Credits; Linework and story: Isaac Lee Colors: Lottie Emie. This is not exactly the Bonne and Riva we know, this is a totally different story, one that came way before, 2020 to be exact. This "paperback" is the original version of Omnia Paratus before I rebooted it. It never got especially far, but enjoy the content that exists! Special extras include never before seen concept art! Special thanks to Lottie Emie who helped me by coloring every page, and really giving me the motivation to make Omnia Paratus and continue it? SO EVERYONE THANK OR BLAME HER/THEM FOR ALL OF THIS.
What I find strange at looking back on this original series is how similar and different it really is from what I committed to. One thing you'll probably notice is that it is more action/plot oriented than the regular series. I mean, Omnia Paratus will always have an action element, but looking at this original plot it feels much more expected in a way. I was defiantly trying to tell a very standard kind of story. Also....blonde Bonne is C U R S E D.
(Don't ask why the cover still says Chapter 1, I think I wanted two chapter ones in order to make Bonne and Riva equal protagonists.) That action through line continues in this chapter! Yes that is the original versions of Lucy and King Snake oof. Reading these again are still weird, but it makes me happy I sort of figured out this was not how I wanted to tell my story. These chapters are about a lot of overt things and introducing a lot of new elements, characters and action scenes, and I guess that does not super appeal to me? At least doing it in the way it was done here. Everything just feels too serialized I guess, which is why I don't actually like reading a lot of other webcomics oof.
