Easter Eggs: When William is recommending Mark books that Amber is interested in he cites: -Naomi Klein, a Canadian author, social activist, and filmmaker known for her political analyses; support of ecofeminism, organized labor, criticism of corporate globalization, fascism and capitalism. -Margaret Atwood, a Canadian poet, novelist and literary critic. She’s best known for her 1985 dystopian novel The Handmaid’s Tale, which was adapted into a Hulu television series. -Ta-Nehisi Coates, an African American author, journalist, and activist. He gained a wide readership during his time as national correspondent at The Atlantic, where he wrote about cultural, social, and political issues, particularly regarding African Americans and white supremacy. He has also written a Black Panther series (2016-2021) and a Captain America series (2018-2021) for Marvel Comics. When Mark is showing Amber comics that he’s interested in he mentions a comic about “an underwater welder who sees ghosts at the bottom of the ocean” he’s referencing The Underwater Welder written and drawn by Jeff Lemire. The main character, Jack Joseph, is an offshore oil rig worker responsible for scuba-diving and repairing the rig. On shore, his wife is pregnant with their unborn son and Jack feels the pressure of impending fatherhood. On one dive, Jack encounters a supernatural presence at the bottom of the sea that puts him in contact with the ghost of his own father. The story explores themes dealing with the relationship between father and sons and memory and reality. Production company Anonymous Content, which also produced Mr. Robot announced in 2017 that they’re making a film based on the graphic novel with Ryan Gosling, although there haven’t been any additional updates since. Jeff Lemire has also written for Marvel and DC comics. For DC he’s written Animal Man, Justice League Dark which focuses on magic-based superheroes who deal with supernatural threats that the regular Justice League are unqualified to deal with, and his Green Arrow run. For Marvel he’s written Moon Knight and Old Man Logan. The latter being a sequel to Mark Millar’s initial Old Man Logan comic. He also mentioned a comic called Seance Dog, a fictional comic within the show's universe. In the comics that the show’s based the comic is called Science Dog instead of Seance Dog. The reason for the change boils down to a film & television licensing issue. The in-universe comic has its own spinoff comic detailing the adventures of Science Dog and because Robert Kirkman may want to adapt that comic somewhere down the line, they had to change the character to keep those comics separate for film and television.
