OotS #6662 is up

Giant In the Playground Games

Rough day?

 

[tallyrand]

It's nice to see Xykon focused. He's usually all evil fun and games, but fun and games don't perform dark and terrible rituals in exchange for immortality.

 

[Ambrus]

Uh oh. Seems team evil is now getting their s--- together.

Still no clue as to where V & O ended up though.

 

[Jürgen Hubert]

Well, Redcloak now has a good reason to dislike Xyklon even apart from his odious habits...

 

[DaveMage]

I wonder if the sleeping monster is a clue as to what it is....

 

[fba827]

hahaha. okay, lots of funny lines. But i started laughing outloud at panel 10, first sentence.

Totally random thought but ... did any of you ever watch a cartoon called Kim Possible on the Disney channel (okay, i know, not the same audience demographic as enworld) ... ? Kim had a nemisis named Dr Drakken voiced by the same guy that did Bender on Futurama. *Anyway,* whenever I see X talking in oots, I hear Dr. Drakken's voice in my head... frankly, it works perfectly! The evil laughter and villiany, and a rather animated voice of someone who just wants to rule the world...

Silly Xykon. Treat your high-ranking minions with respect.

 

[Richards]

What? I missed six thousand Order of the Stick comics?

Oh, wait. "#6662" must just be a typo. Don't scare me like that, Greylock!

(Whew!)

Oh man, awesome comic. Also gives the last few comics some more meaning (as the loss of the phylactery serves as the impetus for Xykon to get his ass into gear).

"If I ever see you with more eyes than s..." Brilliant!

Silly Xykon. Treat your high-ranking minions with respect.

I'm not certain on this. I mean, I understand the point but lately Redcloak has been pretty...alright, the word uppity has horrible connotations but really does work here.

He was treating Xykon like a brain damaged puppy for quite some time. Occasional reminders that Xykon is in fact a really scary epic level sorcerer who isn't exactly stupid isn't a horrible idea.

Of course, if Xykon continually abuses Redcloak then he's going to end up getting what he deserves....
