New StarCraft Comic: "The Keep"

[GnaReffotsirk]

I gather Amon is simply an immortal who got tired of the cycle, and wants to end it. Or he just says that but wants to end it, while keeping himself manifest, all beings made in his own image, and under his lordship.

Maybe shepherding the flock isn't his intent. The Xel'Naga are fools, they don't even consider the character of who they transfer power to. Or maybe, in Kerrigan's case there simply isn't no other option at the present but Kerrigan.

Who knows, maybe the cycle isn't complete yet, but Amon sort of forced it into labor, and Oros had no choice but to merge himself with Kerrigan.

Amon proved himself little better than an animal who went out of control with rage. If nothing else I had expected him to have better self control and more intellectual. You don't live for billions of years and those are the only qualities you have, surely you're supposed to have learned SOMETHING.

You know what would be great? If there was some sort of time anomaly. Like, using the artifact, just like Tychus said, created a rift in space/time. A rift that changed the entire SC2 trilogy into an alternate reality, where options merged and vanished at random. An alternate reality that contained all the universe's retcons.

An alternate universe that can be entirely ignored.

Lol. It's already happened if you think about it since Sc2 feels less like a sequel to Sc1 and more of a fanfic anyways.

Well, we could always explore what happened in the timeline where Kerrigan died, an exceptionally grimdark storyline. Maybe Amon was more cunning in this reality.

I suppose in this timeline Amon never corrupted the Khala, or that detail simply went unmentioned. If the former, that may imply the protoss were less of a threat, perhaps due to inner conflict that was resolved too late. Or it could mean Amon was never reborn on Atrias. Or he was reborn, killed, thrust back into the Void, and returned as Kerrigan mentions in Into The Void. Or, Amon asserted control over the Khala, dispatched the majority of the Protoss, and then released the remaining survivors in a cat-and-mouse game.

Or, or, or...

In a way that was already done via the SC Beyond Koprulu campaign.....

They could keep Amon, Nissa. Remember, Duran told Zeratul he had a master in Dark Origins.

You have to give him SOMETHING....

Yes, a "master" other than Amon.
