That was a nice tribute to Frazetta. Any chance you'll do a feature on the proposed memorial for E. Gary Gygax?

http://www.gygaxmemorialfund.com/ I think it's only planned to be a bust of his head, but you could become a major backer and fund the rest of his torso!

This one was great, although I felt a little bit bad for laughing at "Frazetta dislikes stroke" (even though I guess it's technically true).

I really wish I had a van that was worthy of air brushed art. I somehow feel the hood of a VW Beetle wouldn't cut it.

I just found out that Ronnie James Dio died. No more Frazetta; No more Dio. Whatever the opposite of Totally Sweet is, that's how I feel right now.

Create dumb villains, the Marvel way. If there really are three more of these books, are we looking at eight straight updates of one-shot Marvel villains for defunct heroes from the 60's that nobody really remembers? 'Cause I don't think I'd mind one bit. I think I actually recognize one or two of these guys, and I don't even read superhero comics.

I think a couple of these characters were in the old Fashion SWAT for comic books. I always did want to know if the Aquarian was single. I also like that the anagram for the stats is FASERIP.

I sincerely look forward to more. That was hilarious. Maybe more relatable than the hardcore fantasy stuff, if not as insane. But the pictures are all gold.

I agree that Barrier Peaks was the funniest. Seeing Steve and Zach (kinda) play through a module is the most fun. The other updates still have me laughing my rear end off though.

Was the boomerang-themed Australian supervillain really such a compelling concept that both Marvel and DC had to have one?

The Seventies saw a push toward greater use of international characters. However, this was not accompanied by a greater knowledge of foreign countries; without Crocodile Dundee to go by comic makers only had the one thing, so they ran with it. Of course, even if your country did have a well-known national character, you'd still get a clod like Captain Britain.

I hope you guys do these for a long time, there's still plenty of great stuff out there and you could always come back to like Rifts or whatever. I kinda want to see Temple of Elemental Evil just because you mentioned it as being most requested along with two you've already done.

Wait, wait, wait. I know Champion. He was a big villain in a multi-hero crossover or something. He showed up and challenged a bunch of Marvel guys to a boxing match for the fate of their planet. Obviously, he beat up pretty much all of them, proving how awesome and unbeatable and totally strong he is. It's actually a semi-well-known story. At least I know about it and I barely read comics at all. Well, okay, I mostly know it because Dexter's Lab did a parody on that whole thing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XS7hEnDLNJw

I hope you guys can do one of the newer DnD books themed around specific categories of monsters, like Libris Mortis: The Book of Undead or Draconomicon. Actually, I really want to see Lords of Madness, since those have the weirdest monsters. Also, there was this book about half-breed creatures, fantastically titled Bastard Bloodlines, but I can't find any info on it.

Yay, White Plume Mountain! All hail the Inverted Ziggurat Aquarium of Death!  You guys totally forgot to mention that you fight the giant crab inside a magical air bubble surrounded by superheated boiling water. Also the encounter with the vampire in the bullshit magical darkness room. We'll see what the author has to say about this

Monster ecology and the structure of their societies didn't matter until 2nd edition. Monsters existed solely to kill or be killed back in Gary's day.
