BREAKER OF INFINITIES 1-5
Chapter: 1
“Here is a useful fact: inside every man is his death, wearing him like a thinning skin. Eventually his death will hollow him out like an old glove and replace him. It is no shame to release a man’s death, but rather an honor. His death is a much more permanent shape than he will ever take in life.
Regard each death with respect, all you dead men. Otherwise you will forget yourselves.”
-Jantris, Storm-born
I don’t have much to say, I just think Incubus looks really cool in this strip.
giving this guy stuff sounds like the opposite of a good idea
I’m sure that someone has once told SD when very angry to slowly count from juan to ten before speaking out, but he’s so ticked off he skipped the other nine digits.
Oh no he’s hot.
Allison’s expression is like when she torched Hastet Om, so I don’t rate Jagganoth’s diplomatic chances.
The confirmed reveal that Jagganoth was Yaun (although it was heavily foreshadowed), does bring to mind a curious detail. Apart from Jadis’ whose backstory we know little of, we have:
1. Solomon who was a mere citizen soldier and lives in a humble house with his family.
2. Nadia, who was simply a beautiful woman from some distant world, selected all because of her hair color.
3. One very greedy boi, who was practically at the bottom of his clan’s social food chain, given his ideas ran anathema to theirs.
4. Literally nobody, straight out of the slums of the Yellow City.
5. Some village kid whose family got murdered and was taken up by Jantris.
6. Worms?! Literally a pile of worms.
My point is that so far, the Seven have proven to have started out as exceedingly ordinary people in the universe. They’re just… the guy next door. These people were just…Allisons, who managed to *be* close to a terrible power, whether it is a key in and of itself, or for Solomon, mastery of Ki Rata.
Yes, not one of them was among the original Demiurges who were part of Zoss’ ideal society. They’re all just ordinary schmucks who came along later, when the Great War was in full swing, and just kinda… took over after the real Demiurges were all dead. Solomon David talked about what happened at the Concordance of the Demiurges, but none of them was actually there, when that Concordance existed.
We don’t know that. Jadis may have been. She seems the most Demiurge-like.
I did not expect that to be a helmet. I thought he just looked like that.
I agree. Although a less monstrous appearance does not mean there is not a monster inside.
I thought so too. I was imagining how difficult it would be for him to eat corn on the cob.
I sure it will be a No. But will it be a little no or a big no?
Still terrified.
I wanna see this play out, but god damn am I scared.
Jagganoth actually looks a bit like Thanos in that last panel. Or am I imagining things?
Now, here’s a question mark for you.
Jadis has seen everything, and wishes for everything to end because there is nothing other than the end that she hasn’t seen.
What if…Jagganoth is what Allison could have become, but has broken the laws of everything because Jagganoth has broken time? Jumping from the end of this cycle-that Zoss and other have created, over and over and over and over and over again-to somewhere in the middle to try and fix things? Or perhaps skipped out of a previous cycle of the universe to land in the middle of this one?
They share quite a few of the same scars.
Allison and Jagganoth both have the same mechanical right arm that Zoss has-Jagganoth now, Allison presumably at the end of this arc.
They both want to fix the broken things that exist.
So, is Jagganoth a “failed” Allison that Zoss discarded at the end and he knows this? Which is why he’s asking for Allison’s help and strength?
Interesting thoughts there. He certainly does have an air of failure about him.
I wonder if that’s actually a mechanical arm… on the splash cover where Alison is wearing whatever that is, Jaggy is shown with two bare arms. Also she has a curiously oversized coat thrown over her shoulders, but that’s another matter…
Otherwise, yes, there’s long been a curious physical overlap with Alison and Dreamguy, and now somewhat with Jaggy. Overlapping cycles with different variations being played by Zoss is an intriguing notion…
Allison has already been the core of a devilskin warrior. Perhaps she’s going to upgrade to a godskin warrior?
Who’s everyone’s bet for first demiurge to fall? My quid’s on The Grand Dragon…
Seems likely, as we have the least invested in him. Still, as suggested above, Incubus might backstab someone as the opening move.
SAVE MY PAL GOG AGOG!
Uh… no.
We’re seeing the same thing we’ve seen with the other’s so far, a tired god trapped by the decisions of a Millenia. I came expecting to an extent a epic battle again, instead what we got is a tired god asking for help… AGAIN. This is a pattern it’s the story being told. This should have been obvious and now seen makes sense, he’s no different to the others just the bars of his prison are different.
Abigail is observant.
Yes, in that sense they have similar situations, but only Jagger wants to kill EVERYTHING.
the comment section <3
Oh shit now I’m hearing Jagganoth’s voice like JFK’s from Clone High.
I err uh, have need of ya powah!
If these idiots want to want, Alison should let them. She can do more good rescuing people
We feel like that’s a really polite way to say, “Get over here and FIGHT ME.”
Looking forward to seeing if Jagganoth’s next words are “No, not like that.”
The only proper reply – Allison: “No. You give ME YOUR strength, and you may live or die as you choose.”
So Jaggy pitches woo at Allison, and to seal the deal takes off his helmet. Hey, with a face like that, how can she refuse?
True! He even has pointy little fangs like Cio. And she can relate to his scars…
On a completely incidental note: After listening to “My Trains” by Lemon Demon a few times, I am 100% convinced that Gog Agog collects and plays with toy trains. And with actual trains as if they were giant toys.
Jagger says to Allison: You are the crux of this matter.
Does anybody remember that Zed even exists? I guess he really did turn out to be the Rising Doofus.
So is Jagganoth’s real name Yaun ten Jantris?
