Oh, not a good approach by Incubus here… throwing her insecurities in her face, followed by trying to drag her along in his wake. My guess is Master Key smackdown in 5…4…3… Followed by AL-YS-UN waking up and getting a quick lesson in mind-shielding from her companions.
The Xena: Warrior Princess and Labyrinth crossover we always wanted!! And of course Incubus is (partially) correct… she is the Babe with the Power, after all.
I would like to think that (in-world) the role and character of Jareth in Labyrinth hasn’t inspired Incubus, here; rather, that Incubus was, himself, the inspiration for Jareth and the story of Labyrinth.
I’m not sure if Incubus is trying to be honest or manipulative right now, but in either case he seems wrong to me. I mean, I’m sure Allison would love to be powerful to overcome the obstacles between herself and Zaid, but I don’t think that would solve her self loathing problems.
I very much approve of what is presumably AL-YIS-UN’s roleplaying character. Quite a…violent looking elven barbarian. Not enough skulls on her armour, though.
It is not a summit to be crested. The summit turns its seeker away. Rather it is a pit onto the walls of which you cling. You may turn, following the paths to dreams and goals along the sides, but always these paths curve inexorably down towards the answer. The bottom of the pit. Power.
In which Incubus helps Allison overcome her fears and anxieties by telling her to literally chop them to pieces. Juggernaut 6 Star could certainly use this kind of therapy.
I wonder if Incubus’ thing is to specifically reach the minds of all those who bear a key. Certainly would explain why the other Demiurges don’t like him. I hope that we’ll get to see Incubus casually comment on the rest of the Seven’s psychological states at some point.
All I’m saying is… we’ve not actually seen Himself. There’s nothing to prove it’s not Bowie.
Before someone comments that 13 Ebon Devils guard himself to prevent his escape from his nail studded coffin and the timelines don’t match up, I’ll simply point out that Bowie was a known Chameleon.
What a riot!
Behold Incubus! The Thin White Duke!
Wow, makes u wonder if we all have hellscapes like that in ourselves.
And gotta love the Xena vs Labyrinth theme in the last panel 🙂

oh my god
I very rarely laugh out loud reading webcomics, but that last panel caught me completely off-guard.
IT’S BEAUTIFUL. <3
I know, right?! 😀
chances that the powerful alison costume is drawn straight from cio’s fanfic? i would say they were high.
Okay, are there, like, any people in charge who AREN’T fed up with the current state of affairs?
Given the current state of affairs? Probably not.
That doesn’t mean any of them actually recognize what improving it would entail or would be willing to go that route. See: Mother Om.
Probably Solomon David. He seems like the sort of person who would be perpetually pleased with himself and the world surrounding him.
As though a man like Solomon David could be satisfied with a situation where a whole 6 people can call themselves his equal.
Needs more codpiece.
Hmm. Power in the form of a warrior King? Hmm. Xena much?
Nice Xena Warrior Princess reference. Even the Incubus looks like her companion
Called it.

There is no more reliable method of manipulation than a half-truth.
It is so much harder to disprove, if your victim urns out to be a fact checker.
Incubus may be projecting his own need for power. But he doesn’t seem the power hungry sort. What drives him? Curiosity? Esthetic? Novelty?
Ali’s idea of power is an anime elf in looted orc gear. Got it.
*slow clap*
Beautiful.

I always thought that the IDEAL ruler over my seventh of the multiverse ought to have nipple piercings and cosplay the Goblin King.
Brilliant homage to a great goblin king! my inner glam rock god thanks you.

The pit is bottomless.

As the world falls down…
Bowie didn’t die, he had business to attend to on Throne.
Called away to preside over the courts of devils and angels, no doubt…

So, Labyrinth/Inside Out crossover. Huh.
