How great is this! New story and immediately just about everything finds itself hanging in the balance so particularly, so vibrantly and graphical.
Eversince Hell, but also eversince Darkness Calls or all stories really, there seem to have been goings-on visually, as seeming to be becoming reality but at the same time also not, due to seeming but impossible, seeming a straying or fleeting from whatever status quo.
The hell husk appearances, in a way harking back to the clay-like second stances to Hellboy as followed by the elves from where they'd be hiding.
But also the "enflamed heads" to beings potentially living out their thought purpose or destinies - as if to say such thoughts might come to pass as such, or either they might not, or why else would such destinies be proving as hanging in the balance, due to how solemn or lucid they're getting to be portrayed as? As promise or potential moreso than mere actualities?
What the flashy glowy jellyfish could be for Abe, the hell-spawned bigheaded octopuses seemed for Hellboy, yet the parasite or abyss-insects both as the Ogdru Hem seem to belong to an inner world or logic.
As if they'd be coming with Creation as performed by the Ogdru Jahad - hanging over the galaxy, literally both as metaphorically, at the root of everything including the World Tree effectively?
It's as if any and all characters to discern from the storytelling are all individuals as commenting both as making their own sense of it all, but that everything unseen or underneath it all only shows itself through those characters, by means of imagery to familiarize with.
As if within the storytelling anything monstrous or crittery or dark (and fun) would effectively be mysterious. Being effectively what isn't known but needs to be, in order to get prevented or be enabled at any coming to pass?
[BONUS tidbit:] The World Tree or Tree Of Life is in itself an analogy as pertaining to possibly the oldest story matter of our World: the Nordic "POETIC EDDA".
About this Tree and its inhabitants or effectively about the Life which the Tree stands for. There is beauty and hope and all that stuff, but any of it as pertaining to Life, meaning mortal life.
Whereas any wonder or threat or magic/power would pertain to any those granting both as threatening Life, primarily as represented by the Dragon called "World-Ender", a monster who calls the Tree of Life its home. Said to harbor the dead on its wings toward their place beneath the Tree, but especially his name seems most significant, since it has the analogy appear to mean that there would be no Life without Death, no beginnings without endings, no hope with no fear, nor any 'Heaven' without the sense of loss.
