[QUOTE="Lord Zardoz, post: 4786804, member: 704"] I suspect that to put this in professional wrestling terms, this sequence of events is V putting Xykon over. Xykon is allowed to be a total jerkass primadonna because it gets him 'heat', and makes the readers of the strip hate him just a little bit more. On top of that, as I said in the previous OotS thread, people are underestimating Xykon. This was never going to be a cakewalk for V. From a tactical standpoint, even if Xykon is a bit of an idiot who tends to have a severely limited attention span, Red Cloak is not. I am thinking that the vast majority of the fans of the strip never thought of something as simple as a few magical traps preventing a Timestop. V is not finished yet, but he obviously does not have the upper hand as easily as many thought. And me? I am rooting for Team Evil! END COMMUNICATION [/QUOTE]
