    Been wondering about that. Most of the mutants don’t wear shoes.

    “Your end chose your beginning.” Again this points to the mutant form being dictated by the pre-mutation mind. It certainly was true in the cases of Flask and Sara…

    Well this looks a bit familiar.

    Is Wally going to follow Flask?http://www.gocomics.com/endtown/2012/10/10 thruhttp://www.gocomics.com/endtown/2012/10/12

    And are all our questions about Jim, Holly, Kirbee and the rest to go unanswered?

    The entire shoe? Or just the soles?

    Oh, so this must be Rome, if all the roads lead to it. If anyone see’s a giant pillar of the spirits of the dead in Italy, just note that it’s supposed to be there.

    Shoes have soles, egos (waking consciousnesses) have souls.

    Are those marble to baseball sized floating spheres dittos that are drifting into the column and being carried up? I like the way some of them are clustering around the balloon eye in the last frame. Maybe `Lil Aaron will give Wally the balloon as a parting gift.

    I was sorta hoping that the next arc would be taking Kirbee back to Endtown. She and Trace were made for each other.

    This is looking more and more like the time Flask died. So is Wally dead?

    Okay I’m beginning to get this. We are at the stream of souls where Aaron Marx was able to get Flask reincarnated as an adult. I’m guessing that Wally is still alive, is dreaming and that Marx has hijacked his dream to bring him here for some reason. I’m puzzled by young Marx’s words.“Your end chose your beginning.”At first I thought it meant that Wally died and was being reincarnated but that doesn’t make sense.Curiously, the stream of souls looks smaller than when Flask was recycled here. I wonder if the person who is “stealing shoes” has something to do with this.

    That isn’t Marx. It’s Chic. Read the dialog in Chic’s voice, and notice the patterns and the words are the same. And The Eye in the Sky is Irving. The Alan Parsons Project song The Eye in the Sky could be the theme of this scene.

    I think I need to re read from the beginning. ( Nice to be challenged) Excellent work and good plotting. Like the allusions and symbolism.

    Well Done.

    Mildly Appropriate Lyrics:“Eye In The Sky”Don’t think sorry’s easily saidDon’t try turning tables insteadYou’ve taken lots of chances beforeBut I ain’t gonna give any moreDon’t ask meThat’s how it goes‘Cause part of me knows what you’re thinking…Don’t say words you’re gonna regretDon’t let the fire rush to your headI’ve heard the accusation beforeAnd I ain’t gonna take any moreBelieve meThe sun in your eyesMade some of the lies worth believingI am the eye in the skyLooking at youI can read your mindI am the maker of rulesDealing with foolsI can cheat you blindAnd I don’t need to see any moreTo know that I can read your mind, I can read your mindDon’t leave false illusions behindDon’t cry ‘cause I ain’t changing my mindSo find another fool like before‘Cause I ain’t gonna live anymore believingSome of the lies while all of the signs are deceivingI am the eye in the skyLooking at youI can read your mindI am the maker of rulesDealing with foolsI can cheat you blindAnd I don’t need to see any moreTo know that I can read your mind, I can read your mind Voting links are in my profile.

    From Chip Monck:‘The warning that I’ve received, you may take it with however many grains of salt you wish, is that the brown -acid- *beans* that is circulating around us is not specifically too good. It’s suggested that you do stay away from that. Of course, it’s your own trip, so be my guest, but please be advised that there is a warning on that one, OK?

    Curious. Since Wally knows of Aaron Marx, why does he not recognize him in this form? Perhaps Marx wants to provide him with insights that he would not get on his own.And what of the liquid Oracle?…

    This is not the afterlife….it is the zone between the realities. That thin separation between one reality and the next. Marx moves in this area as he has the device that allows him to do it. Why Wally is there is a mystery for now. Shoe theft should be a police matter.Our author has plans, wonderful plans. I sit back now being his Patreon and enjoy the ride.

    This isn’t a young Marx or Chic. They are elements of Marx and Chic that (God, maybe) borrowed from Wally’s mind to communicate with him. “Shoes” is apparently “souls” sort of mistranslated. (God, maybe) needs Wally’s help to stop the soul stealer.Or maybe he really did mean shoes. Shoes are what people use to walk. Without shoes, people can’t walk to Here and move on to the next life. Someone may be stranding souls.

    Like an Oracle, the statements the boy is making can be interpreted in many ways.

    I’m inclined to think, yeah, this is a kid version of Aaron Marx. But it could still be somebody else.

    I just noticed the way Marx’s eye is straining towards the Well. I think Marx caught a particular soul, tied it to a string and painted the pupil on it. I wonder if that’s either Sarah or Jim.
