I was surprised to find out that my Friendly Neighborhood Comics Shop actually did have it in stock -- I got lucky. :) Amazing read... can't wait to find out what happens next. I haven't read any of the four Countdown miniseries; I've gotten a good idea of the general events skimming the...

Like the others have said -- Record of Lodoss War. This is the granddaddy of fantasy anime. It's based almost directly on D&D, right down to the archtypal First Edition party (fighter, magic-user, cleric, thief, elf, and dwarf). There's also Fullmetal Alchemist, which I think is the best...

Man, that was my favorite show as a kid. Though I kind of lost interest when Gizmoduck and Bubba Duck started taking over the show.

I haven't read it yet, and I doubt I will since the two comics stores in my city tend to sell out rather quickly, but I'm not giving up hope... I think it's understandable. Batman's refusal to take lives is part of his obsession, after all, and the one time Superman killed -- when he fought...

Peter Parker's old girlfriend Gwen Stacy's stayed dead all this time, clones notwithstanding.

Geez, that's a long wait. But... The Central City Rogues, en force? Awesome! This is what I've been waiting for!

I'm not entirely convinced that the Red Hood is indeed Jason Todd -- even if all the evidence, down to his DNA, says he is, it's still a stretch IMO. Anyway, the Red Hood/"Jason Todd" didn't kill the Joker -- just beat him within an inch of his life. The Joker has indeed come back in full swing...

I have a strong distaste for strong-but-silent drow outcasts. I've got nothing against Drizzt himself, but I can't stand all the imitators.

I'm really missing out on JLU. Something always comes up that keeps me from watching it. :( *notifies Nodwick*

Oh man, that's even better!

Woah, does this mean a Legion of Super-Heroes crossover? Or does it refer to Vril Dox II's L.E.G.I.O.N.?

That was just an example -- although Flash has indeed displayed a certain degree of engineering knowledge. What I meant was that superheroes can at least help out with the cleanup (ie, heavy lifting, etc.), even if they don't know how to put a building back together piece-by-piece.

This is under the assumption that the heroes involved never do anything to make up for collateral damage. After Superman tears up Metropolis fighting Bizarro, you think he's just going to chill out in the Fortress of Solitude? No -- he's more than capable of rebuilding everything that gets...

I've just picked up used copies of Horselords and Dragonwall, the first two books in the Forgotten Realms "Empires Trilogy" about the invading Horde, but I haven't had a chance to crack either open yet.

From Inu-Yasha, there's Inu-Yasha's Tetsusaiga, and that giant boomerang thingy Sango uses. There's also Ashram's demon-sword Soulcrusher from Record of Lodoss War, although it's not terribly flashy. EDIT: Just read your last post there a little more closely. Never mind, I don't think these'd...

Hrm, it's not really a cross between a hill giant and an ogre so much as a very large human. Anyway, you can find stats in this thread. It's the last post on the page.

Considering they're said to be derived from orcs and associated with Gruumsh, I think they're pretty far removed from fey. I'd say that either aberration or monstrous humanoid suits them best.

Chibi Parn dressed as Chibi Deedlit haunts my dreams... :confused:

1. Definately the OVA, since the TV series is a continuation thereof. 2. There's nothing like that in the TV series. You probably heard about the OVA, whose first episode takes place after the next several episodes. I'd still recommend watching the OVA's episodes in numerical order, though...

Considering Lolth's recent silence, too, now could be a good time for him to make a comeback.
