the future is WOW
Sep 9, 2005

I QUIT!
I keep getting the feeling that Allison might be more of a curiosity to her at the moment rather than an immediate and outright foe, hence why she keeps asking her what she thinks of death (and also why she doesn't seem to be in any kind of rush to start cutting Allison up, instead just hanging out and watching the parade of idiots do their thing). Perhaps she wants to see where all of this furious dumbassery leads to before she gets to murdering and toppling (not that Allison has much of a throne to topple yet). It's not like she can't just step in and take whatever she wants whenever she wants, so she might as well just kick back and see how things go.


E: Whatever the case ends up being, I gotta say I'm really enjoying the juxtaposition of the warm smiling auntie who pays for noodles with a proverb and the stone faced, red-eyed murderess who would kill you just as soon as look at you.

she cut the panel

"When I grow up, I'm gonna be a proper swordsman. One with clothes."
She did the "cut a bullet in half in midair" thing and the "blade so sharp it takes a few seconds for reality to catch up and split the thing in half" thing simultaneously.

I wonder if she'd be more or less effective with a mundane sword?

Let's be reasonable here; we all know there's no such thing as a sword.

Simultaneously, everything is a sword.

Only once one realizes that this is not a paradox can one become a true student of Cutting.

Cutting is inherently destruction and reduction. When you cut the world into shapes you reduce or divide it each time. When is one of these gods going to start creating things?

To create implies a beginning, and There Is No Genesis.

cutting is a simple rotation away from nutting and from that we see that death and conception are mere rotations of each other

I love how the two nameless soldiers in the background in the first panel are just going 'oh yeah THIS is gonna totally end well.'

And her response is 'well this is totally not a scenario I haven't played out like, ten thousand times before.' Though given her background, she very well could have done so.

Creation already is. In the beginning, YISUN was everything, infinite and containing all possibilities. Division was the only possible act of creation; only by reduction into the finite could form can be created and change permitted. Only by killing a set of potential realities could the others exist. A block of stone becomes a sculpture by cutting away that which is not wanted, removing the material and destroying all other shapes that the block might have been; only in this way can the art be realized.


Now, my question is: having seen what just happened, if you are one of those guards (and assuming you are not already lying dead on the next panel), what could possibly induce you to stay in this room and continue attempting to kill this person?

Unless I'm looking at the comic wrong, she also managed to have the bullet bounce off her face and still hit something behind her.

Looked more like the cut also deflected the bullet off to the side and over her shoulder.

I think the cabinet is supposed to be directly behind her. The perspective is just a bit odd because of the shape of the panel etc.

As scary as this murder hobo may be, the worst she'll likely do to these mooks is kill them. I'm sure they've already seen many time over the kinds of things Mottom has done to people. Death probably doesn't hold much terror compared to that.

Pre-ordered the hell out of it.

Anyways, which Demiurge has the worst domain? If Solomon has the best (where as long as you fall in line & don't ask for pesky things like "elected rulers" or "less harsh punishments for lawbreakers", you're treated well), who is generally the most lovely of the Seven?

Its so awesome to be able to talk to you directly. Thank you for this amazing comic and I will be buying the hell out your book.

Since you're answering questions; if offered the opportunity to adapt your comic to an animated series, would you take it?

Were you reading this thread? Also, did you do some GBS cyoags way back? I think I remember your handle from somewhere. The daily comics mock thread maybe?
