That's why the Thuggoth story was so underwhelming...no actual individuals in the story, and the villains are faceless monsters.<br /><br /><i>"what are they going to do? Kill him twice?"</i><br /><br />Well, that's what Geoff Johns did...snellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06181997862745538999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3992648596835959526.post-14866187017869016582018-02-01T07:57:07.652-05:002018-02-01T07:57:07.652-05:00"Yes, I will be dealing with text adventures ..."Yes, I will be dealing with text adventures of Kid Eternity. Because I am a loser."<br /><br />Hey, literacy is <i>cool</i>.<br /><br />My mum told me that.<br /><br />The ending reminds me a bit of a Lovecraft story. 'The thing is so strange and otherwordly that no human can describe it! No really, take my word for it...'<br /><br />George: point. Though maybe it's like Superman - it's not whether he's in deadly peril or not, but whether he can deal with the deadly peril to other people.<br /><br />(Though no amount of false peril the Kid's placed in can put shivers up and down my spine than the possibility that he'll have to sit still and study for all eternity. Or at least a fair-sized chunk of it.)Warren JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11743987856127631574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3992648596835959526.post-13115334723965829642018-02-01T07:48:57.279-05:002018-02-01T07:48:57.279-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Warren JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11743987856127631574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3992648596835959526.post-6395006014373795272018-01-31T22:12:11.682-05:002018-01-31T22:12:11.682-05:00I've read quite a few Kid Eternity stories, th...I've read quite a few Kid Eternity stories, thanks to you making me aware of them, and I think they made it difficult for themselves in one unique way. Drama in a superhero comic is usually obtained by putting the hero into deadly jeopardy = yet Kid is <i>already dead</i> as of his first appearance! Mr. Keeper, too, is beyond harm, being a disembodied spirit. Kid gets KO'd depressingly often, and occasionally put into what appears to be deadly peril, but - come on - what are they going to do? Kill him twice?George Chambershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06837115563034614545noreply@blogger.com
