Continuation of the Golden Boy arc remix fancomic! I'm fascinated by how the original run is essentially a really trippy multiverse story. With the saturation of multiverse stories today, I notice that a bunch of them are about grief and using alternate universes to save a loved one. So we wanted to twist it and tell a story about using the multiverse to hurt someone with one's own grief.
Survivor Twin grief from losing a sibling before birth is often dismissed since "why are you grieving someone you never met" and this is also repeated in the canon Golden Boy arc. In reality, survivor twin grief is very real and deeply painful. Many survivor twins struggle with unresolved and invalidated grief, spending years struggling with intimacy in relationships because they feel like they're chasing a closeness they've presumably never known. Strangely enough, a lot of these feelings of grief, guilt and struggle with commitment are things John Constantine goes through. I think revisiting this arc with that more authentic twin experience could open up so much for him as a character.
