Re: OOTS #943 - The Discussion Thread
Also, to keep with previous music recommendations, I think this will be a great wind-down/send off.

I would be shocked if Rich plans to follow up OOTS with another series with the same characters or setting.

Re: OOTS #943 - The Discussion Thread
Er, what? You may be confusing Julio with Tarquin--at no point in any of his appearances has Julio been the centre of attention, and in fact, he's been largely sidelined since the Mechane made its re-appearance. There's no problem at all with him leaving now, and no doubt Julio himself is anxious to avoid the potential "aged mentor gets killed by the Big Bad" storyline he can see himself occupying if he stays with Elan.

Re: OOTS #943 - The Discussion Thread
Indeed.
I actually hope that we end up seeing V's discussion with Roy on panel. There was some conjecture put off when the IFCC gagged V, not to mention how Roy will handle the whole soul-selling thing if details are disclosed. It would be very wordy, but they're words I want to read.

Re: OOTS #943 - The Discussion Thread
OMG that was an hysterical gag
Elan really stole the show this book; All others PGs are beautifully detailed and animated , but are the classics pillar of heroes, (the Warrior, the Wise, The Wizard, The Trickster, and The Action Girl) but Elan to me is really your Original Creation...your masterpiece.

Re: OOTS #943 - The Discussion Thread
I've been looking forward to V coming clean, and the consequences, but I don't think a whole retelling on-panel would be practical. There's just to much to say, even without accounting for V's wordiness. Plus, we already know what happened, so the value of it would be low.
Unless the Giant surprises me. That wouldn't be the first time.

Re: OOTS #943 - The Discussion Thread
Brilliant, Sir Giant, just brilliant. Advance the story, move a potentially story-breaking NPC out of the way without killing them, re-equip a protagonist, and get a great joke in all at the same time.
And possibly a nice little callback to Kazumi and Daigo in #473 as well.
Although I'd kind of have expected Haley to have her arms crossed to go with her irritated expression in the last panel.
Yep, Anarchic is the ability we're looking for. I'm guessing the Chaos Sabre's probably no worse than a +4 (as Elan's previous weapon as a keen +3).

Ah yes! Cardinal rule number 1, before leaving ANY premises go pee first. Specially before flying out. Julio is one sensible dude!

Julio's shenanigans never fail to get a laugh out of me. That second to last panel was priceless.

Re: OOTS #943 - The Discussion Thread
Hm, why would Julio need to go to the bathroom before flying, if he is using flying carpet?

Re: OOTS #943 - The Discussion Thread
Julio used the Chaos Sabre against Tarquin. In the thread of the comic that first showed it, people were asking what a Chaos sabre was and IIRC the Giant said it's an Anarchic weapon but he renamed it so those who don't play D&D would get a better idea of what it was.

RE: the whole speaking behind Elan gag ...
Will a future strip reveal that Julio is actually Kazumi Kato's father?

Re: OOTS #943 - The Discussion Thread
Huh. Usually when I try to predict stuff that's going to happen in the comic, I'm super off-base, but in this case, I did kind of predict Julio's retirement and his handing the Chaos Sabre over to Elan. Now if Elan gets Tarquin's whip and Belkar gets his dagger, I'll be on a streak (that probably won't happen though)!
Also, I'm very curious to see how Roy reacts to V confessing his/her crimes. While I can't imagine Roy tossing out one of his most powerful teammates, V blundered really badly and did some stuff bad enough make Belkar himself blanch.
