BREAKER OF INFINITIES 1-2
Chapter: 1
“The dread masters of this world meet under two circumstances: to discuss the terms of our enslavement, or absolute apocalypse. There is no good of their coming together. Much like a man will tell a storm is coming by the color of the sky, if you should see their meeting, you had best head for high ground.”
– Musko Reeve
U rite, Mammon. U rite.
Love the theological implications of Gog-Agog knowing who Jesus is
The theological implications of Gog-Agog are that theological figures are in fact worms.
Sounds legit.
It’s one way to rise from the dead after three days.
That might just be the Devil Liquor reinterpreting the original utterance as something your pitiful English-speaking brain can comprehend.
Jeez could very well be a form of “YS”
Chattering teeth, blades in head
Reformed from blood soaked into bed
The hellbound heart don’t know it’s dead
And it turned into a ballroom blitz
Observation one: the bearer of the Word “Beast” seems most chiefly accomplished in surviving enormous applications of deadly force.
Observation two: They believed you, Nadia, but what could anyone do about it, given…you know.
Observation three: “Oh dear” indeed, Great Dragon. Iä, and then some.
Is the candle in Gog-Agog’s head a sign of her burning will as a demiurge AND a metaphor for something else in her that’s… dripping/drooling ? heh
The arena and the surrounding city may be rubble but this pay per view is going to be sick! You don´t get to see a battle of the gods every day.
You probably only get to see one battle between gods. Observers would be lucky to survive.
“oh hey look Solomon just threw a punc–”
There are no more observers.
And that includes remote observers, I’m pretty sure. You can still be blasted to smithereens if you watch the Gods of the Seven Part World duke it out on pay per view, while comfortably sitting on a couch inside a kuduk hole on a different universe.
Godspeed you, Black Emperors.
Hoping this ends with the deaths of all the demiurges. None of them is worth the powder to blast them
I’m rooting for Jadis to survive, which is the severest form of punishment for her.
I’m sad to see the end of the journey approaching, but I’m grateful for the wonderful ride.
Never underestimate worms, demiurge or mundane. Sooner or later they’ll sink their fangs into you.
And the worms crawl in, the worms crawl out
The worms play pinochle on your snout
Mammon brought more swords than Jagganoth. That’s a bold move.
Baba Yaga Om
All in all, i think the soundtrack (and theme) for “Highlander” is called for.
“I am immortal, I have inside me blood of kings, yeah, yeah
I have no rival, no man can be my equal
Take me to the future of you all!”
Born to be kings, princes of the universe!
Only ONE universe? Amateurs!
Say goodbye, my friend
Here’s your promised end
Now round and round
We all shall lose ground
No more gods, no more lies
And no more tyrants
There on the river Styx
You’ll see, my friend
I wonder if the oath they took actually binds them in some metaphysical way (like how the Ancient Greek Gods would swear on the River Styx, and then they literally couldn’t break it AFAIK) or if it’s just their word that Solomon-David is trusting to keep the promise.
It does kinda look like gramps doesn’t know why he’s there
second to last panel really shows how much Mammon’s forelimbs resemble a dog’s… which begets a mental image of gramps doin a biiiiiiiiig stretch before battle
Maybe Mammon will sniff Jagganoth’s butt in greeting?
He take an biiiiiig steppy
JOBBER PATROL—-~!
ASSEMBLE !
Zettai unmei mokushiroku
This SUNDAY! SUNDAY! SUNDAY!
Witness the world’s greatest cage match as demiurge takes on demiurge in an unbelievable beat down! You paid for the entire seat, but you’re only going to need the edge!
The only reason to miss this is being dead or being in jail! And if you’re in jail, break out!
Gog-Agog says “jeez.”
Jesus canonically exists in this universe.
I hypothesize he was a demiurge who ruled over 12 lesser demiurges until one betrayed him. He was so feared during his time that his name remains as an expletive.
Jeez is Gog-Agog’s brother. They are twins, except that he is made of sentient linguini instead of worms.
Blessed be His noodly appendages.
The kings are back in town
Well then, we know the location of 6/7 Demiurges plus Allison and her crew. That leaves Incubus, Meti, and Zozz as major players we don’t know the location of. Unless Metatron, Michael, and/or Himself count. I wonder who will show up next.
Michael is definitely a major player, he’s got a host of angels that are going to be coming at some point to cause some ruin. I expect Metatron and Himself are just stuck where they are for the most part, and didn’t we get told that Zoss’ most recent appearance was his last?
I thought it was 2nd to last?
One per book.
… or maybe I’ve remembered wrong.
*goes and checks*
Zoss says “This is my final Revelation”, but DOESN’T say “This is the last time you’ll see me.
Still… given what he says about Princes and Heroes, I can’t really imagine the old gezzer showing up and having any particularly strong influence on the story. At the very least, I’m not expecting him to get involved in the fighting.
At most I’d expect him to properly die to allow an end to the old and make room for the new, possibly by taking a hit for someone, acting as a distraction, or blowing up to take out some other piece of stagnation.
Crap! I meant Maya! Not Meti. Why do I get their names mixed up?
Are we gonna get a Jagganoth splash page where we finally find out which word of royalty he has?
I’m guessing it’s going to involve him killing one of the other demiurges – my first guess was Solomon, but now that they’re all here, it might be one of the others.
A Jaggy splash page wi him splashin around in all the blood liberated by the word Blade.
Nah he’s 100% Mind. Blade is too obvious.
Mind not Jadis’, no? He do seem an obvious kinda Jaggy-see-Jaggy-do kinda guy, certainly superficially. But subvert the stereotype of big galoot, and who knows…
The contrast between their petty dialogue and their dynamic “shit just got real” poses is fantastic. And I guess thematic.
Gog-Agog is still best girl.
