Behold the fifth panel! Gaze upon the visage of a man 10000% done with his colleagues bullshit! Truly the bitchface of a God-Emperor is a powerful thing.
I am not sure it is possible to be a lesser man than I am now. My elevator is incapable of reaching the top floor of its spire. If my life continues in its current manner, then I may never see luxury again. All I can do is pray to Mammon that one day fortune may find me. After all, Lord Mammon is an inspiration to all who aspire to wealth. He clawed His way to the top without mercy or hesitation. I can only hope to follow His example.
Which is why Mammon’s glorious backstory is far superior to the purple usurper’s pithy origin! So what, he knows how to breathe good and punch strong. He would make for ideal hired muscle, nothing more. The existence of purple guy and his empire is on borrowed time, which Mammon shall surely collect with interest!
It would seem that he’s not happy with peace negotiations. Maybe he only intervines if it threatens his new kingdom, afraid that he will lose whats left of it. The emperor is shackled to his throne by the past
From a certain perspective, beards are superior to head hair. Hair from the head has a habit of growing over the face and obscuring the eyes. Is it any wonder, then, that Solomon David cultivated beard instead of mane?
Justice may be blind, but for a king to govern, he must see clearly.
Mottom looking straight PISSED
Solomon David’s hands are friggin huge
With unlimited funds, I would rather cosplay Mammon.
With the Celestial Bank being blown open, now you can!
A Mammon plushie would sell like hotcakes.
Agreed.
Complete with howdah full of the little plushie corpses of his family!
His hands shrunk over the years, but alas, his ego did not.
Perspective tricky in this one.
Been waiting for the more sociable Emperors to hang again. I wonder how Solomon used to get along with Jadis, before she froze herself still.
Jaggs still the fav though.
Hi Grandpa Dragon!
I swear, the entire rest of this comic could be awful (which it isn’t) and I’d still tune in for Grandpa Mammon.
HEEEEEERE WE AAARE, BORN TO BE KINGS, WE’RE THE PRINCES OF THE U-NI-VERSE
Dammit, someone beat me to it.
He looks so tired

Zoss’ symbol is used in our world to mark a switch that turns power on and off. Highly symbolic.
I like that the symbol of the Witch in Glass is that of the Illuminati. Highly amusing, in my opinion.
This is called “The Eye of Providence”, or something like that. Those parvenu illuminati just plagiarised it, huh.

this one inquires on the text accompanying the scripture:
should not ‘though’ be ‘thought’?
many apologies and thanks for your consideration.
“Yet”? He never will win! Mammon shall forever reign triumphant! I mean, look at Him! He’s so much bigger!
Greetings once and future banker. A query if you’re not busy: If your elevator never reached the top floor would you be a lesser man for it?

As said before, I doubt the Grand Dragon himself and the High Caste would agree with you on the matter of backstories.
“Pity the Dragon! Venerate the count! Iä! Iä!”
One of my favorite lines from this series. I want a Gregorian chant-esque song for Mammon.
Good to see the old dragon looking lively once more
So the nature of princehood is destruction?
What a curiously familiar idea
It would seem that he’s not happy with peace negotiations. Maybe he only intervines if it threatens his new kingdom, afraid that he will lose whats left of it. The emperor is shackled to his throne by the past
And then he pulled his hair off, and stuck it on his chin. Because he’s Solomon David, and thats just how he rolls.

Justice may be blind, but for a king to govern, he must see clearly.
‘I rebuilt my home into an empire, to be surrounded by petulant warlords.’
A simple, yet telling, expression.
the tribulations of conquest are nothing compared to the tribulations of ruler-ship.
The lines graven in that red-draped bench to the lower right…
BEHOLD! ETCHED IN THE STONE ITSELF! THE HOLY MARKS OF JAGGANOTH’S BUTTOCKS!
Typo in the alt text: Though instead of thought
So he slew his entire order, but a monk of Ki-Rata is, canonically, living in Throne protecting the green space there.
Were there other orders of Ki-Rata monks then, or has that one just escaped Solomon David’s notice?
