RASL | |
| RASL (Comic Book) | comment |
RASL is comic book creator Jeff Smith's follow-up to Bone. A science fiction series with noir elements, it follows RASL, AKA Robert, a former physicist who travels between parallel worlds as an art thief using stolen equipment. As the story goes on, we learn more about RASL's past research into parallel worlds - and the consequences of leaving the project.The story is much darker than Bone. The artwork is stunning and the storytelling is tight. The series was collected into four 10" by 12" volumes, called the "Giant Artist Editions", and the first two volumes are also available in a single smaller book. | |

Human Resources: The "free energy" Tesla wanted to tap into is actually the lifeblood of alternate universes. Utilizing his technology to tap into that would wipe out countless lives ad infinitum. | |

Bittersweet Ending | |
| RASL (Comic Book) / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: RASL manages to land a critical blow against his former employers, kills Sal, and is able to keep digital copies of Tesla's lost journals after destroying the originals. But he's estranged himself from Annie, killed Maya to stop his tech from being misused further, Miles ultimately died of his injuries after all, and he's still a vagabond on the run with no way of knowing if he'll ever shake his pursuers for good. | |

Interdimensional Travel Device: RASL has one called an immersion suit. Invented it, actually. It looks like 4 airplane turbines strapped to his shoulders and legs with an African mask covering his face. | |

Obfuscating Stupidity: Though they have his tech, RASL's old bosses and their minions can't use it to do anything except track RASL across time and space with the sole exception of Crow, who managed to figure out a way to travel to new dimensions regardless, but keeps mum about this knowledge. There's also Maya, who pretends to be an alternate universe counterpart unaware of the parallel universes. | |
