VIRTUS #5 - Page 20

SpeedslideArts on May 16, 2025

After 123 pages, a key aspect to Virtus origin is finally revealed.

Yes. From what might have been the least expected place, this is how Virtus got his name. Though I did drop hints at Max interest in that language back in chapter 4, on page 4 and 7. A little contrived? Maybe. But who can resist some good situational irony?

As for the bike… In V's eyes, it's only logical, he's had time to think about it and he's now his own mode of transport. And if perhaps this peace offering can make Max a better person in the long run, isn't that better?

It may not wrap up all loose threads, but I hope it's a satisfying enough way to end things for this first arc as far as Max and Sam's animosity goes.

And while Sam's secret identity is safe, Molly is hinting that she may have connected the dots. After all, sometimes the smartest person in the room is a child…

With this, we've officially caught up with all the pages I've been postponing and thus we will resume with weekly pages starting next Friday!
