I really gotta say Abaddon, you’ve made an amazing comic. Just with these recent pages Allison is becoming one of my favourite fictional characters. My compliments to the chef.
Now she’s down to one leg, can you work a “having to think of a false name and only being able to think of Eileen” joke into the dialogue sometime in the future?
If Allison could have gotten Jadis to go with her, I think she might have kept the prosthetics.
But since Jadis is still staring into the abyss even now, and will be doing so forever, she goes “Fuck you, I don’t want your shit, have fun being stunlocked for the rest of your life.”
When a dog is tied to a cart, if it wants to follow, it is pulled along, making its chosen act coincide with what is inevitable. But if the dog does not choose to follow, it will be compelled in any case; it will be dragged. So it is with mortals, too: even if they don’t choose to, they will be forced to follow what is destined.
Does anyone know… whhhhyyy Allison is ripping her limbs off here? Like I get that it’s symbolic of breaking free of Jadis’s philosphy, but on a practical level… why get rid of perfectly functional prosthetics.
Should she really trust anything that Jadis has provided? What if they just stopped working, or worked against her, at an inconvenient moment? She’d rather have nothing, or something she can trust.
I like how this conversation seems to be Yis vs. Un.
Jadis gets “all that is”. She’s standing in for Yis. But she doesn’t explore “all that is not”. Allison is exploring/creating what is not. She’s more Un. She’s following Aesma.
Major Berserk vibes coming off that final panel, well done.

Well Guts got his Casca back, so I wonder if Allisson will get her Cio back too.
god she’s shining so brightly
Huh.
That’s an Alucard!Abridged grin if I ever saw one.
The most important step a man can take. It’s not the first one, is it? It’s the next one. Always the next step.

Perfectly good super advanced prosthetic limbs that she could’ve used, yeeted violently off of her to prove a point
I wonder what the new ones look like
Incubus: Suffering is irrelevant! Stop worrying about hurting people, or yourself! All that matters is *winning.*
Mottom: Suffering is bad. I will make sure it never happens to *me* again.
Gog-Agog: Suffering is bad, but lol I don’t suffer. Why not be me instead?
Mammon: Suffering is bad, and like all bad things it’s for POOR PEOPLE.
Solomon: Suffering is bad. Therefore, I shall protect my people from it.
Jagganoth: Suffering is bad, universal, and inevitable. This universe is therefore unacceptable, and I will destroy reality.
Jadis: Suffering is bad, and inevitable. All actions result in suffering, inaction is the only moral choice.
The Rising King: It may be bad, but this Suffering is *mine.*
Very good.
Magnificent piece of analysis!

Everyone is talking about the leg, but not about Jadis, who will never be able to move on. No wonder she wants to die.
And yet probably never really will, because she exists across time. Even if she eventually dies, she’s still here, in the past.
In a way, she died when she first observed the wheel.

Well, maybe not one foot in front of the other.
It should be noted that generally, one cannot put one foot in front of the other with only one foot.
Wow, this is very tantric. Like big and stupid vajrayana tantric. Charnel ground is the pure land, hehe.
Gonna be hard to put one foot in front of the other when you only have one foot
In the face of absurdity, defiance is not much of a foundation, but sometimes it’s the only foundation you have.
Sisyphus.
Sisyphus, indeed!
Scary Face Allison
Awakens with a Vengeance !
Ali, if you can make a plum,
can’st tha make some limbs too ?
Go Boggle-brains !
A real ”face god and walk backwards into hell” moment.
Yeah I really don’t get why she’s ripping off her prosthetic limbs here.
This is such a great juxtaposition of philosophies: two opposing end points to the same question.
I hope Jadis can free herself too one day.
“it will carry me out of here one foot in front of the other” hmmm…. Allison is that the phrasing you want to use on this page here….
Maaaan, my brain always goes cross-eyed when we get too deep into eternity and infinity.
I wanna say Jadis broke when she perceived everything but I know that’s too superficial a take for what’s happening
