This book is INSANE with subtlety! I love it...check this out!
I am trying one last time to get people to understand that killing a MM does NOT mean a Universe will die...slowly or otherwise!
Here we go:
1) FACT the first incursion happened 7 years after the first MM death.
2) FACT the Beyonders were not aware anything was happening until 10 years.
3) now here is the kicker....on the page where it shows Owen killing the first MM it also shows the residual of the corpse being examined by the Beyonders? How is that possible if the MM universe dies because he does? The beyonders found out 10 years after the first death! The first Incursion was 7 years! obviously post # 235 was right. Killing a MM does not cause the early death or death of a universe!
And here is another cool part. When Owen drew that symbol before he killed the first MM he said he was "Sending a message". A few pages later you see Doom and Owen walking in the library. AS they are walking underneath a part of the Library the same symbol appeared. The panel earlier the symbol was not there. So THAT is the symbol of Rabum Aala. And the message was meant for the beyonders. If the universe died out with the death of the MM the beyonders would not have inspected the corpse remains or gotten the message of Rabum Alal. I think I nailed it this time guys. If you disagree use the text. Because that is all I am using.
