Dude – haven’t you played Sim City? You’re supposed to put all the industrial zones and power plants on the EDGE of the map so some of the pollution goes to neighboring cities!That island in the middle could have been a prime spot for an Arcology! ;-p
What has happened to that guard’s eye? What does he wear upon his face that glistens so? Does he feel righteous pride in his task, his largely useless task of guarding one of the few individuals in the multiverse to not really need it?
A Smugness to Split the Heavens.
A Smugness to Drink the Blood of the Cosmos.
A Smugness to Spit in the Eye of God.
The Arrival of the Smug-ening King.
I like how the “Colosseum” is separated from the rest of the city by a long bridge, and the contrast between the bright skies and the dark dust cloud. It’s like he’s deliberately keeping the “ugly” bits separate from the rest.
Solomon David’s laws are a lie to justify his sense of self-righteousness. The delusion is that the laws create the world he wishes to bring, but all that governs him is vanity, pride, and a callous disregard for others. He would wear a hair-shirt to project humility, and even convince himself he was indeed humble, but one cannot but note his hypocritical desire to expunge that which does not fit neatly into the laws he claims protect order. I’m thinking that that island is where undesirables live and labor and die in service to his vision. Perhaps its both a Colosseum and a slum and a monument all in one grotesque edifice.
Judging by the lighting in the first panel, either this world has two suns or it has a single massive one that subtends an angle of like thirty degrees in the sky.
All these other statements of the suprising yet appropriate nature of this page are true, and good, and I agree with them. Consider, however: Tee hee, purple statuesque man ruling a seaside city carved from marble, time for vaporwave.
“It is not the pleasure of the King that this place should remain so
bad. His laborers also have, by the direction of His Majesty’s
surveyors, been for about these sixteen hundred years employed about
this patch of ground, if perhaps it might have been mended; yea, and to
my knowledge,” said he, “here have been swallowed up at least twenty
thousand cart-loads, yea, millions, of wholesome teachings, that have at
all seasons been brought from all places of the King’s dominions (and
they that can tell say they are the best materials to make good ground
of the place), if so be it might have been mended; but it is the Slough
of Despond still, and so will be when they have done what they can.”
This comic is reminding me of Sans, tbh. This bridge, the glowing eyes from the last panel, Solomon’s challenge to his kids.
“It’s a beautiful day outside. Birds are singing… Flowers are blooming… On days like these… Kids like you… should be burning in hell.”
In all seriousness, nice job with those reflections on the ground.
I didn’t even notice. How do you even do that?
So blue skies do exist in this multiverse…

Nice Tower of Babel you have there… would be a shame if something were to happen to it.
And that explains his good, millennial health: sunny days, clean air, sea breeze. A comfortable house. Friends. A nice view.
The size of the palace is almost as large as his hubris.

So any reason for the white background? Throwing me off a bit, what with the white borders as well. There must be some reason!
Is it foolish that I fear the idyllic portion of his realm more than obvious industrial hellscape?

Looks like Santorini
Fourth panel: Making you think there are peaceful places in the multiverse.
Last panel: You can hear YISUN smiling from halfway across Throne.
Damnnnnn, now i kinda want to go on a vacation haha
While many men find a hill to die on, the truly dedicated first build that hill themselves.

But, without small lies like that it doesn’t allow the bigger lies to exist. Autonomy being the biggest one- after all; it is fated as such~!

Architecture by Albert Speer!
All stone too, none of those modern materials!
Is the sunlight coming from BOTH sides of the walkway? Does that mean there’s more than one sun?
It seems Solomon’s urban planning is going in his favor. I mean why wouldn’t it. it such a fine day.
WE WUZ WAKANDA N SHIET

That construction looks like a colosseum.
Where the Circle of Strength will be held.
Allison will participate as a SECRET MASkED FIGHTER.
And Abaddon will reveal his deadly secret: that K6BD has been a Shonen Fighting Manga THE WHOLE TIME.
What an odd thing, to be the soldier and guard of a conquering god-king.
