OOOOOOFT. This is brilliant!!!!

Taurin Clarke @muaadib.bsky.social · 23/09/2025

Nah I don’t take it that way, so you certainly shouldn’t. We were only supposed to have 7 issues and look how far we came! Ive been on books that ended before; you just move onto the next. I’ve got some insane stuff coming down soon and I’m hyped to share when I can. Thank you for the support.

Taurin Clarke @muaadib.bsky.social · 22/09/2025

I cannot stress what a life-changing book this was for me. Absolutely proud and blessed to have been able to contribute. BIG thanks to @christophcondon.bsky.social for trusting the vision.

Almost forgot: Inari's kitsune! Inari's skulk consists of Yako (one-tail), Zenko (two-tail), & Tenko (three-tail). This is based on the mythological concept that the more tails a fox had, the older/wiser/stronger it was. This idea is loosely reflected in Inari's foxes.

Since Monika is blasian (Japanese father, black mother). For those who don't know, when you design black characters, it's very easy for things like skin tone & hair texture to get lost in translations. That's why Taurin adding these specifics into Inari's character sheet is so necessary.

The great thing about Taurin is his first drafts are so good you really only have to mix 'n match your favorite things! I ended up going with option 3 w/ the note of shrinking her hip slits as we didn't want to inadvertently sexualize her. After that it was mostly finding the fight mask look.

Design-wise, I sent so many images to Taurin & my editor TOm over the course of '24 that it'd be impossible post them all here, but the main influences were Yuffie, Ibuki and Kimberley from Street Fighter. These influences are reflected in Inari's first designs

Her creation came about summer '24 after I got Covid & finally had time to play FF7 Rebirth. She is heavily inspired by Yuffie, one of my all-time favorite characters . I had been wanting to do more detective stories w/ Miles, and a young, fun, ninja thief seemed like the perfect fit for our series.

I co-created Inari with the immensely talented @muaadib.bsky.social (we also co-created the Ellie Deadpool design!). Inari is a Japanese-American, super-theif, with the mutant power to manipulate the electromagnetic spectrum, which she uses to create hardlight foxes.

I'm sitting in the Toronto airport, sleep-deprived & exhausted from spending the past 5 days going feral at Fan Expo/pushing the limits of the city's nightlife. So I figured now would be a perfect time to do a character breakdown of Monika Mori aka Inari, who will be appearing in MMSM 37 this week!

Hey, you know I’m a huge fan of your work… but I’m an even bigger and unrelenting of Star Wars, so know I meaaaaans that shit haha. It feels like the first time I read anything EU for the first time as a kid… fresh, exciting and full of mystery. Great stuff.

The lack of media literacy (amongst all the other more horrible things) with these people is strong. Thank you for this lol.

Thank you for the very kind words AND insights. I think with GA we have a great team, thanks to our editor …and he’s always given me space to do what feels right with our book. it’s very collaborative and that helps elevate the final product. I’m glad it’s resonating with folks.

this is basically just a big plan to impoverish the united states

Pushing Americans to have more babies they can’t afford, making sure they’re idiots by obliterating the Dept of Ed, filling every online space with misinformation via AI + social media while empowering militarized cops and privatized prisons to lock folks up with no civil protection? Scary stuff.

Kids today are already barely literate, socially stunted and incapable of free thinking thanks to no child left behind policies and tablet-babysitter parenting. This’ll be a new level of the Great Dumbening for a nice pliable generation who’ll take whatever they’re fed at face value. Terrifying.

I think i overcooked it a bit in the final, but really liked the vibe in the comp sketch

I like a little realism, but also keeping it a little cartoony as well! Thank you for the kind words and support!
