Actually come to think of it there's a perfectly good caption about war on that very page. Sigh. Missed opportunity.

I think it's still larger than the original run of the first book?

I just remember my copy of that being a whole lot smaller than my other trade paperbacks.

Volume 1 was smaller, and then reprinted to be the same size of volume 2, which was larger than a normal comic book trade. Volume 3 is the same size as a comic book trade, and was drawn in that ratio for just that reason.

Thought process of Maya thinking back on this much later:


e: Maya might have given up the throne because Incubus was actually more worthy, and of course Incubus would get poo poo on for not having fought for his throne.

Oh clearly. Hell, you know what I want to happen? Incubus becomes Meti's dumbass apprentice and learns the true way of the sword while Maya blunders off into her own path. Many, many years later when Meti finally bites the dust, Maya starts calling herself Meti's apprentice because she's dead enough to not dispute the claims and she knows it'd piss her off.

Seems so, and both on an opposite trajectory. Maya starts off prideful and winds up humbled, and Incubus starts off with jack loving poo poo beyond pure WANT and ends up with the biggest ego of anyone.

It's gonna be real tragic if it turns out the real reason Maya gave Incubus the Key was because she thought he actually deserved it more at the time since he actually got "real" training from Meti and came from nothing, and that just breaks his brain forever since in his perspective it denies him all the rewards he really wants.

"My student once asked me what should be done about my body when I was inevitably torn apart by my enemies. My answer was simple: feed it to the dogs outside the walls of the city. She was horrified, of course, and protested loudly. 'Alright then,' I said, 'Give me a stick to beat the dogs so they won't bother me'. 'But master,' said my idiot student, 'You will be insensate. ''Well if I'm insensate then why do you give a flying gently caress what happens to my corpse?' I said, settling the matter."

Meti has previously been seen with a halo/crown; does she have a Key? Or does your crown appear once you start attaining Royalty, and keys just make it easier?

It is supposed to be a physical embodiment of your soul flame. Those who have true royalty can manifest it without a key I think. Zoss had it before he made a single one.

It's the latter. Keys amplify your power. The original Demiurges all came to Throne without them, and forged the keys after conquering the city, IIRC. All the second-generation Demiurges obtained keys after Throne was connected to the 777,777 universes
