The Cumaean Sybil also made the mistake of asking for vastly extended life without pausing her aging and ended up shriveling up into a bug.wikipedia posted:Although she was a mortal, the Sibyl lived about a thousand years. She attained this longevity when Apollo offered to grant her a wish in exchange for her virginity; she took a handful of sand and asked to live for as many years as the grains of sand she held. Later, after she refused the god's love, he allowed her body to wither away because she failed to ask for eternal youth. Her body grew smaller with age and eventually was kept in a jar (ampulla). Eventually only her voice was left (Metamorphoses 14; compare the myth of Tithonus).[4]

More people should be reading Shiori Experience. So there's this band, right? A teacher and her misfit students who got kicked out of the other music clubs.  Somehow, they managed to squeak their way onto the line-up at the big interschool festival.  Nobody expects anything from them.

Shiori Experience is hitting all the tropes, in a good way. Kurt Cobain just showed up.

Yeah I feel like the lede was buried there considering the protagonist is being haunted by the ghost of Jimi Hendrix who is going to be her guitar mentor.

Also I think he's supposed to be stuck intangible now iirc but hell I can't remember Anyway, Annihilation Scourge - Beta Ray Bill: An evil Dr. Strange from another universe has invaded a peaceful world where Beta Ray Bill and Lockjaw were hanging out.   (before you ask, Lockjaw's fine)

On the exact same wavelength because I thought the same thing when I read that. Somehow this fan favourite character has evaded both overuse and falling into obscurity and whenever he's used (to my knowledge, which is not comprehensive!) they seem to knock it out of the park.

King In Black - Black Knight: The Black Knight wields a cursed sword called the Ebony Blade, forged by Merlin in Camelot. It's cursed because it causes a crazy bloodlust in its wielder and only the pure of heart can resist it. Or so we thought. Dane Whitman, the current Black Knight, has found that the history of his "noble" family line is a lie, the blade's magic only works in the hands of the impure, and it's caused him to freeze up in a mini-breakdown in the middle of a fight. (oh and he's in Shanghai fighting symbiote demons with Chinese heroes Aero and Sword Master)

It's funny that whatever the deal is with Black Knight's dark sword keeps changing. The lamest version of course being a sword that if you ever cut someone with it you get cursed. Why would anyone ever use that as a weapon.
