Except for that there's a goddess who is in charge of magic but also keeps losing the fancy tablets that make magic work and then dying

Y'know, what's weird is how that isn't particularly difficult.

Jean's died three times. Four, if you count that body-swap thing from right after Claremont left. For a character who's notorious for dying a lot, she's actually relatively low on the scoreboard.

Wonder Man, for example, is at least one up on her.

Not counting dark futures or alternate universes, off the top of my head: "Fall of the Mutants," "Enemy of the State," his current death and resurrection storyline, and maybe half credit for that Jason Aaron story where a demon trapped his soul in hell for a while. Wolverine dies a lot, but it also tends to be in ways that visibly aren't canon.

You could also probably give him half a point for the Marc Guggenheim story from the first Civil War where Logan gets skeletonized by Nitro and gets back up, since that was such a bullshit story that it forced Guggenheim to go back later and write the infamous "Angel of Death" rear end-pull.

Is there a colour theory reference in regards to emotions you guys are making?

It wouldn't be new for me for minor off hand utterances and details to be long ranged foreshadowing considering Bleach had stuff laid out 200-300 chapters ahead at times, like the Upside Down ghost.

It's the Dark One who's powered by fear. The Nordic pantheon is powered by joy. The dead Greek pantheon was powered by disgust. The Twelve Gods are powered by sadness while Marduk's gang is indeed powered by anger.

There are a lot of parts that are good, but the key to enjoying it is not having to wait for the next strip during the parts that aren't.

See if the old fan "animated" and ""voice-acted"" episodes of 8-Bit Theater are still on Newgrounds.

Then don't watch them because I don't use double quotes lightly.
