Wait, Kessio also said that they're reviving CyberNoir and are making an Insect Men ongoing! Are these also lies?!

Also, Graft The Leg ceased to exist in Post-Retconiverse, didn't he? I think that's The Antelope.

Man, I hope they're lies. CyberNoir is done, Techago fell in a heap of flame after Al Robone's nuclear still exploded, leaving it an irradiated wasteland. If they're going to do some building themselves up from the wreckage shit, I can't even... I just can't even. And Insect Men? Manos Clarbrun had the definitive run, and they can't just pave over that shit. They impregnated God, for chrissakes! THERE'S NOWHERE TO GO FROM THERE!

What, no! Wasn't it mentioned in CyberNoir #23 that there was a backup Techago hidden in the Omnidisk? Which means that if it were to be destroyed completely, a new one would materialize in its place!

Also, it was specifically stated in the mail section of Insect Men 14# that the Insect Men Easter Special was a What-If story, and is non-canon, which is why The Hammer of Thorax is still intact in the next issue.

About the Insect Men: I'm not saying there's nowhere for the story to go, I'm saying nothing could measure up. The destruction of the Allhive, the Rise Of Pupus, Six Legs Good, these are classic socio-entomological works, and the Air Raid event that capped it off perfectly expressed the apocalyptic atmosphere of the Graphite Age and destroyed the rebuilt Allhive, ending the lives of many of the core characters, the only exceptions being Arach and the dung beetle one, and do we really want another "Alas and Arach"?

And about CyberNoir: yes, the backup Techago was mentioned, but in issue #34 they use it as a decoy to lure the Beta Bandits away from William Random Number Generator Hearst's prototype railgun just long enough for them to load it, and bring the city down on the Beta Bandits, and it was made clear that it was limited to one use, so your argument is invalid.

About the Insect Men: Antdromeda and most members of the Picnic Pilferers are still alive in the Apocalypse Anthill, but yeah, nothing can top "For Sting and Country."

And as for CyberNoir, I didn't read #34, so I didn't know that, but I kinda wished they'd resolve several plot threads, like Al Robone's personal vendetta with Al Machino, which was introduced in the "Als Well That Ends Well" arc.
