>needlessly dismantling your own universe for no good reason
Dave needs a better hobby.

Thanks, OP.

No! Post it now! First time reading this. Post it now!!!!

Thanks again OP.
And so she leaves the series for good.
Bye Astoria, you are the best character in the comic.
On another note, is Cerebus technically trans, or do intersex folk not count as trans?

Wait tomorrow.
Not much worth getting hyped over anyway from that pile of elaborate nonsense.

Can you identify them all?

Why'd Elrod have to go?

I stopped after Moore-Gaiman-Simroach.

>Dave Sim thinks he's in the same league as Neil Gaiman and Alan Moore

>implying he's not
moore even has that quote about how cerebus is to comics as hydrogen is to the periodic table.

Because like hydrogen, Dave is unsafe, highly flammable, and prone to explosions.

So is Elrod really gone?

Also I can't help but wonder what could make 186 infamous considering where this comic has already gone. Genre shift after genre shift, physical-narrative breakdowns, political and religious criticisms, hell even a sort of MEDIA shift with all the text pages, and in this last issue we find out the main character is a hermaphrodite.

I'm curious about what comes next.

Elrod really is gone, just like that.
Poited out of existence.

Wow. Pretty sure he was the first recurring character we had besides Cerebus himself. With him and Astoria out that’s quite a 1-2 punch.

Wonder why Sim decided to get rid of him like that.

It's because the main story is pretty much drawing to a close. Beyond #200 is more or less a 100 issue epilogue. Most of the characters we've seen up until this point are never going to show up again.

So Im trying to think of how many stories try to do the ‘a bunch of people want to become god’ and follow it up with minds crashing and merging together in a crazy psuedoreal dreamscape thing.

Cause there’s this, Eva, and I can’t really think of anything else. But I feel like there must be other examples.

Without wishing to spoil too much, it contains essays where Dave goes full batshit.

Im looking forward to this.

It’s the most infamous part of the comic, now I get to see just how far off the edge it goes.

honestly it's not THAT insane. I've read things on Yea Forums that are more shocking and offensive.

thank you for the storytime OP. can't wait to see what thoughtful and not-insane social commentary Dave Sim will give us next time

>expecting me to read all this shit
I'm sorry I thought this was a comic book, not a novel.

As someone who finished reading Cerebus yesterday, there's nothing that crazy about what Sim says in the next few issues, if you're not a newfag then you've seen most of what he says repeated on this very website. The only way you could find what he says soon batshit crazy is if you're a tumblrite that can't handle anything resembling misogyny. Although I guess for the time this was written it was probably a lot more provocative.

The part where Sim really lost me is in Latter Days when he starts going off the deep end about religion and the comic just turns completely into a commentary on the Torah.

>Although I guess for the time this was written it was probably a lot more provocative.
Consider also the Cerebus had a lot of feminist themes, actually strong and complex female characters, and a large female audience.
And it's not even that that sealed Cerebus' fate, it's the continued dismantling of everything people liked about the comic and Sim doubled down on the changes and actively pushed people out of his life. Gerhard terminated his relationship with Sim because he became that hard to deal with.

You're allowed to skip.

Is this page from this comic?

Yes

tnks

Stick around and read the rest while you're here.
It's a good comic.

I'm not bothered by Sim's opinions as much as I'm bothered by his insistence that he always held them and certain characters were always intended to represent a certain thing. I was never a fan of Jaka in the first place but Sim absolutely shits all over his own work when he brings her back in the 200's.

My copy of Jaka's Story Remastered should be here tomorrow.
Life is good.
Neil Gaiman and Alan Moore think he's above them, actually.

I never felt he did, Jaka was the reasonable party in her relationship with Cerebus and was willing to put up with a ton of shit from him just for his sake.

>I was never a fan of Jaka in the first place but Sim absolutely shits all over his own work when he brings her back in the 200's.
How? All the groundwork is there when she actually get some fleshing out in Jaka's story. Before that we (and Cerebus) know fuck all about her personality outside being one of the few people who actually likes Cerebus.
