Absolutely great facial expressions, fascinating talk and breathtaking landscapes, no doubt. Abbadon is astonishingly good, as always.
Yet I’m surprised not to see the single comment.
AESMA’S TITS.
Here they are, not so proverbial this time. And yes, it’s nice to see the gretest fool of gods to sanctify the Heir’s royal idiocy.
Oh My God
I love that Alison passing Maya’s test by not thinking at all is done in front of what’s almost definitely a statue of Aesma.
She’s doing humanity’s creator proud.
If royalty truly was never wrong we would not need guilltines and even an enlightened state does not give you the right to be an unrepentent ass.
Royalty is not ROYALTY. most that lay claim to the temporal kingships and monarchies of the world are the farthest thing from the true and eternal ROYALTY that is the province of YISUN.
…Has anyone thus far pointed out that Alison, maimed and dismembered, has just casually admitted to seeking a course of reckless, reflexive action without consideration of ultimate consequence…
While standing before Aesma?
Auntie Maya is pulling that face and burying a snicker, because our girl is about 9/10ths of the way to Royalty without realizing it.
Secret teethnique
Ah yes, death. I wonder when that will happen.
KSBD 2-34, she qsked the exact same question.
I love how she’s slurping noodles in that scene. Some things never change.
That DOOM panel reads rather “One Piece” to me in a fun way.
MAYBE? Don’t you dare do that! That’s the magic word and we promised no tricks!
Where’s Ciocie? She can’t be gone, right? …right?
I’m confident she’s coming back. Allison has a shard of her mask… she needs to find the rest.
Her head is empty. Her heart beats to truth.
Aye, a fine heir to sunder the wheel.
One who fears death, is a fool, who shall live a life of endless suffering, and die in fear.
One who thinks of death, is a fool, who thinks of an ending yet to come, denying the happiness of now, tomorrow and yesterday, simply because of something that occurs to everyone and everything.
One who thinks not, nor fears not death, is free. For that one lives in the now, and can enjoy the past, present and future in equal measure.
I love how this comic makes all of us introspective, and critical of the universe. It is the proper way to attempt to understand such a vast thing…. Even writ small, as this comic manages to do with ease.

And I have said this before?
She stands beneath the baleful gaze of Ys-Aesma and her expression hardly cracks. Incredible.
She doesn’t think about death? Even though she just spent like two years in deep depression caused, at least partly, by the death of Cio and the impending deaths of everybody else?
I think that was the lesson she learned while being there, she was thinking too much about it and could not come to a statisfying answer, something that can quell all this suffering. So she had to just go past, continue whithout dwelling anymore on this kind of stuff, exactly because she was there before and knows there is no way out.
Existential crisis? Completed it, mate.
Oh shit.. was that the infamous question? :O
I can’t tell you how much I love that Aesma statue. Not only because it’s her and I know it’s her without anyone telling me so, but it has the weird sphere-boobs that a lot of ancient statues/engravings of India’s architectre have.
I wonder who the serpent she’s wrestling with is?
I like it too.
I love how Maya tearing up is rendered.
Like, I’ve never seen it rendered like that in a comic before. The color change–blue-grey washing over her normal brown–is not something I’ve personally seen used before, but here it’s extremely effective.
I’ve always been a fan of how willing you are to draw women with “ugly” faces/”ugly” expressions. You give women the full spectrum of human emotions in your art, from happy to sad to enraged to conflicted.
A lot of art–even art drawn by women–doesn’t.
Such great art.
Such great art
AESMA’S TITS! What a wonderful conversation.
Once again we see the greatest of all wisdoms in action, the ability to simply speak what is true for you, without trying to dress it up fancy and thus obscure its meaning. To live well and see clearly, communicate directly and to the point.
The comment section is full of profound discussion as always. But I just want to say that your color use is always excellent, and the shifts in what two main colors you use in the scenes mean so much for the experience of the comic.
So is Aesma the ultimate source of the Maybe Sword technique? The texts under the last few pages (Aesma, then Galde, Ryam, Ryo, Meti, Maya) sure hints at it.
And of course that is a statue Aesma right there, isn’t it? Very symbolic.
