In 110 Roy says Xykon killed Fyron and his son.

When Xykon is shown killing Fyron in SoD there is no sign of the son.

Did Rich just forget about the son?

While I certainly think it could be a continuity error, it's also possible that Roy got carried away in the moment (Some of :elan: rubbing off on him) or assumed that Fyron's family died with him (if he had one or if Roy's father ever mentioned it). Maybe Eugene Greenhilt embellished the story a bit, you might do these things if you're focused on them enough to have a Blood Oath of Vengeance.

Also, to quote SoD:

Eugene Greenhilt: "I wove a web of lies"

High chances though that Rich just made an error. Those things happen.

It is possilbe that the son was killed at a different time, perhaps seeking revenge for his father's death, and we have not been shown that.

While the implication is there, it is not stated that they were killed at the same time.

Also consider that we saw the event through one small frame. He could have very much been killed off frame.

Gatekreeper, in Start of Darkness we see the events in greater detail.

I do think it's a continuity mistake.

Not necessarily (or rather, if it is one, it's salvageable).

It could very well be that Fyron's son was killed before Eugene arrived on the scene.

In SoD Fyron was ready to let Xykon go if he gave back the crown. I doubt he would be so forgiving if his son had been killed.

There are several consistancy errors in the strip.

1. Fryon's son
2. The baby in this strip: http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0113.html
(It can't be Julia, there is a 12 year gap between them. So, who is the baby?)

I can't think of any more right now, but I'm sure they are there. Any suggestions?
