“There was a . . . disagreement—a big one—about what art Rian Gonzales should put on this prismatic drop of candy-colored cards. Some people wanted more pirate gear, others wanted more summer fun, a few just to get weird with it. Fingers were pointed. Words were exchanged. Shade was thrown. And the decision was made to put everything on ice for the good of the Lair. But when the boss left, we decided to just combine all our awesome ideas onto five sticker sheets to let fans decide! You can peel, pull, and sprinkle your favorite bubbly sticker art however you want across all five fantastic cards.”
