Release #9 - Free Will Volume 1 Issue 9

💸⚡ FREE WILL — Issue #9: “REBEL” Short Synopsis Free Will meets Rebel in the deserts of Tija, where Crown City’s growing instability finally forces Rebel to seek outside help. But Free Will isn’t motivated by heroism, loyalty, or justice. He wants to get paid. As Rebel explains the rising factions, incoming war, and mounting danger threatening Crown City, Free Will barely listens—until money enters the conversation. Once Rebel offers cash up front, the deal changes instantly. To Rebel, the situation is serious. To Free Will, it’s opportunity. The issue establishes a major canon truth about Free Will: he doesn’t fight because it’s right—he fights because he chooses to, and usually because there’s something in it for him. By the end, the two move forward together into an uncertain conflict, fully aware they see the world completely differently. Rebel fights to protect the city. Free Will fights for whatever benefits him most.
