Who or what the hell is the Qliphoth? We’ll find out later, or you can do some research and take a wild guess for yourself.
In other news, I will be taking a break for the month of January 2015. The current storyline of Memento Mori will continue on into next year, but there’s still plenty of surprises waiting for us until this chapter ends!
Avenging fallen-angel like beings in pursuit of China? Sounds interesting enough. My guess: either their bosses or some killing squad for getting rid of traitos and similar. The latter would be intriguing, wouldn’t it?
Ah, good old over the top name droping of secret pseudo-religious societies. Always willing to provide for a laugh or two.
Nothing makes things more dramatic than mining names from mystical sources. Just ask Mike Mignola!
So this is Vlad. I hate him already.
We’ve met Vlad before, albeit in a flashback. He’s definitely not very friendly this time around (but probably still as dangerous).
Why do I have this feeling that she ain’t going to live much longer? It’d certainly give Scapula another reason to go after this guy, if nothing else because he stole Scaps kill!
Ah, the ever-popular credo of this comic, stolen from The Texas Chain Saw Massacre: “Who will survive and what will be left of them?”
Interesting. Not going to comment. My friend Trevie is more into occult studies…. gonna have to ask him. Which at least gives me a chance to talk to him about something new!
Cool! Another Trevor essay would make my day (and, of course, I’d be happy to share it with you fellow readers).
only other place I’ve heard that term… was “Qliphotic Realm”, the name for the alien eldritch dimension full of Lovecraftian horrors in the Champions RPG game…
Hoo boy…I’m sure there’s enough Lovecraft role-playing games to cover everything under the sun (and beyond that, of course). If not, at least the makers can charge a crap-ton for them.
I just finished Kadrey’s Sandman Slim series, so I know what the word means, but not how it’s being used here. Unless…
I wonder if Aidan has read it? If we introduce it to him we might find a sketch of Kasabian with his Hellhound body on here some day… 😉
Sandman Slim…is Flint Marko now a rapper from Detroit?
No one will get that joke, and those that do will not care. That’s internet fandom for ya!
The Sandman Slim Shady? Alas, Flint can’t carry a beat to save his life.
You should check the books out. It’s about a magician in modern LA betrayed by his fellows and sent to Hell, only to return with bloody vengeance on his mind. Bloody vengeance and old movies. I think you’d like it.
Hmmm, he’s both bishi hot and rich…better not send Hypnausea.
Who can say how many of the snotty effete characters have met by now? Sheesh, imagine THAT little get-together.
A month? Round the world cruise?
I’m lucky if I can get down the stairs without needing a vacation.
It’s probably just the coloring and the name “Vlad,” but now I’m going with secret society of Vampire wannabes.
Boy oh boy, are there a lot of those (and I’m not even talking about the internet folks). Not judging any subcultures here…but maybe I am mocking them just the same. Haw haw!
The worst part of this is that I’m pretty sure I pronounced Qliphoth right in one go.
