Not a malicious one, anyway.
Oh, bother.
Phyrexian? I was thinking more SHODAN.

The mixing of flesh and metal in the bodies of her worshipful adherents would be rather Phyrexian, although she would have taken them along the full conversion cyborgs path in the other direction. And I at least think there was some parallel with loving certain forms of experience that you could scooch into a parallel with "She's given us an ocean"?
Although frankly the main problem with Phyrexia was the bit where it was forced on people who didn't want to be transhuman monstrosities and mind controlled them until they did, and I feel like even Kat at her potential worst wouldn't have gone that-a-ways. Although maybe the Seraphs would have forced it on any "heretic" robots...
Mostly does better things now. Key word mostly. Writes things, but you'll never find them. Or you can ask.
Oh so the Metal Tubes Angel thing Zimmy sees is portends of an alternate timeline? cool.
And that potential seems much more Phyrexian than SHODAN to me as well. Aesthetically, the raw metal look is closer to them than SHODAN's digital and circuitry. Additionally, even at her worst I feel Kat would still be going closer to "free transcendence for everybody!" while SHODAN was only in it for her own bid for godhood.
Oh, bother.
I go with SHODAN more because Kat's being revered as a machine goddess and SHODAN was basically a warped take on mother deities, particularly in the second game, with The Many calling her Machine Mother.

Phyrexian in motive, SHODAN in result?

Priorities, loverboy.
Spiral out, keep going.
Oh, bother.
Oh Renard's one to talk. He became a bodysnatching demon just so he could stalk a woman who was never really into him that way.

In the flip side, that means he knows exactly how skewed the urge guy's priorities are.

Yeah, Renard, that may be exactly the problem.

Oh, cool!
There's also 2430.
Yikes. No wonder Zimmy is absolutely terrified of losing Gamma.
This is way too much talking heads exposition for a comic book.
Never trust anyone who uses "degenerate" as an insult.

Eh, it's not really a new thing either. Probably reads better as a volume.

Personally, I'm fond of it. Also this page was nice and metaphorically fuzzy.

I tend to check in with this comic once a week, makes the more talky chapters work better and makes the new chapter pages feel more engaging.

Oh, so she's not going to wind up as a Phyrexian deity now? Or at least end up as a less evil version.
