The Couplet Backwards

Here it is! Episode 59: The Couplet Backwards, AKA The Doll Revolution finale.
I have mixed feelings about this, I am excited & relieved to post the conclusion but I am melancholy about saying goodbye to all the characters.
I hope you enjoy it!

Hahaha, thanks, buddy!

Wow! I had to DIG to find this. I was on no spoilers, then it came up 404 for the third time since I started reading this series. And now this! A Finale with NO Ending! WTF? Boz sold his soul for his daughter, and not his wife? I wouldn't call this a cliffhanger. Just unsatisfying. And disappointing. Had some good storylines, and some interesting characters, but still disappointing. I really hope there will be some sort of addendum in the future. If Boz does something to Christina (Abigail?), he may end his life like Blythe, although, she had sold her soul, so the Devil probably retrieved her. Maybe him, too. Thanks for the story anyway.

Thanks for reading, Joe. I enjoyed your no filter commentary!

Great page. I LOVED the movie "Legend" as a kid! You gotta protect those unicorns man ;)

Haha, same here, JM. Thanks!

A finale with a big old teaser. You'll be back. The characters won't stay still. They're worse than the devil himself with their incessant clamoring to appear in a follow-up.

Hahahaha! Maybe so. Thanks for reading, B1102!

Very nicely done. When do we get a sequel? Saw that Action Comics number 1. Perhaps worth selling a soul for.

Hahaha, thank you, Plymayer- you were among the very first regular readers of this comic! I don't think there will be a sequel but you never know... these characters have taken on a life of their own! And, OMG, you're right I think Action Comics #1 is still fluttering around in the backyard (I don't think C3K realizes it's worth a cool 6 million)!

Okay... Where do we start? BIG installment as the finale. Also, a freakin' CLIFF HANGER?! Really? So, it reminds me of that line from a Pink Floyd tune hmm? "I never had the nerve to make the final cut..." So there's always room for the return of our surviving Dolls for yet another go around and more hyjinks and what not. Thanks for all the work and all for the tales and characters! Well done ItA... Time to kick back with everyone that helped you out and what is it they do in that town? Oh yeah... Wrap Party!!!

Hahaha! Thanks so much for your faithful readership, UTBH! I figured it was much better to end on ellipses than a period, you know what I mean? And I think you're right: time for a wrap party celebration of Captain Crunch with Crunchberries (with the Crunchberries picked out)!

Yes, wow, an impressive finale! There were even more surprising twists and turns and above all the drama of the boss's ultimate, fatal self-sacrifice!. But also questions: What happened to Kai? Shouldn't he be sitting with Christina 3000 instead of Maisy? And where has Ivy gone? - To cut a long story short: You can write "end" underneath and say goodbye to the plot, but it's not over. Incidentally, I have a pile of, um, useful examples of devil contracts, beginning with the Lousberg saga down to Neil Postman, so a sequel could very well result in more than a reprieve for Bosley and Christina 3000.

Thank you for the kind words and your faith in the project, Othosmops- and I might take you up on your contract offer, hahaha! Kal & Ivy are just fine. They're simply out of the room (maybe tending to Carmen).
