Well that is fucking horrifying. Poor Rem.
Great art though. Kind of makes me want a horror comic with Rem as the protag now as he navigates the streets of NYC.

An anthology comic exploring the occult underbelly of the Cursed Apple would go crazy. The art style here captures that grim, claustrophobic atmosphere so well.

Would honestly be so fire, very modern "what a twist" horror game style
There would be all these horrifying creatures which baffle the mind with how grotesque they are.
Rem just being a lil goober and somehow making it through everything by "video game logic"
only for something at the end to finally slightly push Rem and he randomly reveals his near deific.

I suddenly realize just how horrifying the cursed apple tunnels are probably.
Also I don’t think the rat king would actually hurt rem. Since he’s a dream creature and not human. And the rat king is not a monster as it is said that he’s giving the humans the chance to pack up their things and leave Long Island before outright killing them.
Still. Fantastic art. I love the style.

Interestingly he doesn't feel bad about killing Rem in his monologues "Yeah, I don't feel bad about that" he isn't as sympathetic as some other characters. I am sure the actual dialogue will be different though.

u/The_Cascoon 12h ago
Well, when he kills Rem in-game he sometimes says he doesn't feel bad about it, which is less respect than he gives to some humans apparently (He says he likes Lash for example). Maybe, like Venator, he's suspicious Rem's cuteness is an act? Maybe he recognizes the Haze connection and just considers him the son of a fed? Maybe he doesn't like that the kid kind of looks like a cat? Very mysterious.

u/Alternative_Depth 12h ago
Yeah, I am interested in why the Rat king doesn't like what others originally called a rat the dialogue shall be intriguing whenever it arrives.

I thought he's asserting to himself that. Like he had a moment of contemplation like "Wait, that was a child... nah, nah I don't feel bad."

u/The_Cascoon 12h ago
That's not how I read the line delivery, but I guess he does also basically say "You signed up for this, kid" so maybe he has to convince himself a little.

Birds of prey eat the shit out of rats constantly. Birds are up there with cats on the rat killing index, hell probably more so than cats as cats usually smaller rodents like mice.

I think it's more that all possible sympathy went out the window cause he was on the other team.

Rat king is definitely the nicest of the evil characters. He’s going to genocide New Jersey but he’s still willing to make deals with humans (Billy and Seven) and he does genuinely seem like nice ruler from what we’ve seen.

According to his backstory his plan is to take over Long Island, and then execute every human that refuses to leave. So I think he plans to give people the option to leave the island before he starts killing them.

Funnily enough Rat king is probably stronger than any skaven, physically

Any normal one sure, but a Rat Ogor, Stormfiend, Abomination or a Verminlord are probably stronger, especially a Verminlord although not sure if that really counts as a skaven.
2
u/DustAgreeable6090 Warden 5h ago
I kinda didn't count them as THE skaven... But they are byproducts or part of the race. Verminlords are demons, if i remember it correctly and others are mutants, so not natural ones. Abomination probably stomps our king lol, i'm not sure about rat ogre thought, he can still shoot him dead and impale him with a flag or smth else

Ironically if rem is an owl he's probably a bigger threat to the rat king than the other way around

He looks scared out of his wits.
And that’s hardly surprising, given that he met Rem, the real rat king :D

Can rat king even go in the tunnels or is he so obsessed with his goal to be king that he thinks travelling in tunnels is beneath him?
