Endtown by Aaron Neathery for January 27, 2024

Well that doesn’t look right…

The more you look, the more confuzzled..?!

uniformed chaos : )

Wow. Just…

wow.

Better get back in the hole…

Well, I confess I’m confused. Are those objects just floating above them, or is this an explosion in process?

I’m seeing buildings, ships, cars but no people. A world assembling or disassembling? Our people seem to be on solid ground – thankfully.

I wonder…. It looks like all the vehicles are pointed towards the center. Falling up, falling down, or floating still?

What happens when they jump one more time (when the hole closes completely)?

If it were me, I would be making a B-line to the left! I’d take my chances with the storm clouds on the horizon verses a towering mess directly above me.

Holy macaroni that last frame is a masterpiece! Well done, Aaron…

Coming together or flying apart? I suppose we’ll find out, it’s the un-pocalypse.. maybe.

Maybe I’m just an optimist, but…..Look close, you might see an elephant entering the vortex above you

They had better climb out of that hole before the next SNAP.

OK, did not see that coming.

Is one of those ships the Edmund Fitzgerald? Will we be seeing Holly soon?

Wooeeee…..this is stunning on just about any level….but kids; pay attention & get out of the hole before. SNAP!

DAYUUUMMMM…

Out of the frying pan, into an Inception out-take!

I really hate spawnpoint loading errors.

It took almost four months to get here, but that splash page is beautiful.

OH Snap! Out of the frying pan and into….into this? But yes, as has been said, get out of and away from that hole!

Welcome to the Singularity. Enjoy your day at the Event Horizon.

I take it that gravity is on hiatus on the surface? That is so many layers of just plain wrong.

On the other hand, I’m not seeing any eyes.

Whatever’s happening can’t be too bad: we haven’t flipped to color. Yet.

So… is this what happens when all the realities collapse into one another? I see a masted schooner towards the center, something else that may or may not be a castle… But the very middle looks more like a white hole than a black hole, which would mean all the objects are heading outward towards our intrepid heroes. Better duck.

I think you can climb now, guys and lady

Oh no, it’s an InSNAPtion!

I’m guessing it’s a Lucranian event. Everything looks like a vehicle converted from salvage. Wally’s world may have just been declared fair game and everyone’s coming to stake claims. They may not know the planet’s still populated underground. The gang’s about to ruin everyone’s day. “I swear, they weren’t there before!”

The bird might know what is “up”. (PUN intended)

Me thinks it is all the realities that Eden borrowed from to be formed but also it could be that Doctor Strange has come a-calling. Tune in next time End Towners! Same Time, Same Channel. (Batty, isn’t it? but no Robin)

And somewhere in that mess, a sperm whale and a bowl of petunias are thinking “Not again!”.

at this point they can just climb out of what’s left of the hole

That’s a lotta world falling on them.

Amazing artwork… though I’m not sure what I’m looking at in the last panel. :)

C’mon crew, climb outta that hole before the next SNAP. Looking forward to seeing what they do next.

well, THAT was unexpected!

Has all their reality been… in the hole?

Reminds me of the end of “Bad Luck Blackie.”

There’s a hole in the Universe. And all the reality is rushing out.

Reality has gone bye-bye. It had a good run, but now it’s gone.

One odd object I noticed. Between the left building and odd bottomed boat. It looks like the robot from back in Flask story…the one created by Professor Mallard.All the rest are regular looking stuff.Interesting.

I knew we shoulda taken that left toin at Albakoykee.

I can’t identify any aircraft in the mix.

We can’t see the extent of what our crew is climbing out of. The entire Eden Project might be just another chunk of detritus floating among the rest of the junk.

Another noticed item. Dead center above the ocean liner….The Opabinia Queen??

This is AWE-flipping-SOME!!

uhmmm… how many of our hero’s can be seen in the hole? Are we missing one? or is the short kid just not visible.

Do not get distracted now …

Did it get worse? I can’t tell! :D If this is where the Topsiders moored the reality bubble, then I think they may have to recalculate if they put the bubble inside someone else’s bubble. We still have yet to find out of the new city people, including Kirby, are dead or not. As for floating buildings, an office building would be a good organizational location for the Lucranians to keep their records, so why not take one of the classy looking ones?(It would be a good story ender for Wally and Duffy to go off to search the ships for Duffy’s brother and Holly. Not that I want it to end, just want them to run into some storyline resolution!)

Everything, everywhere, all at once!

Cracked Cat: “Quick! Who here has a parasol?”

They glitched through the out-of-bounds barrier!

That is definitely a Whiskey Tango Foxtrot situation.

There she blows! Round and round she goes and where she stops, no one knows!

Everything’s gone to meet the Saviour in the air…

WOW! And to those who wonder what’s going on here — the snaps signaled the un-construction of Eden, which makes this fusillade of objects look like the start of the un-deleting of conventional reality. BIG finish, Aaron!

What an amazing image ! Great art. I hate waiting for the story. The tension is contagious.

Never mind “raining cats and dogs”… This is raining planes, trains and automobiles!

Oh, and there’s bits and pieces of the Empire State Building, too. Can’t forget that.

Anyhow… RUN!!!!!!!

The suspense is killing me… but I guess the suspension will kill all of them if it ends.

Drop me off along with the casino and the SS Poseidon!

That schooner with the sails: Is that Marx’s ship?

A few folks in here have mentioned seeing a schooner or sailship that may be the Opabinia Queen. The last time we saw the Queen, she had just performed an IET (Instantaneous Emergency Transfer) in an attempt to avoid a bunch of Topsider missiles. The Queen could have ended up here. The Queen did the Transfer when ordered to by her captain—which was Wally. If Wacky tried to take command of the O Queen, would its A.I. recognize Wacky as the Captain (since Wacky is not exactly Wally)? Could it move in this place?

It looks like the car headlights are on, which seems to imply the presence of people.

Set up an Umbrella, it’s raining cement and steel!

I see that a city is being quickly thrown together now that the gang is arriving.

What is needed now is a Lucranian freighter named Edmund Fitzgerald, with a mouse as its captain…

Dam fine artwork Mr Neathery! Certainly did not expect that.

Oh, and gang, JUMP NOW!

And stuff is falling upward, toward whatever singularity is hidden by the bright light.

Just gonna say, from experience, that beautiful sight in the final panel (if you can call it a ‘beautiful sight’ is most likely AI generated, probably Bing AI, thought could be a different one. Surprised nobody else has thought such so far. I’m gonna go crawl back to my drawing desk now.

Looks to me like the final jump will put the world back in its place.

Will they remember to make that last jump with all that distraction overhead?

Really nice use of perspective in last panel. I’d love to see a 3D version of it.

“Help I’m jumping into the twilight zone, …”

Apparently I haven’t been paying enough attention to our characters. When did one of them become a woman?

They jumped right into the end of Akira.
