concepts explored

3-D anaglyphic imagery:
Arooj (Urdu for 'zenith') can unconsciously bend reality. Whenever he's flying, or punching through a car, the 2-d reality of the comic page is being distorted, heightened so that an observer
within it finds it difficult to interpret. However, we in the 3-d world may make sense of this given the proper viewing equipment.

Akhirat's/The End's subversion:
The End is someone who has been driven insane by the knowledge that he is trapped in a piece of comic fiction. He seeks to destroy his reality.
On page 5 his assault causes the comic page to bleed ink, devolve into rough sketches until finally page 6 is reduced to script - all the images have been drained out.
The End is finally dealt with when Arooj throws him through the surface of the page and traps him on the back cover.
