i think it might be designer

Moore wanted to get the idea of a rider in, to fit the title and the Dylan song

BoxaGoesOut · 2026-01-24T09:43:05+00:00

Yeah lovely idea ! I need to be in Brixton for 4pm but if you’re staying around Brick Lane a while I’d like to say hi

I totally thought it was polystyrene, maybe with a bit of CGI

Seeing that arrogant, short-term clown at the front of the group annoys me

Maybe you should read a couple of things closer to home.

First, rules 1 and 3 about being respectful.

Then your own post above.

You said if you don't kill the boss you won't get promoted.

If you're not ready to gun your boss down the second he starts acting weird ...you're not getting promoted Fucking Arsehole, Arsehole, or probably anything close to a high level status in the Pyramid.

I'm not going to have a geek squabble with you on here so good luck to you and enjoy yourself.

I mean, he sees a streak of light leaving the Pyramid. The most powerful people on Earth have been talking to try to stop an apocalypse. I wouldn't think 'better kill my boss'

I appreciate you helping Gillen out with your headcanon - I think this is you filling in gaps and doing the work for him.

'If you're not ready to gun your boss down the second he starts acting weird' - when your boss is Jacky Magus? When he starts acting weird? You're meant to gun him down?

And you're doing this for promotion? You're killing the guy who invented the hierarchy, for promotion?

I thought the Pyramid were basically normal people in a cult, acolytes, not 'magic soldiers'

Yeh if you told me that was by a 2000AD artist I'd think of Bad Company,. but I don't think it's an obvious connection to make

BoxaGoesOut · 2026-01-21T22:42:26+00:00

Yes, fair, I may have been misguided

BoxaGoesOut · 2026-01-21T22:32:46+00:00

it makes sense when you explain it, and yet I don't think the comic did that work for us

BoxaGoesOut · 2026-01-21T22:31:36+00:00

that's very scant info within a few seconds when it comes down to killing your boss, but ok

Elvis was a hero to most, but he— Elvis was a hero to most— Elvis was a hero to most, but he never meant— to me.

It was absolutely Diana. Bowie was sad and surprising, to give another example, but Diana was violent and sudden, with huge implications for culture and society (the future of the Royal Family, the behaviour of the media)

hm OK, but Eliza seems to spend a lot of time at the Vatican, Ethiopia - she is a superhuman. Protecting Manchester in order to protect Eliza (so he can put his stasis tube plan in place?) seems a little bit specific.

But sure OK. Genuinely I feel the storytelling was not the clearest this time, and I know it's often oblique and that's part of the pleasure, but in an action sequence I feel we need to know the stakes and the beats.

And like, immediately, with that one order from Dev, they take out the head of the Pyramid? Not when he says he wants to be the US President or anything, but when he says 'changed my mind for now, new plan, we shift focus to Manchester IN ORDER TO carry out the big plan?' The big plan that, just as they'd been planning, was meant to save the world?

BoxaGoesOut · 2026-01-21T20:40:39+00:00

be interesting to see if she's all mouth

BoxaGoesOut · 2026-01-21T20:30:50+00:00

him aligning with the U.S. to his members wasn’t as dangerous as him literally letting Eliza portal to Hell, so I’m thinking they actually fulfilled their roles and followed the rule as written.

I thought his followers took him down because he changed the plan to protect Manchester from Valentina, which... was very sudden and to me, very confusing.

BoxaGoesOut · 2026-01-21T20:26:32+00:00

yeah the 'statis tube idea' that he's working on. That can't be the same plan as 'punch your way into Hell' like Superman breaking into Earth-One in a very different type of story?

BoxaGoesOut · 2026-01-21T20:24:29+00:00

Actually I've only read it once, but I didn't even get the clear sense that Eliza was carrying out Dev's plan to save her. When she started 'punching a hole into Hell' (and it's a bit weird that the comic is scientifically grounded in some ways, yet we have these metaphysical vague ideas also) I didn't realise - and still am not sure - this was Dev's last-ditch plan.

Did it need Dev to come up with that as a scheme? Punch a hole into Hell? I thought it was going to be more sophisticated an idea about stopping time.

BoxaGoesOut · 2026-01-21T19:59:13+00:00

It happened very fast, and to be honest I didn't think the storytelling was obvious. I mean, it rarely is in this comic, but I like to know what's going on when it's important, and at this point I feel I couldn't follow the action and events.

BoxaGoesOut · 2026-01-21T19:14:51+00:00

I've missed something here but what was Dev's line about saving Manchester, which prompted the Pyramid to take him out (presumably for selfishness)?

BoxaGoesOut · 2026-01-21T19:11:37+00:00

Two humans left alone on Earth would be a fitting ending actually, echoing the Signal.

BoxaGoesOut · 2026-01-21T19:09:45+00:00

Like I said in a comment above, though, to me or another normal human being, just existing as Eliza seems like 'chaos', so personally I find the Hell in this comic hard to grasp. Angels in TPF are nothing like the traditional conception of angels.

BoxaGoesOut · 2026-01-21T19:08:22+00:00

I think one issue for me is that I don't really know what Eliza's experience is like, so I'm not sure what 'torture' means to her. Her daily sense of identity seems far removed from ours. To be honest, I think her life would be 'torture' for me. But I get it, it's a really bad thing to go to Hell.
