Kill Six Billion Demons IV: King of Swords (part fourteen)
The guest accommodations at Solomon's palace aren't what you might hope, but they are exactly what you'd expect given the circumstances.
Kill Six Billion Demons IV: King of Swords (part thirteen)
It stopped being an urgent mission that required immediate violent action and started being futile and not worth caring about as soon as someone saw her in girlmode. Of course.
Kill Six Billion Demons IV: King of Swords (part twelve)
she really, really needs someone other than White Chain to call her on her bullshit.
Kill Six Billion Demons IV: King of Swords (part eleven)
Even moreso than before, I feel like Killy just needs another person to call her on her bullshit. White Chain is almost uniquely unqualified to do this.
Brainworms (K6BD, CM, and Spectacle
The only one who can be said to be *in charge* is the symbolism itself. And it's not even real.
Kill Six Billion Demons IV: King of Swords (part ten)
"A rogue demiurge is going to try and rescue Zaid, so take him away from my presence and throw him in the drunk tank?"
Really? Really?
Kill Six Billion Demons IV: “King of Swords” (part nine)
One of them is outsmarting the other's outsmarting, I just don't know which.
Kill Six Billion Demons IV: King of Swords (part eight)
Between this and the backstory about Meti and her disciples, this book really is taking a critical look at teachers in general. Which I guess is fitting for the general ethos of K6BD but damn, it's just going really, really hard on this.
Kill Six Billion Demons IV: King of Swords (part seven)
If Solomon David is the least bad of the Black Seven to live under, I think we just found out who the worst is. In fact...there might not be anyone living under Gog-Agog's rule at all.
Kill Six Billion Demons IV: King of Swords (part six)
Very sombre, pessimistic, and misanthropic interlude.
Agents of Atlas #1: “The Golden History” (continued)
Overall? I had a little bit of fun reading it, and I learned some interesting comics esoterica while researching it, but I don't think I'd call it "good."
Agents of Atlas #1 “The Golden History”
"What if Captain America and Human Torch were left fallow, Spiderman and the Avengers never happened, and instead we had relaunched our cape comics using a superteam of good old Venus, Marvel Boy, Namora, Gorillaman, the Human Robot, and Jimmy Woo?"
Who the fuck even are any of the characters I just listed there? I have no idea. And, that's pretty much the entire point of Agents of Atlas.
Kill Six Billion Demons IV: “King of Swords” (part five)
At a certain point you'd think they'd stop even bothering to invite her.
Usagi Yojimbo #9: "Homecoming Part Two"
This wasn't a bad story, but it could have been a lot better than it is.
Usagi Yojimbo #9: "Homecoming Part One"
Can Usagi jump unusually high or change directions mid-step because of his rabbit legs? Can Tamoe see in the dark? Will we ever see Lord Hebi poison someone with his bite?
Kill Six Billion Demons IV: “King of Swords” (part four)
Okay seriously why aren't Killy and her friends making getting him out of her dreams their top priority?
Chainsaw Man #13: "Gun Devil"
I'm not sure if I can rightly call Chainsaw Man a great work of literature, but I can confidently call it an endlessly entertaining one, and quite a bit smarter than it looks.
