OotS 611 is up!

[GAAAHHH]

Yes! Belkar's Back. Once again the day is saved thanks to EVIL.

I'm guessing he's not going to call...

Belkar is my favorite OOTS character. It's a pity the prophecy is that he will die permanently.

 

[garyh]

Belkar's awesome!

permanently?

you sure it said permanently? as in no resurrection?

 

[Greylock]

My favorite character, hands down, for the longest time has been Belkar!* Thanks be that he's finally back!

*2nd favorite, Haley, 3rd is Durkon, 4th is everyone else.

Well, it said he will "draw his last breath ever", which seems to preclude resurrection. I suppose he could become something that doesn't need to breath or the reference could be metaphorical, but these seem like dubious workarounds at best.

Dubious workarounds are a staple of prophecy.

I also liked the way that Rich managed to work in a reference to "Mage vs. Housecat".

Gah! Sarnath'ed on the mage vs housecat joke.

This just in: Sexy shoeless god of war is sexy, shoeless and a god of war.

Here's a question for all you loyal OotS fans - well, more loyal than me anyway - I skipped basically everything from just after the first adventure to whenever it was that Roy's sister was kidnapped by Elan's brother.

During that time period was there ever any development of Durkon's character and backstory? We've seen lots of Roy and Haley and Elan, and Belkar has his own schtick, but as much as I like Durkon - he does seem to be secondary. V as well - though that just may be a feeling that comes from the strip not focusing on them as much lately. . .
