Arc 1: banishing the deadly sins.
Arc 2: saving the deadly sins.
Nice, I like it
Quick! Everybody fornicate!
One foot on the ground at all times please. This is a respectable comic.
oooh intriguing….
I’ve read a book in the past where the 7 Deadly Sins went on strike. Basically, nothing got done, because evenyone was in some way motivated by a sin - Pride, Avarice, Lust, whatever. Why work if you’ve no pride in your work or desire for payment?
Huh. What book?
That sounds… really interesting. What is it called?
“The Damned Busters” by Matthew Hughes.
“The Damned Busters” by Matthew Hughes. I just had a search through my home library and found it.
The premise of the book is when a normal person accidentally summons a demon - in a way,a little like the “Todd and Granny” stories on Tubmlr
…can she ?
If she gets hold of the things the Sins were bound in, which have been sitting in the Witch Space labeled “BAd” all this time… yeah, maybe.
I love Ben putting his coat around Eliza’s shoulders in the last panel.
Interesting! I was wondering what her plan was - my best guess was destroy or disperse all magic so thinly it couldn’t be abused anymore. Did anyone guess this?
I'd thought it was human emotions that created the Sins, so they'll soon reform even if their physical embodiments are destroyed. Unless Thea is going to take out the Anchors too…
And what if she's decided to destroy what causes the sins to reform? To do that she'd need a lot of power , like that of all the anchors.
Huh. Wasn't expecting that. It does make sense tho
just as idiotic as the rest of it.
wasn’t it that if they tried to destroy the sins it would also make it so no one could feel those emotions anymore?
O'Malley lit his cigarette with magic!!!
Oh, yeah, you’re right! Nice!
If Arpana’s wheelchair is powered by Pride and Determination, then is OMalley lighting his cig with Bloody-Mindedness and Irritation?
O’Malley TRIED to light his cigarette with magic. Before he was rudely interrupted. Some people, I swear…
he’s done it before too!
I noticed Eliza seems to have dropped her book as she went to help Henry through the door. That’s a shame, but she’s got her priorities straight.
If I were her, I might have tried throwing it through the doorway or stuffing it down my shirt.
Where’s the book? The one that shows all this?
And that’s… bad?
Probably. This world’s magic is tied up in people’s emotions. What happens when you literally destroy an entire emotion, to say nothing of seven of them? It’s likely not good.
Imagine chronic depression. Then make it worse.
But with no sloth.
Love Mal’s casual use of magic to light his cigarette here <3
the SINS or the vessels??
NOOOOOOOOOO I SPENT SO LONG CATCHING UP I FORGOT IT WAS STILL GOING ON WAS SO CONFUSED WHEN THERE WASN’T A NEXT PAGE :SOB:
Honestly, the world would likely be better off without Greed and possibly also Wrath. The others are all motivators which push humans forward in both positive and negative ways, especially when you display them in moderation.
Greed, on the other hand, is the opposite of moderation. It’s the drive to have in excess. Without it, you’d still have the motivation to gain what you need, as well as the motivations from the other sins.
Wrath, especially if we consider the original Catholic interpretation of the deadly sins, is when anger (whether righteous or not) spills over into impassioned action for the sake of vengeance instead of justice. However, if Wrath in the world of Widdershins also governs anger in general, then you’d lose out on the anger that drives people to right wrongs, which would undoubtedly have severe consequences in the long run.
Can we get a wellness check for Sid and Wolfe? Please and thank you!
I’m surprised no one has noticed their absences still…
