"While I figured that Marduk might come off as "villainous", this page shows just out of touch Kique is with his characters. One of the best scenes in Home is when Raimo went off on Marduk after Zilas died."

My memory may be hazy on this, but wasn't this scene written by his then co-writer, j-harper?

If anyone is wondering why this bland-ass comic suddenly had a good moment, it's because it wasn't written by kique

*Sigh* Page 838

While I figured that Marduk might come off as "villainous", this page shows just out of touch Kique is with his characters. One of the best scenes in Home is when Raimo went off on Marduk after Zilas died. There was genuine emotions felt throughout the pages and show that Kique old co writer had range when it came to building a scene. Page 838 had no foreshadowing and the obelisk presents more questions than answers. Why did the godmod shield not work like it has in the past for instance? Kargo and Axi couldn't get through the barrier before so why these dogs and lions now? You can argue that the Rabisu have magic or a way to break the barrier but absolutely no foreshadowing was done in the Asmundr territory that showed something just wasn't right.

In all, this page is a character assassination and show Kique's pettiness when it comes to using characters he himself did not create. Marduk has never shown any signs that he wanted Asmundr to bow down to him. I know that Kique is using Marduk's jealously for Father to justify this scene but there is no build up shown of him taking it this far.

Can we also appreciate that Kainan did nothing in all this time that he didn't trust Marduk? There was nothing preventing the pack from leaving and just paints our old hero out to be a moron.
