We have a one-legged one-armed woman fighting a human spinning top.
She’s got limbs, they’re just telekinetic and/or spirit force based which suggests while her flesh rotted off her astral body is still intact, well, more intact than her fleshy bits. So I guess while Jaggy nailed her on one plane of existence the other was more or less a “Flesh wound.”
makes me think that maybe Jadis’ prosthetics were purely cosmetic and Alison was doing this all along.
I am making $100 an hour working from home. I never imagined that it was honest to goodness yet my closest companion is earning $16,000 a month by working on a laptop, that was truly astounding for me, she prescribed for me to attempt it simply. Everybody must try this job now by just using this website.. www.Moneypay6.com
I’m making $150 an hour replying to babbling asshats, ask me how!
(yes I know it’s useless, but I couldn’t help myself)
I am making $0 an hour reading webcomics instead of working. Thinking of whoring myself out to the rats & bugs instead of participating in the free market tho
The prosthetics were material objects that work on whatever magic-science powers them.
The spiritual arm and leg Allison has here are definitely linked to her manifesting her will through her key. She didn’t have an arm or a leg to support herself with previously simply because she did not think to have them, I believe.
a barista versus a noodle vendor’s daughter
A battle for the ages.
SERVICE WARS
Oh yeah. It’s all coming together.
The noodle vending arts would win, except that baristas have baked goods now …
Excuse me, do noodle vendors carry caffeine?
Your argument is invalid.
“Her name was Draws 10 bars through your sinuses”
LOVE the detailing around the rain falling on the physically-missing-but-metaphysically-not-so-missing arm and leg. It’s both great art/design wise AND conveys so much in one panel.
Wow thanks for mentioning that! I wouldn’t have caught it.
It looks like baby’s building a tower into space…
space is where he’s gonna find his dad!
Daddy’s got an arm
And Baby’s gonna harm his arm by tearing it off his dad.
She’s also standing in a way that would be imbalanced if the ‘missing’ leg weren’t holding her up.
GODDAMMIT
She said the wrong thing.
Basically exactly what I said after that last panel lmao
Alice’s ability to say the exact wrong thing to her opponent is one of her few abilities that’s remained unchanged throughout this story.
Even a queen of the multiverse, she will STILL be the sort of person who goes “you and what army?”
Almost fit to be the Famous Last Words.
her superpower is the ability to repeatedly deliver famous last words without them being her last
Damn.
She really chose the wrong role then. Would’ve made one hell of an Antagonist!
Oh yeah, as soon as I read that, I thought “Uh oh.”
I mean, she is literally asking for it.
Some serious slicing in store…
man I adore this comic.
Incubus beat Maya even after being decapitated?
Guess he just couldn’t keep his head on straight
“So no head?”
*THRASH*
It didn’t stop The Risen King
I guess if blood alchemy lets you regenerate your body from a head, it synergizes very well with Head of John. Maybe Incubus is the tutorial Unkillable Man before his boss the Very Very Unkillable Man.
She decapitated Jagganoth, the ally of Incubus, no? What am I missing?
Jagganoth is currently held in stasis by Solomon David, she decapitated Incubus, Ally of Jagganoth.
Interestingly that probably means he won the fight but spared her life.
Maya in the last panel. “Thems be fightin’ words”
You done goofed up, you done goofed up now.
Maya: “And I took that personally.”
Please, auntie Maya! Please don’t cut anything else off of her! Or at lease leave the naughty bits…
fucking gross dude
That’s a pretty unhealthy and self destructive thought process, be better than that dude. It’s not that hard.
“Beware the swordsman who carries no blade.”
Little did we realize that wasn’t a proverb, it was literally just advice to stay the hell away from this one scary lady.
A good proverb has multiple meanings.
awesome. awesome. awesome.
Maya: “Now, I must break you.”
Sword-of-Maybe vs. Ghost-Limb…
Is this just the fight between things that don’t really exist? A faux-fight, if you will?
The Self is the greatest of illusions.
Aer you sure? I keep touching myself and I think I feel pretty solid 😛
Stop touching yourself, you’ll go blind.
When all is illusory, existence becomes axiomatic.
Kill the great enemy called I.
“When all is illusory, existence becomes axiomatic.”
I’ll squirrel that one away.
Little did Alison know; the only way to cut off a limb that isn’t there is with a sword that isn’t there.
Considering they’ve both been contender to Royalty, is it fair to say they were kings faux fighting?
I’m not even sure I understand what “ROYALTY” is that this point, so I don’t feel qualified to answer that question.
*SLOW CLAP* Well done.
I GET IT
Well, they’re going to be fast as lightning, for sure.
And in fact, more than a little bit frightening
Everyone was king faux fighting 🎶
Those kicks were fast as lightning 🎶
In fact, it was a little bit frightening 🎶
But they fought with expert timing 🎶
Afterwards, maybe someone will take them to fauxnkytown.
EVERYBODY WAS KUNG FAUX FIGHTING HHUU
Bro amputation isn’t even real bro you’re not really missing a limb just focus your energy and *will* the leg into existence bro just stand up it’s literally that easy
she has magic powers 101.
The intense conversation during an even more intense bout-as-conversation is my favorite story trope. This is just so epic.
Phantom limbs that are actually functional. That’s kickass.
“John Dies at the End” by David Wong already did that. And I emphaticaly mean the novel – though the movie has this scene as well, the film’s just altogether not as mind-smiting as the book.
Gil “the arm” Hamilton stories by Larry Niven does it in a scifi setting, first published back in 1968 (Death by Ecstasy (1968))
He gets the arm replaced, but kept the “telekinetic” arm as well.
A very fun series.
Niven is the best. Gil’s ghost arm was barely strong enough to raise a shotglass, but could reach inside you and stop your heart. A not-too-super super power!
It may be that her missing eye can see things that others can’t. It may be that her missing arm can reach through walls. It may be that her missing foot can stand on illusions and walk on water.
It seems like the more of her body she loses the tougher she gets!
When isn’t Maya quite drunk ?
It’s the ultimate excuse. Just be drunk 100% of the time, then you can blame your failures on that. It works every time.
Sometimes she’s not quite drunk
When she’s fucking wreaked
ooh, nicely drawn, what’s not there
A good swordswoman knows how to user her head. Usually as a blunt object but this works too.
Watchmojo top 10 images captured seconds before disaster
I think Maya just referenced the Head of John technique (I think that’s what it was called)
Yes, both of them clearly use the Head of John technique, since Allison smashed a hole in solid stone with her head and Maya has dragged hers across the floor with no damage.
I think Alison is just invincible enough that stone shatters before before her face does, thanks to a combination of key power, angelic training, and just being stubborn. See the first few fights in King of Swords, where Alison breaks a knife by being stabbed in the eye with it, and a stone wall by having her head slammed into it. Alison involuntarily breaking stone with her face is practically a part of this comic’s visual language by now.
From the KSBD wiki: “An internal style focused on hardening the self. After many years of preparation and training, practitioners ram three metal studs into their skull, piercing the bone and blocking the flow of Atum at precise meridians.”
Due to the lack of head studs, I find it hard to believe that either is using true Head of John techniques.
if beginnings were not false, this would be the beginning of Alison’s journey
The real dark souls starts here.
Hold on, skeleton!
Maya switching from drunken boxing to defending from Shaolin iron body’s headstands with a side mention of Incubus’ Head of John.
And back to Maya showing what Allison the stuff that Juggernaut Star also mistook.
Even the silly parts are wrapped up in seven layers of badassery.
Ghost limbs ghost limbs!
Very important question: Did she run out of wine?
The wine looks like it ran out all by itself!
No se nota, pero el vino se agota
Pasa cuando sucede
Maya is hands down my favourite character. She’s all I ever wanted in a comic.
MISTAKE.
You taunted her.
This won’t end well.
