Fused! wasn't the first comic that we did for Competition Comission of Singapore and hopefully it won't be the last. The Competition manga series aims to inform the reader about existing Competition Law and Regulations to the readers.
The main storyline for Fused! was conceptualized years ago. Two issues ago in fact when we were working on the story for Foiled!. At that point of time, we had already done a comic on Cartels and were working on a comic on Monopoly. It was a logical assumption that the next comic will be on the last tenet of competition law, Mergers.
We wanted a story that was more light-hearted compared to the more noir-inspired stories we had previously done. It will also allow us to present a lighter side of the agency rather than rely on the more heavy-handed approach of them prosecuting competition law offenders.
Our approach, the romance story with two lovebirds trying to figure our merger regulations so that they can bring their stores together. After much discussion with CCS, the story was written and everything else fell into place.
A couple of months later, the story was finally completed and the comic released!
