Is "Elder Evils" one of the books slated for 4E conversion?
Via the free DDI updates?
I know Exemplars of Evil is, but I just found out Elder Evils contains one of my fave baddies ever- Zargon from B4 If so, I may pick it up on the cheap.
P.S. You'd think WOTC would have chosen to title these books differently to avoid confusion

I think people sometimes get too fixated about what's "official" to see what they could do with the whole- "David "Zeb" Cook
Zargon's in there, along with some other creative foes. Highly recommended.
I play/run Savage Worlds and a little 4e, and this is the only 3.5 book I went back and bought, and one of only two 3.5 books I'm keeping (Lords of Madness is the other).

Heresy! (No offense to Claudio, whom I dig), but thats actually Holloway's updated version (he did the original in B4

Thanks for the link to that "review" Frank- unfortunately EE's "new spin" on Zargon kind of blows cunks I may just work up my own stats and whatnot instead of grabbing EE (and incorporate B4's other Deities into the cosmology of a homebrew setting I'm working up)
I actually prefer Holloways original piece to be honest. The new rendition is less menacing to me- lacks talons and his face has a kind of cute gorillia/monkey look to it
