Maybe Maya, if she's waiting to swoop in at an opportune moment, but we still don't know what her deal is. i figure the final boss, other than Al-Yisun's own lack of enlightenment, is probably Metatron he and 2 Michael (and Zoss) are the ones playing the big game here, and I suspect they have something up their sleeve to handle Jagganoth if it becomes necessary Jagganoth was Metatron's original omnicide scheme but Metatron presumably intended to rebuild after Jagganoth wiped out the rest of the annoying multiverse

We don't know for sure what kind of angel (or 'angel') gave Jagganoth the iron feathers he used to become invulnerable, if that's even a literal event and not an oblique description of some weird thing he did. I don't think there's a bigger game than the demiurges - Zoss and Mettatron are in relation to them, not superseding them.

I wonder who would win in a direct confrontation between Metatron and Jadis seeing how they're both fully immobile e: you could hypothetically add wheels to Metatron and turn him into a vehicle but I'm not sure 2 Michael would approve ThaumPenguin fucked around with this message at 00:35 on Mar 6, 2019 |

Shouldn't there be a new page sometime today? I don't want to rush perfection and this comic has had a lot of edge-of-my-seat periods but I REALLY need to know what's going to happen next right now.

Hard to say for Mettatron either way, but Zoss is absolutely a bigger game. Dude is far further along Royalty than all the demiurges put together. If anything, it seems as though Alison might be his last attachment to the world, the universal war having ridded him of the rest. A way to fix/reboot his original sin. Maybe he'll end up channeling YISUN into full form or someshit, who knows.

It's struck me for the first time just how hosed up most of the Demiurges are. Mottom and Incubus are falling apart, physically. Mammon is senile. Jadis and Gog-Agog are insane, and Jadis is frozen inside a block of ice/stone to boot. Not that these are weaknesses--they all make up for it somehow--but none of them except Solomon is anything approaching normal.

My main takeaway from this is Gog-Agog is all worms, even her clothing.Hypocrisy posted:Huh. Was Incubus' sword always a cane? He was tap-tap-tapping along with it when we were first introduced to his corporeal body, but exactly how infirm he seems to be wasn't really apparent until this scene. It looked like he was probably leaning on it last page, but now he's actually wobbling.

His goals seem to align with hers in some twisted way. While he definitely wants to incite war, it's not certain he wants to rule.

I think we've gotten a pretty clear picture of what he wants at this point. Winning is the only thing that matters. He says Solomon David hasn't won yet, which is mostly another way of saying Incubus hasn't won yet because he has to share his position of power with a bunch of people that he resents for looking down on him. So his solution is to start a war that hopefully gets them all killed.. That doesn't paint a picture of someone who would be fine with sharing the spotlight with Allison in the end. Though, it seems like he hasn't thought at all about what would happen after he's won, given he seems to think ruling is... beneath him? Incompatible with his nature? Allison might be okay with walking away, but leaving someone like that on top? A clash between Allison and Incubus seems pretty likely.

I'd got the impression that Inky and the Jags had a sotto voce pact between them to wreck the other five demiurges, and that a big chunk of Incubus's long term plan was teaching Allison enough that she could then thump the poo poo out of Jagganoth and leave just Allison and Incubus. I assume he has some plan where he can then overcome Allison on his own via deception because if she can thump Jagganoth then no one else stands a chance in a heads up fight.

Something that probably started off as a mark of pride but became a mark of shame as he got on in years. that symbol looks a lot like U+00A4: "Currency Sign" ¤ iirc it's supposed to be used in cases where the real symbol is unavailable, or if the actual currency can be understood by context and it's not worth the trouble of printing the right symbol for individual currencies, or the currency itself literally just doesn't matter. Or somehow it was just supposed to be used as a placeholder that automatically converts from an abstract amount of currency to the correct local currency. P weird symbol. Works for mammon.
