You joke, but I legitimately wondered how the perspective was going to be handled for the endless rows of arms the moment I saw Jaggy in his Chakravantin aspect. It definitely looked like a design that could only look cool from the front, and I’m glad Abaddon grappled with the side view to make it look convincing from all angles.
That could have been another cool interpretation of it. It would have been interesting for viewpoints from the top and behind in addition to from the sides.
I assumed Jagganoth was simply 5 dimensional, and that the endless rows of arms represented a well of power of infinite depth, or an infinite number of alternate universes all intersecting at this one point.
Our Pal Gog-Agog has hit 88 mph! The Serious Shit may now commence.
I’m assuming that this delay was twofold. First, it takes time to assemble a few planet’s worth of biomass into a pan-dimensional eldritch combat form with the combined brain-mass of several billion people combined.
On seventy seven worlds 539 billion gog-agogs froze mid-jape, and consumed themselves.
A river of worms that were gog-agog flowed across the landscape that was gog-agog into the sea that was gog-agog, and the landscape followed after, and the sea ate the worms and drank itself.
And the land that was gog-agog became flesh, and the sea that was gog-agog became blood.
And Gog-agog rose as said “Oooh, I’ve never eaten one of *those* before!”
but worms technically don’t have fingers?
Its only because Gog-Agog is all smooshed together in a humanoid semblance? but its still worms all the way down.
no fingers to hold a blade to cut the spirit or the stone
…Keeping in mind that Gog seems to share her key between ALL of her bodies, that she can consume humans to make more of herself, that she owns 111,111 universes, and a key allows one to teleport anywhere one wants from anywhere…
We could be about to see a lotta worms.
Nature often shows us the most efficient way of doing things and some people find beauty in efficiency. The Beast’s performance will likely not be pretty, but it could prove to be very efficient. For a time at least.
Do we know if she has been there for all Kalpas or just this one? After all Jagganoth said that this cycle is strange for many reasons, not just the situation of the heir.
Gog Agog is technically not even an inheritor so maybe Keys-of-Kings and half-individuals have a funny synergy that makes for interesting results
My hypothesis, going by Jagganoth’s comments in earlier panels, is that the six never got the chance to complete their pact in previous incarnations. This fight has played out countless times, but Jagg refers to the heir as being the one who traditionally takes the other six down… It’s also suggested that this time, the fight has started sooner than it would have otherwise.
If Zoss’s “true” heir typically mantles the key, and becomes all-powerful and defeats everyone, earning the right to sit on the throne of heaven… maybe the difference this time around is that Alison hasn’t. She realized that she needed to stop being the center of attention and to rely on Cio, and something amazing happened. She let White Chain fight her own battle, and something amazing happened.
Now we have Aspected Chaos, a unique element in the fight, injecting a glimmering spectral something into the binding. Perhaps leaving it open long enough for all six of them to get on the same page? Or at least the same page when it comes to stopping Jagganoth?
…Or maybe just leaving an opening for Gog to worm-ify Jagganoth into herself. I mean, she must have gotten that key of hers *somehow*…
I for one, am ever glad the dread Queen of Escalation, Bringer and Breaker of The Golden Dawn, does not reside near this encounter, though it does make me weep at how I will go unknowing of what wonderous horrors she would achieve…
I read “escalate as “ejaculate” at first. And the second time.
It’s not as weird as you might think. Let me make a prediction. Gog-Agog starts gathering her mass from around the 37,000 universes that are her. When she reaches some critical point, like maybe the size of a galaxy, weird things should start to happen. You know there are galaxies that somehow eject continuous streams of plasma and stuff hotter than the center of stars from their middle that can reach dozens of millions of light years over hundreds of thousands of years?
Nobody knows how that’s possible. Get enough mass together and it becomes sovereign from the laws of nature. Gog-Agog could do that, on top of the demiurgic power we have yet to see her use. Might surprise Juggs.
Yeah, I’m really waiting for the implications of ‘thousands of universes are LITERALLY NOTHING BUT GOG-AGOG’ and what it really means when she goes to war.
I’m looking for battle-galaxies of flesh and acretion disks of worms. WAY over the top gonzo shit. A worthy foe for the Wheel Turning King.

We call it the divine centipede.
And I don’t want to be near the front, middle, nor end of it.
Wouldn’t millimanes be more accurate?
Nice etymology.
Wow. What a bunch of nerds.
I feel right at home. ❤❤❤
I’d go with Hecatonchiros, personally
…huh not sure how I didn’t think of that myself.
I assumed the other versions would always appear behind him from each person’s perspective. Infinity conga line was not something I accounted for.

This version will do just fine, tho.
My first thought on seeing Jaggsy here was ‘Dammit, I thought I was over that brown acid’
One is forced to consider the headway they could make if Gogagog felt threatened in the least.
So it’s gonna be Gog to the Bindhole after all – the Jaggermeister is about to become the biggest clown you never wanted to see!
This is why people should be more considerate about what they put in each others’ bindholes.
GOG AGOG GOG AGOG GOG AGOG GOG AGOG
Don’t wear it out!
All Creation hangs in the balance and the Worm yet waffles.
Refreshing to see some semblance of normalcy in these trying times.
You don’t get to bear the word Beast by acting responsibly and with forethought, I guess.
She’s not all there, is she?
Of course not. The Best is everywhere.
Gog Agog: “It’s getting dangerously close to ‘Go time’.
Could this be the legendary “Go Time”? Show me!
There is no Go Time. Only Gog Time.
… You are God for that reference. My day has improved by at least 8% 🙂
No, it’s SHOW TIME!
*Summons Big O*
The worm is turning.
I certainly hope that Gog will ask Jagganoth to “read the pizzants”.
😎 worm time
WORM OFF THE STRING WORM OFF THE STRING WORM OFF THE STRING
WHAT CRIMES WILL SHE COMMIT

Solomon: NOT HELPING
Gog: Hey don’t blame me, you never included me in your binding ritual practices or anything!
Excited to see Gog betray everyone!
Gog Agog about to Hog Agog Wild
Legit question for rural Rayubans – How do I kill the 30-50 feral Gog Agogs that run into my yard within 3-5 minutes whilst my small kids play?
Fire. Lots and lots of fire.
Teach them to wield swords and let them kill each other
You’ll need to go hard or go wormy.
Man Catastrophically Owns Himself by Replacing Worms with Even More Worms
Not yet he hasn’t, but give it time.
really looking forward to seeing gog in action (womr time)
I’m hoping it becomes appropriate to start quoting Poe
It’s hero the conqueror worm? That’s… surprisingly appropriate.
Our Pal Gog-Agog has hit 88 mph! The Serious Shit may now commence.
I’m assuming that this delay was twofold. First, it takes time to assemble a few planet’s worth of biomass into a pan-dimensional eldritch combat form with the combined brain-mass of several billion people combined.
Second, she needed to get the cameras in place.
On seventy seven worlds 539 billion gog-agogs froze mid-jape, and consumed themselves.
A river of worms that were gog-agog flowed across the landscape that was gog-agog into the sea that was gog-agog, and the landscape followed after, and the sea ate the worms and drank itself.
And the land that was gog-agog became flesh, and the sea that was gog-agog became blood.
And Gog-agog rose as said “Oooh, I’ve never eaten one of *those* before!”
In other words, I’m hoping we get a vision of Gog-Agog assembling herself for war.
Oh yeah, that would be a suitably glorious vision indeed.
Show me the Jag-Agog!
Is this about as close as we’ll ever get to Solomon asking for help?
Hrmm… How many fingers does Gog-Agog have?
Answer: All of them!
Alternate Answer: As many as it needs!
Extra Alternate Answer: 5! …plus a dew claw??
Hrmm… Waiting for the worms to come…
but worms technically don’t have fingers?
Its only because Gog-Agog is all smooshed together in a humanoid semblance? but its still worms all the way down.
no fingers to hold a blade to cut the spirit or the stone
Just as well, that left hand looks a bit contorted with Gog picking her nose with her left little finger.
So, no fingers, no nose, just worms, but boogers are a universal constant. Or maybe not boogers, but worm poop.
So basically the whole “cast Jagg into the void” deal didn’t work because Gog didn’t actually help with it, that’s the implication right?

Welp
You can see the future i guess
This … will not be pretty.
Nature often shows us the most efficient way of doing things and some people find beauty in efficiency. The Beast’s performance will likely not be pretty, but it could prove to be very efficient. For a time at least.
“It reveals a fundamental truth of the universe that well executed violence is consistently beautiful.”
You are now reading this in the voice of David Attenborough.
Dunno about this. Gog Agog has been around every other time Jagganoth slew the demiurges and the universe reset and she couldn’t stop it, hasn’t she?
Was it couldn’t stop it, though?
Or was it didn’t want to stop it?
Perhaps Alison has altered the equation enough to make it interesting to Gog Agog to step in, this time.
Do we know if she has been there for all Kalpas or just this one? After all Jagganoth said that this cycle is strange for many reasons, not just the situation of the heir.
Gog Agog is technically not even an inheritor so maybe Keys-of-Kings and half-individuals have a funny synergy that makes for interesting results

If it’s anything like the “Worm” I know, shits about to escalate.
Oo, floating poo!
All hail the elevated excrement!
I for one, am ever glad the dread Queen of Escalation, Bringer and Breaker of The Golden Dawn, does not reside near this encounter, though it does make me weep at how I will go unknowing of what wonderous horrors she would achieve…
Gog-Agog makes Jagganoth cry about his dead wife before commiting sudoku.
He could do with a rest and a nice puzzle.
