Difference between mano-a-mana (spelling intentional) and team play.

I'm not sure, and maybe I'm just so terribly nerdy it's not even funny, but...

Spoiler

I think the "paint by numbers" crack was referencing some of the bonus material included in the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen TPB, which had a Dorian Gray paint-by-numbers game.

Actually, there's no "maybe" about how terribly nerdy I am.

With how much Xycon throws around Energy Drains when fighting epic wizards, I wonder if Rich put the "no divine magic, even by wish" clause into the soul splice to block Spell Immunity, rather than the various raise deads.

Awesome strip!

Xykon is my favorite OOTS villain and I must say I am rooting for him in this fight. Actually, it would be nice if defeated V joined team evil, perhaps even as the Monster in the Dark escaped to the OOTS team. Hopefully, the Monster in the Dark won't switch teams immediately though, as that might mean V might win.

See, I caught the Dorian Gray reference, but not the LoEG reference.

Buh-bye, V.....thanks for playing.

Must be too deep for me, just not funny IMO.

Still I am sure V will love the experience of learning everything again from level 1!

It's too one-sided to be funny. It would have been much more satisfying if V used a Prismatic Sphere only to have Team Evil disarm it layer-by-layer to show something about teamwork, or something else to that extent. But as it stands, it comes off as "V is too dumb to live, how is it possible the elf made it to this point in the first place?"

Oh, and characters slayed by negative levels become wights.
