Steve Orlando: "Jakub did an amazing job here with our first appearance of a Sidhan sympathizer. We begin to see there is more to Jordan than stoic strength—he’s well known on Ektae, among some circles at least, and he doesn’t like it. The world of NAMESAKE existed long before this story and it will exist long after, and it’s important to feel these characters have histories that extend beyond the page. Jakub is so key to that, creating a world that feels lived-in, rugged, alive, and debauched. I particularly love how he balances the smug, vaudeville-style expressions on the Sidhan criminal compared to Jordan’s quiet facade with rage under the surface."
