Where to Read

The First Half

The Second Half

After the Mechanical Author retconned away everyone's memories of the Saviors of the Net, life in the Looniverse went back to normal and the Saviors series went on hiatus for a couple of years. It wasn't until the end of the Mutton Mania cascade in 2000 that Marc Singer resurrected the series, by making Mutton's epi-epilogue Saviors of the Net #13.

Legacy

Saviors of the Net is one of the stories that set the tone for the 21st-century LNH. Everything from the characters to the worldbuilding to the structure of the cascade to Amabel's weird issue numbering has inspired and influenced later works.

In 2013, Arthur wrote Before Saviors of the Net: Human Aquarium as a parody of DC's Before Watchmen comics.
