Not ALL but AL. In Arabic, that prefix is no mere quantifier, but instead a definite article. Allison is not ALL-GOD she is THE GOD.
Incidentally, since Al-YisUn is her true name and YisUn is synonymous with I, her true name is “The I” which puts her on the level of Himself with regards to name-power.
I have always felt a great deal of contempt towards Mammon that I do not harbor against the other demiurges. Anyone who buys their glory has no glory at all.
That’s fair. But I tend to see it more as… power is power.
Consider what he must have offered in exchange. What would convince someone – by carrot or stick – to willingly /relinquish/ a Key of Kings. The skill necessary to line up the deal so that it would cut through the other party’s resistance.
It wasn’t with a sword, but he still took his weapon and SLICED
You don’t suppose that all of Allison’s crew will find themselves to be foils, of one sort or another, to a corresponding member of the quirky miniboss squad that is the Demiurges, do you?
No, I don’t. Not unless Allison keeps picking up more people along the way, as it’s only four of them against seven of the Demiurges right now. For that to be feasible, the crew would need to grow by at least two members (allowing Allison herself to act as foil for one of the Demiurges)
How does one purchase a key? What could hold value greater than 1/7th of the entire multiverse? (Some theories come to mind.)
For those holding contempt against Mammon for buying his godhood: How do we know that Mythopoeia doesn’t demand a merchant god? Perhaps it is a cosmic position to be filled. Perhaps that particular key compels itself to be sold should the price be right.
Do the other six have equally varying ways that they came to hold their keys? We know Mottom attained hers by secretly killing her husband…
Remember that there are many more keys than those of the seven, and for each there was a demiurge who created it. It’s entirely possible that the bearer of a key foresaw the reign of madness to come and thought it wise to sell their stake in it and hide themselves in some quiet, unconquered world.
It was related to me that satisfaction is the first chasm over which the road of power runs. Yet all men must eat. Your appetite is the bridge, and must extend until it is wider than satiety.
I have read a few of the articles on your website now, and I really like your style of blogging. I added it to my favorites blog site list and will be checking back soon. Please check out my site as well and let me know what you think.
Hmmmm, I cant help but wonder what kind of Angel must be chained there to have been so powerful that they had to be stabbed and encased in such a chained sarcophagus…
I also wonder what those needles are made out of, perhaps the essence of angels themselves? Perhaps the spikes K/Zoss himself forged into them upon their creation & new shell’s creations.
That bottom panel, though…
Allison is the only one sitting in a chair.
Destiny is a persistent suitor.
Ya mean “ALL-YIS-UN” Right?
Naw.

You mean Alice-UN, right?
someday someone’s going to be very confused by us all butchering her name.
What makes a throne a throne?
The seat, or the seated?
Does either matter, when all others sit below?
Way of the multiverse, I guess: even in a world ruled by demigods, the financial industry still finds a way to buy their way to the top.
The gods may have conquered life and death itself but even they cannot escape the power of the Coin.

You shut your thirty-seven beaks and shut them good.

Not all glory is found in smashing in stealing.
There is room for persuasion and trading.
At the least, it will keep you from my goblet, a little longer.

The legend tells of Seven Sins
and a black emperor for each.
Seven virtues might be hard to assign.
Lol Whit Chain. Love that last panel.
Her husband was pretty hot before being turned into a giant cat…
Still kind of sad AL-YISUN didn’t obliterate Mother Om in this telling. Perhaps the Lord of Ledger will not fail to test the successor.
I love how her hair forms a cape!
Backstory as in lore or backstory as in Big Cio’s butt on the last page
So, questions…
How does one purchase a key? What could hold value greater than 1/7th of the entire multiverse? (Some theories come to mind.)
For those holding contempt against Mammon for buying his godhood: How do we know that Mythopoeia doesn’t demand a merchant god? Perhaps it is a cosmic position to be filled. Perhaps that particular key compels itself to be sold should the price be right.
Do the other six have equally varying ways that they came to hold their keys? We know Mottom attained hers by secretly killing her husband…
A key is one 777,777th of the universe.
Allison’s key being the exception and special.
Remember that there are many more keys than those of the seven, and for each there was a demiurge who created it. It’s entirely possible that the bearer of a key foresaw the reign of madness to come and thought it wise to sell their stake in it and hide themselves in some quiet, unconquered world.
Interesting theory… Perhaps we shall see.
Maybe he bought it before the war. That’s my theory anyways.
Guess she got a little big for her britches.
Also, she used to own slaves.
Well she is a demon and she was working in a brothel/slave market when we met her. What did you expect?
Guess she got a little too big for her britches.
Also, she used to own slaves.
Hey you changed the favicon.
I was going to ask about that
Eightfold first I thought I saw…now Forge?!

One could say that Yabalchoath’s warrants are… outstanding.
May our ledgers become ocean! May our margins see Centauri!
I quite like Yabalchoath!
Overindulge! Regret nothing! Ask no forgiveness!
I quite like her taste in concubines. Tantalizingly androgynous.

Back then he wasn’t an Androsphinx I guess. Is it a mark of status?
why do I find her oddly attractive in this form
