard's design is a variation on the usual trope, though- rather than being a normal city with a big dome on top, it's built in layers, and in most parts of the city, you'd never see the dome itself. It was also built so long ago that the inhabitants don't really know how it works, and is starting to break down. No one seems to be that alarmed, though. | |

All of the Other Reindeer: As a half-breed, a Finder (a member of a greatly revered secret society) and a Sin-Eater (a religious caste of untouchables), Jaeger is simultaneously outcast from his own people and essential to their culture.

Wolverine Wannabe | |
| Finder (Comic Book) / int_663219ce | comment |
Wolverine Wannabe: Jaeger has some obvious similarities to Wolverine — short, tough, hairy heroic guy with a Healing Factor and occasional berserk fits, with a constant inner conflict between desire for solitude and need for company, and a tendency to befriend teenage girls in a non-creepy way. | |

Abridged for Children | |
| Finder (Comic Book) / int_6828b109 | comment |
Abridged for Children: "Talisman" has a weird in-universe inversion of this. Marcie Grosvenor spends years trying to find a children's book that Jaeger read to her regularly when she was a little girl. When she eventually finds it she discovers that it's complete rubbish... and then she realises that it's not just Nostalgia Filter, it's that Jaeger was improvising almost everything and using the book simply to get prompts from. She ends up feeling oddly betrayed by him over this. | |

Fantasy Gun Control | |
| Finder (Comic Book) / int_6bcfbc7e | comment |
Fantasy Gun Control: Guns exist in this Scavenger World, but the means to manufacture guns and ammo is limited. The Nyima refuse to use guns for this reason, except for one tribe that makes their own, averting the logistical vulnerability dependence on firearms would open. Can someone check the above? I'm not sure enough to edit, but I had the strong impression that guns aren't harder to manufacture, rather the Nyima avoid them simply because it would foster dependence on outsiders (Amish logic). | |

Remember the New Guy?: Brom is introduced in "Five Crazy Women" as one of Jaeger's best friends, but has never previously appeared (although there's a guy who may just possibly be him visible in the edge of a panel at the end of "Sin-Eater"). Justified to a degree given Jaeger's wandering habits and solitariness. | |

Expository Hairstyle Change: Lots. Jaeger's many haircuts show the passage of time and his general status; if the cut happens onscreen, it usually says something about his relationship to the character doing the cutting. Lynne dyes it brown to pass as a Medawar. The decline and fall of Magri's fabulous fiberous hair closely reflects his mental state. | |

Dropped After the Pilot | |
| Finder (Comic Book) / int_c6b4b048 | comment |
Dropped After the Pilot: The first chapter of "Sin-Eater", and the whole comic, has Jaeger arriving in Anvard and going to a bookshop, where he has a lengthy conversation with the staff, all of whom he seems to know well, which seems to be setting them up as major characters. So far, they've never been seen again. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Finder (Comic Book) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Many, often referred to in the notes. A possible one not acknowledged is that the bookseller who Jaeger buys Marcie's gift from at the beginning of "Talisman" looks a great deal like the horror writer and critic Kim Newman. Towards the end of "Chase the Lady", Jaeger is watching TV, and the dialogue in speech bubbles from what he's watching implies that it's the film adaptation of No Country for Old Men. | |

Brain/Computer Interface | |
| Finder (Comic Book) / int_da15842d | comment |
Brain/Computer Interface: Present in the form of plugs or brain computer.that seem to work similar to cyberjacks, which exist in varying forms of complexity, from student-level jacks to full-immersion interfaces. Marcie's has an advanced jack especially for medical computers to directly monitor her condition and influence her treatment. She can also use it to interface with computers, mentally conduct Instant Message conversations and learn skills quickly (albeit unpleasantly; Marcie runs away screaming when Lynne offers to teach her to read via hookup.) Movie theaters take advantage of this by including sensory enhancements and "mood tracks". In the Dream Sequence storyline, the narrator has a full-immersion connection as a job perk, which allows his employer to physically pack employees like sardines, while they experience a lush virtual office setting. The plot revolves around a virtual theme park/MMORPG whose creator hosts the world inside his fully-networked brain (which, of course, goes horribly wrong). Interestingly Deconstructed as it's shown that this let's technology can manipulate memory, if you pay enough people won't remeber the way to your house without their express permission. | |

Artificial Zombie | |
| Finder (Comic Book) / int_db94aee5 | comment |
Artificial Zombie: Inverted, the zombies are still alive but they still go about scuffling along in packs. This is because they're office workers; they have a chip in their brain that lets them do all their work on the internet while their bodies are sent out shambling to get more exercise. One woman's husband shows up to get a look at her because he just got a post card announcing her promotion | |

Amateur Sleuth | |
| Finder (Comic Book) / int_e3048d1b | comment |
Amateur Sleuth: "Finders solve problems and break trail, that's all." In the Rescuers story, Jaeger is willing to assist the professional investigator of a kidnapping, but both parties are frustrated that Jaeger's talents and methods would never be admissable, and his social status makes bringing him on much too awkward, leaving both of them hamstrung. Jaeger vents his frustration on his fellow Ascians, who could easily do the same feat of tracking, and they eventually do, administering some harsh vigilante justice. Rachel has to become one in Voice, ironically enough so that she can track down Jaeger so he can help her recover her ring. | |

Expy | |
| Finder (Comic Book) / int_e5421161 | comment |
Expy: The awkward line between archetype and expy is riffed on throughout "Dream Sequence"; one of its themes is the golden ideal of originality vs. the basically influence-driven nature of actual art. Many side characters have their roots pointed out in footnotes. Magri himself is a partial expy of several characters, and he gets some on-screen trouble for it. One that isn't pointed out in the footnotes: tweenage Marcie Grosvenor in the middle section of "Talisman" has some similarities to Marcie in Peanuts. | |

This becomes especially noteworthy in Voice, where Lynne helps Marcie but refuses to help Rachel find her ring, even though by helping Rachel Rachel in turn could help Marcie (because if Rachel can get admitted into the Llaverac clan, Marcie can go to college) | |

Mental Monster | |

Mental Monster: In the "Dream Sequence" arc, the central character is, via brain-computer linkage, the human main server of the MMORPG that he runs. When a monster starts attacking his clients in the game, he eventually realises that it is the personification of his repressed anger at the fanbase, and defeats it by going way beyond I'm Not Afraid of You and having sex with it. | |

Sin Eater: Jaeger Ayres, the protagonist of many story arcs, is a ritual sin-eater for the tribe of nomadic Ascian people from whom he is partially descended. As such, he is simultaneously needed but also feared and distrusted, which metaphorically overlaps with his other on-and-off role as a sort of private eye. | |
