Release #33 - Gilda And Meek #21 "The Apple" (Un-Iverse #33)

What is Gilda And Meek about? It's about several things at once. It's a story of a Lucky Universe in a Multiverse teeming with Unlucky Ones and how our hero navigates that to her own advantage. It's a funny animal book that bit by bit reveals a huge fantasy and science fiction underpinning, much like Bone. It starts off as an erstwhile comedy until you realize it's actually been a drama the entire time. It's a story that after you read all 90 issues, you'll want to reread them again, as the best reading of The Un-Iverse isn't the first, it's the second. It's a bunch of random and seemingly unrelated characters and stories building and crossing over until they collide in an epic 19-part finale. It's about the antagonistic and loving relationship between the hero Gilda and the kid who looks up to her, Bernadette, and how their feelings for each other prove there is no wrong way to love a person. It's a political satire parodying the ridiculousness of the age we live in made more ridiculous by the fact that real life is crazier than my story's outlandish examples. It's about the fact that evil is uncool and mundane, and it's neat to have heroes to like and root for, and where the heroes are more interesting than the villains. It's about a strong female hero whose gender is irrelevant to the story at hand and is merely a strong hero who happens to be a female. It's about all of these things and none of them at the same time. Mostly, it's a way for me to work through my psychological crap. Which is what I think most writing boils down to for people. Check it out.

Gilda And Meek #21 "The Apple" (Un-Iverse #33)

NSFW 0 views • Jan 27, 2026

A desperate Gilda is forced to accept help and sanctuary to heal a dying Meek from the last person she wants to. Meanwhile, flashbacks to Gilda's youth and CIA past reveal that Gilda used to be shockingly, EVIL. We find out that if Gilda And Meek had been set five years earlier, Gilda would be the villain. And we get fascinating clues and insights into what exactly it was that caused her to reject evil and work towards the betterment of the world instead. For Gilda, the hero's journey is not because of a tragic past, or destiny, or her looking to redeem herself from an unforgivable action. There is no vengeance, fate, or penance attached to why Gilda Thurman is The Chosen One Of The Chosen Five. It's because she CHOOSES to be. Which makes her prophecy moniker the most accurate thing EVER. One of my favorite issues EVER inaugurates a MAJOR Un-Iverse trope and premise I return to, usually in issues that wind up amazing: The Famous Un-Iverse Talky Issue. There is no actual adventure or danger in the present day scenes and the conflict is all between the heroes, and a problem they have to fight about and talk out like a group of adults. Gilda is going to have to answer for her actions herself. There is no adventure for the group to traipse off to, where Gilda saves everybody's lives and they decide she's not so bad after all and decide to let the matter drop instead. If the group is going to hold together, they need to talk this shit out here and NOW. And that's the most Un-Iverse thing ever and one of my favorite morals. And yes, this is one of my best issues. And the best scene in the saga so far is a talking head conversation between five people. Quintessential Un-Iverse.
