We have Bugs Bunny to thank for that, believe it or not. He was calling Elmer (the guy trying to hunt him) Nimrod sarcastically, like how when someone does something really dumb you might say “Nice going, genius.” But people didn’t understand what Bugs was referencing, so they took it in context to mean stupid.
I am positive we’re are talking about the story of Maya indeed, who, from what KSBD has revealed so far, is the rightful candidate to the throne Incubus is occupying. At least Jagganoth knows this, and called Incubus on it.
Incubus mentions Maya indeed, but the story is about Solomon. Our Visitor’s right arm is naked in the picture and the skin tone matches only him out of the Seven.
Incubus is too canny to release potentially damaging details to a mark. Maya is a sore spot for him. Not one he would casualty parade before the world. Allison is not a romantic partner He has no need to make himself vulnerable before her.
Yes, the She reference is to Maya, quite likely (though it could also be Mottom), but the story is definitely about Solomon David. It makes a certain kind of sense as well, as Solomon put a second sun in the sky.
Ah, I think I know where Master Incubus got that saying about victory! Preem Lombardi put it this way: “Winning isn’t everything, it’s the only thing” and so sayeth one of the seven lords of the seven hundred, seventy seven thousand, seven hundred and seventy seven universes.
The student of Mathangi Ten Meti shares his onetime master’s puissance and weakness both.
Yes. To Cut is the sanctioned action. And the pursuit of the perfect swordsman is Victory.
But as she learned, when she surveyed the worlds she ruled, and the legions that destroyed in her name, and the jeweled throne that was hers through blood, and the idiot boy who was her disciple, the Great Enemy, who must be Severed, has never been found without.
Hansa did not seek Royalty. And so it came to him with exceptional ease.
Yemmod went down to Rayuba, he was looking for a city to steal
He wasn’t blind, he kicked behind and was waiting for the monks to squeal
When he came upon a three fist monk
Strummin on a krisith hot
And then Yammod jumped up on a sakith stump
And said, “monk, let me tell you now but I’m a krisith player too, and if you will we can chill and make a bet with you.”
Sadly that’s as far as I got before the idea said “Yeah, I’m going to have to stop you here. Peace, out.” and fled from the environs of my noggin.
If anyone else wants to edit or add to it, sounds good to me.
We haven’t heard of Yemmod before, so I’m guessing this story doesn’t end well for him. (Though I guess that applies to every demiurge except the Seven survivors of the Universal War.)
Hrmm… If you take the earring of the “Goblin King” out of the void, as a souvenir, does it cease to exist? Would make an interesting throwing-star to use against him in the future, maybe.
Storytime!
So far my previous comment was right! …in that Incubus is lying his ass off to everybody.
His beautifully sculpted ass…
Well, only in dreams. He’s a bit of a wreak in person.
A godly wreak, but a wreak all the same.
I do hope you meant to say “wreck”
Yemmod spelled backwards is Dommey, which sounds like dummy. Signs point toward foolishness from the King of Kings in this tale.
Nimrod was a mighty hunter before the LORD

Given his traditional associations with that Tower of Babel fiasco, it’s a fair, if not intentional usage.
Yeah, I was going to say: Dante’s Inferno predates Bugs Bunny by at least a few years…
Maya? Those dreds seem familiar
On the other hand, those dreads match the follicles of another of the demiurges…
Ho dang i missed that
I have heard of a certain Ki Rata grandmaster who became so strong he could grow beard on the top of his head
I am positive we’re are talking about the story of Maya indeed, who, from what KSBD has revealed so far, is the rightful candidate to the throne Incubus is occupying. At least Jagganoth knows this, and called Incubus on it.
It’s likely our other friend, Solomon David, Grandmaster of Ki Rata
Incubus said ”she, like you, was wrong”
MAYBE it was Maya, after all

Rubaya, of the standing stones
Rubaya, of the saintly homes
Rubaya, of the burned cities
Rubaya, of the scoured infinities
Birthplace of The Emperor
Birthplace of RUIN
Rubaya…
I appear to have misspelled Rayuba…
Rayuba, Birthplace of RUIN
I Read that as Rutabaga for a moment and was thoroughly Confused
Rayuba, Thamaica, oh I wanna take ya, to Merbuddah, JahHamma, come on pretty momma…
Ahhhhh, how a young Salami Dave came to learn the absolute art of Ki Rata, and was set on his demiurge-gotta catch them all- journey?

And in the words of Abbadon, called YISUN, he is exceedingly hard to shop for
I move that we begin to call Incubus “Incubus ten Maya.”
He would hate it, which is fine.
It’s a tribute to Abbadon’s skill that every page makes me want to punch Incubus more.
Nay, every panel.
Maya? 😀
Oh, shit, it’s time!
Time for
MOTHER
FUCKING
KI RATA
Why Incubus… what weird blood you have.
The better to burn you with, dear.
Its not about winning, it’s about cutting
I wonder if Solomon Davids homeworld is the same place as the world that is home to his palace
Hello Auntie Maya.
Or is it Uncle Solomon?
Curious.

Apologies to any reading this nonsense
No no. Keep going.

lol dem monks were like the Ents from LotR XD
KI RATA, the forerunner of Karate? Get ready for Reptiles and Samurai!
Blade upon the hip is loose

Aaah, reminds me of the stories we’d tell around the campfire between sieges. Always at the same time too
“Haha. Ouch. That’s what people say when they’re hurt, right?”
“Yemmod, Storm-Crowned, came to Rayuba” sounds like one of those “Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra” sayings.
Good story. Does not go great for Yemmod.
We haven’t heard of Yemmod before, so I’m guessing this story doesn’t end well for him. (Though I guess that applies to every demiurge except the Seven survivors of the Universal War.)
T’was Yemmod who razed Lam, the Blue City, in the holy description text of the Siege of Yre
Allison with her face half-hidden by her hair in the sixth panel reminded me of Maya in similar pose, and then I saw maybe-Maya in the last panel…
Hrmm… If you take the earring of the “Goblin King” out of the void, as a souvenir, does it cease to exist? Would make an interesting throwing-star to use against him in the future, maybe.
