Magnus #1 Question

Post by 1A_Freewill »

In Magnus #1, does the guy from Golf Lev who's "seen many robots around here" (bottom left panel, page 21 or so) look like Aram to anyone else?

I just reread the issue, and he stuck out to me for some reason.

I know the panel you are talking about. Yeah, the guy does resemble Aram.

This has been discussed before, but long ago. I think everyone agrees that at least unofficially, that's probably at least a model for Aram.

Welcome abroad! Great first post, keep 'em coming!

I think it's safe to say Armstrong hadn't been created when Magnus 1 was being worked on. Don Perlin sounds about right.

What if the fictional character of Layton said that on the fictional message board within the real VALIANT universe?

I like to think it is Aram, even though Layton said it's not.

It'd be so within Aram's character to hang out in the gutter so he could drink and fight all day.

Besides, we know Aram's kicking around in 4,000+...maybe he was still on Earth at this point.

Also, everytime I see "1-A" my brain goes, "A-1" and I wonder just how exactly steaksauce became freewill.

Just because it's within aram's character to hang out in the gutter and drink and brawl doesn't mean that it's not in Don's. :P
