Endtown by Aaron Neathery for February 09, 2025

I almost feel sorry for the security rats. Almost. Knowing how officious, cruel and unfair they have been in the past, it’s hard to sympathise with them if they don’t show insight and contrition for past wrongs.

“to sleep, perchance to dream…” Ask Wally about dreams… you might not want any.

If Joe is lucky, death is the final stop. But I’m afraid they will put his body in a machine, push a button and he will back good as new. Or as good as someone who was murdered and not allowed to die quietly can be.

Perchance to dream…

“Perchance to get a game reset.”

Consider the alternative.

Reminds me of Roy Batty’s soliloquy from Blade Runner… “…like tears in rain… time to die.”

Seems like they are working on a bigger picture and the pieces don’t want to work together.Not inherently bad but can lead to trouble.

Time to End. Town.

His face in panel 3 – brilliant artwork. The anguish and fatigue and hopelessness.

I feel the same way, but for slightly different reasons.

I’m guessing the point of this arc is like that “are we the baddies?” realization of the Nazi guy from that one movie…

Time to see a doctor. Probably a mad doctor. Possibly Mallard.
