COMMENTS

This storyboard image depicts Dr. Walker giving a mission brief on whatever to a number of well known characters from the RE franchise. Rough timeframe would be shortly before the events depicted in RE5 given the presence of Piers Nivans, who died at the end of that adventure. This was strictly a concept thing and does not correspond to anything in the Exodus Epilogue other than to stress how important Dr. Walker became to the FBC, BSAA, and DSO in the fifteen years following the Raccoon City T-virus Outbreak, as is described in the Epilogue.

--------------------

One of the things of which Capcom has been continually guilty throughout the years is developing interesting original characters for its various RE franchise adventures as depicted in various media and then either doing nothing else with them or not using them again for years. Perky little Rebecca Chambers is the best example of the second case, but what about Nikolai Zinoviev (RE3, Outbreak series, RE3 REmake)? There are others too. Shall I give you some of the more notable examples of the first case? How about Billy Coen (RE Zero), Carlos Oliveria (RE3/RE3 REmake), Ark Thompson ([Gun] Survivor), Bruce McGivern and Fong Ling (Dead Aim), and more? As things stand right now Elza Walker doesn't even fall in the second category, given that her game (RE1.5) was cancelled three months shy of release, and the only two things that are "officially canon" (a-hem) about her as of this date (April 2023) are her name and an updated version of her firesuit, both of which were included in RE2 REmake. Get the picture? Okay, let's move on.

Having re-weaved Elza's story into a hopefully more exciting, fulfilling, and entertaining adventure with my Exodus fan novel, I didn't want to leave you hanging at its end as to what happened to her after that, as Capcom is so often guilty of doing. To that end I wrote and included an Epilogue briefly sketching out the rest of her life from after she finishes recovering from the Raccoon City T-Virus Outbreak in 1998 all the way to a few days after the last of the various C-virus outbreaks depicted in RE6 fifteen years later is dealt with. The above image was made either as I developed the Epilogue or made later after I completed it for highlighting a specific event referenced in it. To find out more, read the novel!

I also have two more Exodus supplementary web comics, both either covering or set in the Epilogue's time frame, that I hope to repost at a later date.

Enjoy, and feel free to remake as your artistic talents and available resources permit. You have my permission!
