is Alix Tarn from the Imaginos TAOYET comic canon now?

[Axelmania]

I noticed Palladium is distributing this comic: https://palladium-store.com/1001/produc ... ook-1.html

I was flipping through the 6-page "full-size preview" PDF available at https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/14 ... ginos-Plus and it looks like an interesting comic.

We always knew Erin was the "oldest of seven daughters" but it's really neat to see Erin's younger sister "Alix Tarn" in this as one of her companions.

Makes me wonder what she might be up to now, assuming she's still alive. It's set in 53PA and Erin is 16 and Alix doesn't look that much younger, so maybe she is the 2nd-oldest at 15? They don't look like twins...

One thing that kinda throws me is how nobody seems to be wearing MDC armor and they're just out in the wilderness trapping lizards they know nothing about. It actually bites Alix... she could've lost a finger if it had been an MD-inflicting creature!

I'm hoping they make more of TAOYET (The Adventures of Young Erin Tarn), excellent art, very manga-ish, loads of potential.

Is Kev willing to give them artistic control to expand the Rifts Canon?

Also wondering if anyone has an idea of what species Wimik is? I thought maybe elf for a second until I saw the tail. Doesn't look bestial enough to be a simvan... seems to have a good sense of smell. Might just be a generic mutant human/d-bee with randomly generated traits but I'm wondering if it resembles any established race published?
