Does anyone else agree he should've stayed dead a lot longer?
Not a crazy long time, just a couple thousand issues or something. So it doesn't get too superhero-y.
Umm...no.
All I have to say is...finally.
Oh, also V must have a really god awful will save to keep failing round after round for this long. I'm sure the level drains hurt it a bit, but dang...

V will snap out of it when dramatically or humorously appropriate, such as when Belkar decides to take the opportunity to look under V's robe to settle a long running dispute.

Part of the problem with Marvel-style resurrections are main characters get killed too often. I don't think Roy should have been killed off, and am quite glad he's back.

Y'know, in this strip, Xykon touches both O-chul and V -- maybe that was enough for the lich's permanent paralyzing touch? O-Chul's presumed massive Fort save might be enough to protect him from it (though he failed the first time -- but 1/2 level + Cha mod for an epic-level sorcerer is pretty good), but V's Fort save is probably a sad, sad thing. So maybe V's permanently paralyzed.

It will have campaign logs and random thoughts...
Seemed pretty clear to me he was going to nuke thier innards with a spell until the teleportation interrupted that. Rich was pretty much following round-by-round actions up until then, I don't think he would have let Xykon do the paralyzing touch in the same round as a standard action spell. Even quickened, two paralyzing touchs is 2 standard actions, unless he only chose to do it to V.
It's hard to tell, though, since V's look hasn't really changed since getting held, it's difficult to distinguish if s/he also became paralyzed.

... and then V wakes up only to realize it was all a dream in his paralyzed state...

And to think it only took 222 strips for the rez too!
Next strip will probably be back to the Linear Guild or something. I'm guessing Rich wants to mess with the heads of everyone who thinks #666 will be major.

If Rich really wanted to mess with people's heads he would make the next strip be a recap.
