I’m curious if Echo’s working towards this or if Burke’s controlled opposition has in fact completely slipped the leash.
I guess the more accurate version is has Burke realized that he can’t control the Shadow Circus anymore.
OHHHHHHHHHHHH it took me too many pages to realize who this dude is i feel silly now XD
Gilborn is an arrogant bastard who wants to rule everything. And i dont see him caring that Burke let him off the hook. I trust this will make sense but right now this is feeling out of character for Gus, but Im sure the next few pages will clear things up.
As for Burke. Im starting to see what his angle is and that he has been playing the long game. This reveal of him as the mastermind felt very out of the blue considering his control of the clowns and the fact all his actions make sense on a purely “im a politican angle” but now it is making a lot more sense.
Hope i didnt sound too critical. Like with Burke’s reveal making sense in this page I assume Gilborn being a lacky will make sense in 3 or 4 pages.
Oops sorry didnt mean to post that under you
Gilborn does looks kinda different without the Canadian-maple-leaf clown wig. Though his taste in sunglasses apparently didn’t change.
It’s the first time we’ve seen him with normal, non-villainous facial expressions.
He watched the Prequels a few times.
Don’t feel silly, I just got it too. Been too long since my last full read through.
I want everyone to go back to page 46 and look at Dot’s face. That’s the city that Burke wants.
was gilborn the last name of the ringleader guy
Yes. Burke also alluded to his plot against the Throne City Angels (see Chapter 5, page 86), which is presumably the reason he’s under house arrest at this time.
Interesting. Burke’s twisted little game is more complex than I thought.
Kudos to Gilborn for proper trigger discipline

Which one of you is the Sasuke
Crazy to think ten years ago give or take colors hadnt been invented yet
That’s what clowns will do to a city
I’m having a little trouble squaring this iron-fisted fascist who demands respect, quiet, and rigid order with the guy who vapes potatoes and is too goofy to duck when someone tries to kill him. But I guess he’s still far from the strangest character in the comic.
It’s a flex. Burke’s acting like he doesn’t have to take anything or anyone else seriously. He shrugged at people trying to kill him because it was Bout’s job to deal with the consequences. He’s using Gilborn’s microwave and eating snacks during this meeting to show he doesn’t need to impress this guy.
He’s just overconfident. That’s a pretty common vice for authoritarians.
…that doesn’t explain the potato thing, but I don’t think anyone can explain that.
Suddenly this is a lot darker
