Ep 107: Wherein Ghob’s true intentions are shown to be lacking a clearly defined goal or endpoint.

Comic geek talk here, but is Noah’s ascension a tip of the hat to Cerebus’ climb to Sentius Po?

Read all the episodes last night. Couldn’t put it down. Love the hyperreal internal logic of it! The gods and their human frailty! The suspense! The adventure!

Ordered Forming Vol. 1 and I’m curious: what episodes are in it?

awesome

Ghob liked everything the way it was before the evil space aliens came to Earth, right? Is he badass enough to pound Rhea? Inquiring minds want to know.

But wisdom tooth extraction can suck, good luck.

this is so great!

I don’t think Rheas actions are defensible, of course. But I can imagine many reasons why Ghob would have no problems with it. Rhea, unlike Iapetus or Cronus, doesn’t try to bend nature to her will. Sure, she kills a lot of things. But an earthquake could do that just as well.

I guess death, especially violent death, could be considered unnatural in the context of Forming – indtroduced on Earth with the extraterrestrials. But IRL I think most of what goes on in nature only becomes meaningful or understandable in a world where things die. Why spiderwebs, if the spider had no need to catch and eat flies to survive long enough to procreate?
