Here’s some of the questions, click to see the answers on Twitter:

• @BarryReesePulp: Haven’t read issue four yet but will we eventually see Randy, Ken and Orb?
• @MichaelSacal: Will we ever see the human babies that the Vine took again?
• @baddeacon: How pissed is Aric that he missed the sacking of Rome in 410 A.D?
• @baddeacon: Will Aric settle in to a status quo anytime soon?
• @fork71: Are there limitations to what the suit can do? Is that your choice as the author?
• @liltingzephyr: Why are your comics so awesome that my husband won’t share them with me?
• @dallowspicer: Cutting off Aric’s hand in the first arc was a big step, was that a difficult decision?
• @MichaelSacal: Aric was a nomad, would he now settle down, or continue being one?
• @daronk77: Will you be explaining how/why time moved differently for Aric?
• @daronk77: Also how was the suit able to ‘fill in the blanks’ if it was on the ship with him?
• @baddeacon: (Going for the fences) Why did the armor choose Aric, and reject all the previous Vine?
