Superstring posted:Genocidal angel or no, I do wonder what his plan is for dealing with a Demiurge. I don't think he is going to deal with a Demiurge. I think he's just going to re-corporealize White Chain, tell it to go endear itself to Alice, and keep his distance. Clever way to make an angel go where you want: put a spike in it, move its armor, pull the spike out.

Zoss was betrayed and beaten at that point. It seemed like more of an execution.

If anything it seems like Juggernaut was the one thwarted. He thought he was killing the King of Kings like a huge badass, when the King in fact just couldn't care less for definitions like "alive" or "dead" anymore because they're irrelevant to him.

Zoss is hardly the only unusually active dead guy kicking around Throne; presumably Juggernaut Star et al. were aware that that might not be completely the end of him but he can be assumed to be out of the running for mastery over the multiverse at this point

i meant more in the sense that being dead doesn't necessarily stop folks from moving around and talking and stuff, but none of them seem particularly lucid. The garbled prophecy delivering Zoss ain't really the Conquering King anymore, just a few leftover bits of him

I kinda wonder if we're meant to take meaning from him using pliers when Alison just pulled the needle out barehanded. I mean they're probably not the same thing, but the visual emphasis made me think.

Cio didn't wanna touch the previous needle lodged in White Chain's battleframe, so I'm guess its kinda of an implied 'don't touch' kinda thing, at least for demons/angels. A bit like handling a rod of spiritual Plutonium.

Allison didn't pull the needle out with her hand. It just kind of popped out on its own, which was weird. Probably a subconscious use of the power of the key, I guess?

I think you're misreading those panels, though I can see what you mean. If you animated them it wold look like her hand had moved forward a bit and needle just leapt into it, and that might be supported by the speed lines running up to the back of the needle but none to her hand. Honestly I doubt it though, because it's overcomplicated. She just grabs the thing and yanks it out, because blithely manhandling a fistful of spirit plutonium is exactly what Pree Aesma would do.

It's not overly complicated; She Luke-Skywalker-in-the-Wampa-cave'ed that needle out. Why you'd ignore all the explicitly drawn details on that page so that you can come to the conclusion that she physically grabbed it and pulled it out is beyond me.

Yeah I mean besides the fact that it would be a failure of basic paneling to not show her grabbing the needle, she's actually not close enough to White Chain to get her hands on it. And the fact that it surprises her in the middle of a word by just popping out on its own. Allison may have willed it in some way, but there's no way she just yanked it out with her hand.

She's also grasping it at a point where it would have still been stuck in White Chain, as though she caught it after it flew out. Abaddon's been pretty good at not having that kind of error, his composition is extremely solid, so it would surprise me if the intent of those panels was that she'd physically grabbed it.

Since acquiring the Master Key, Allison is a lot stronger, as illustrated here: http://killsixbilliondemons.com/comic/ksbd-5-82/ That's a pretty good sized dent in the wall and even she looks surprised.
