The Attack of the integrators
This is a comic dedicated to one of my professors at the University of Waterloo. The story takes place in a world inhabited by various dependent and independent variables, all living together in harmony, bonded together by systems of differential equations... till a barrage of integrators hunt them down in pursuit of "General Solutions", the great ruler of the "differential field village". Feel free to read through it down below and grasp the lore of this whimsical world :)
P.S. Prof. Harris if you are reading this, thank you for two amazing semesters and a truckload of memes.
If you are interested in how I made this comic. You can check my documentation here.

Chapter 8: Discontinuing the Series (TBD)
Chapter 1: The separation of variables
The differential field village is attacked by the "Integrators", who are analogous to the iconic "Terminators", except they specifically integrate their targets. They intend to find "General Solutions", and they are relentless in their pursuit. But will he yield? Find out now...
Chapter 2: I'm no ordinary differential equation
The separated variables try to defend themselves against an Integrator. With their attempts in vain, they are saved by a noble triad of General Solution's disciples. The fights ensue, blows are exchanged, and eventually in the favour of the integrators. But soon a new figure appears in the arena to triumph over them...
Chapter 3: Engulfed in a sorrowful trench
Tragedy hits the General's disciples as the Grand Wizard barely clings on to life. Knowing his flame will not burn for long, he passes down "The Sacred Book of Trench" to his daughter while delivering his verbose monologue. Meanwhile General Solutions oversees everything and prepares to go all in. The mysterious warrior however, has a different opinion about the true intent of General Solutions...
Chapter 4: A 'BREAK' IN THE TERMS
The Integrators continue to strike, but the Second Order Fleet comes in due time to fend them off. They go all in on exterminating these monsters, until their "Linear Independence" is put to the test. The unknown entity behind the Integrators leverages this shift in domination to propose an offer to General Solutions, which he promptly follows back with a message of his own, inviting the entity to come meet him in the "Laplace Palace"...
Chapter 5: A Convoluted scuffle
Trapped by General Solution's devious proposal, the challenger finds himself time-bounded in a pickle. While the Integrators' storm is calmed by their commander's orchestrated absence, the General finds a perfect opportunity to get rid of the unwanted partial who infiltrated his Kingdom, and hence Z finds himself in a rather "convoluted" situation...
Chapter 6: Step Transformation
The challenger is deeply affected by the outcome of the lockpicking examination. He tries to resolve his agony with coping mechanisms, much to his dismay, till he gives up and resorts to drastic measures.
While Z is stuck in the frequency domain, the rest of the crew must traverse an unknown territory. Here they meet their match with an unfamiliar equation. Will their adversity make them stronger? Find out in this chapter (you will have to do a LOT of reading for this one in particular)...
