purplechrain: Kieron Gillen: The sort of writer who seeds an idea in an apparently throw-away Goth gag in Issue #2, drops an ominous and oblique callback in the back-up story to Issue #16, and then after a feint in Issue #26, hits you with a gutpunch of feelings and regret and doom in Issue #30. And technically speaking, nothing awful has happened yet and this is all elegantly cruel (or cruelly elegant) foreshadowing. I can’t believe that, at the end of Issue #29, I was 99%. certain that Dio sitting in the dark and caring about Baphomet meant that Dio’s Morrigan-induced predictive photography augured a Bad End for Baphomet at her hands. This is so much worse, and thus, the only natural path for the story to take. Fuck me. I forgot that I had initially apparently correctly suspected Dio’s Morrigan-induced predictive photography augured bad things for Baph but (incorrectly) at her hands and then let myself successfully get misdirected by Kieron’s sleight-of-hand with Cass from the mouths of Woden and Baph. I mean, I guess I should have trusted my instincts like I did about Cass being the 12th. But still. -- source link
