A short comic inspired by the Arcane Season 2 teaser.
I wrote and storyboarded this comic back in March-April and worked on it on and off for the last 3 months. I’m happy (and nervous) that I finally get to share it with all of you and I hope you enjoy it!

It’s kind of funny to think that Caitlyn’s plan was to just
interview the tattoo goon from the airship about who he worked for and then a
few days later ended up neck deep in the family drama of the single mind behind
the Undercity’s organized crime that she was looking for, his mentally ill
daughter who HATES her, and her estranged sister who is a prisoner that Caitlyn
broke out of jail when she couldn’t interview tattoo goon because said estrange
sister broke his jaw.
Leading to Caitlyn breaking the estrange sister out of prison only
to learn she is a highly regarded figure in the Undercity due to her and her
sister’s adopted father being the former mob boss in charge. However, he was
killed by the current mob boss after said prisoner’s sister severely injured
their adopted father and killed their two brothers in an attempt to save her
family by using the Hextech crystals they stole from Caitlyn’s family’s beneficiary and really
her only friend from the current mob boss’s first human-shimmer monster.
And all of THIS essentially boils down to a shouting match between
the mob boss and sister fighting over who loves the insane teenage girl more,
despite the fact that she has kidnapped all of them and has made it very clear
that she is a very dangerous and unstable individual.
Oh, and this family drama will have major consequences for not
just the Undercity, but Piltover and a good chunk of the world; because said
mentally ill teenage girl is a genius who figured out Hextech and created a
shark rocket and has just fired it at the council, because she has once again
accidently killed her father and now Caitlyn’s mom is definitely going to die,
because Caitlyn didn’t want to shoot the mentally ill teenager because Caitlyn
is falling for her sister.
And again, all Caitlyn wanted to do was interview some random thug
and prove herself as a detective and now she has untold amounts of trauma to
deal with.
–
Caitlyn: I’m going to interview this prisoner and prove myself as a
detective.
