Yeah Jaggs looked disappointed at all the failed attempts to kill him.

There are two possible readings here.
1) Jagg was hoping it would kill him and is disappointed it didn’t.
2) Mottom is so drat Royal in this moment that she was able to make the up until now entirely-invincible Jagg uncomfortable for several seconds with a single word.

I think it's neither; It's more of a "..You done?" impatience thing.

Jagganoth, while immortal, experiences pain. I bet Power Word Perish hurts pretty bad, even if it doesn't kill you. That was how I interpreted his hesitation.

I am sorry. I have no vices for you to exploit.

A lot of emphasis has been placed on the fact that Jagg is invulnerable, but that he feels pain. I am pretty sure those panels were of him grimacing through Mottom's hail mary because it probably hurt like hell.

My interpretation is that Jagganoth is extremely disappointed right now. He's spent untold centuries preparing for this moment, raised vast armies and trained himself in every technique he could master.

Only to face half a dozen idiots who can't grasp the fact that he's invincible and refuse to give up even after their only hope of victory got bullied out of the group.

This was the moment he truly grasped just how overprepared he is.

Pigbuster posted:

None of the main characters are confirmed dead. More importantly though, how would a premonition even really help, here? Everyone's already fighting because they don't have a choice and can't run away. Do they tell Mottom to not be mean to Gog-Agog? And then Gog helps with the spear and then what, we're back to the fight again? Or they inexplicably win and the comic ends on a wet fart of "be nice and you can change the world :)"? There's no way.
The correct move was to give the master key to Jagg at the start of the volume.

I always figure we're in for flashforward/dream/time travel fuckery when things start to get so incredibly out of hand in a story. Its usualy around the point we're most of your main characters are suddenly dead I start to suspect some sort of do over.

I would hate it though, I don't want Abbadon to pull something so cheap, but if there's anyone who could show Allison a future where she fails it'd be Jadis

The demiurges aren't protagonists. They're the guest party members who are really powerful and useful, but can't share gear with you or learn skills for some strange, suspicious reason.

My guess is that the sigils are the words they bear/syllables of royalty. The 777777 keys between them represent the 7 syllables, and the seven demiurges parceled out they keys so each got one, forming a single complete sigil.

I really don't think Incubus is ever going to ask to be killed last or surrender to Jagganoth.

His reaction to 'ah, we're starting this early' was to immediately go for Jagganoth with every ounce of his strength.

Incubus is Meti's student who learned precisely how to be poisoned by the sword, the dumb gently caress. He should have become a drunk mendicant just like Meti, he would have done less harm.

When White Chain was first interrogating Allison she warned her "I know of the fourth syllable of Royalty."

So no, White Chain does not actually possess a syllable of Royalty but even having a glimmering of understanding of it is apparently super impressive and badass feat to try to intimidate someone with.

(Interestingly, the fourth syllable does appear to be Diamond, i.e. Salami Dave's syllable.)
