Synopsis:  

Aging telepath Evil Overlord Xander has traded his youthful dream of joining the US military and using his superpowers to benefit humanity for over-the-hill cynicism, self-imposed exile on his private zoo-for-crazy-people Eynhallow Island, and a serious case of May-December midlife crisis.  And technically it's only kidnapping if she tries to leave.

I love how guido can get his point across like, with an eyebrow waggle.  of all the staff, he's the guy who is utterly unbothered by xander's powers.

It's interesting how this is working. I get the feeling Xander was actually distracted before realizing Kore was up to something. So there are some limits to him, after all; at least, that's my impression.

He's human.  I mean he sleeps at night and eats dinner, may have a problematic relationship with alcohol etc.  Also Kore's watching his every move here, so he could just be feigning surprise in order to accelerate his plans.  But I think he's genuinely surprised too...though I think it's by something other than the surface explanation, but I can think of at least three explanations for the surprise...all to be revealed in good time!

It's good you've made Xander human; yes, he has an extraordinary accessory, but with all the human faults the rest of us deal with daily.

nah, look at my new grayscale process.  Leveled up, I say!  I love it when art improvement also equals faster production time!  Real bonus: it takes about 20 minutes per old comic to update the grayscale.  So I can level up this entire 125 comic behemoth in...one standard workweek.

*chuckles*  Yeah... One week.  If life, sleep, food, and Deviant Art don't get in the way. 

I LOVE when my skills level up noticeably!!!  It makes me feel like what I do is worth while.  Of course, it also makes me feel like shit about the stuff I've already done, but you win some you lose some.  I'm so glad to hear you've leveled up!!

Must be awful knowing that everyone hates him and the one he's kind of gotten to like him is slowly slipping through his fingers like sand. :/

Also, what is Thanos/Shane(/whatever his name is) doing with Kore's hand?

InLoveWithSubaruS In reply to Kimiko140 [2017-09-03 23:07:53 +0000 UTC]

I think he is stealing away her energy or something. Like Xander said there's no fixing him, that he's "broken", so what if Xander afraid of the possibility of Shane taking his power away and destroying him. It would certainly explain why Xander isn't trying to help him and keeps him locked up and doesn't want to let Core to him. It's like he know what Shane is capable of doing to them and that she is weak for him so it would be easier to attack her.


Just my theory tho x3

What are Xander's rules when it comes to chefs?
Good call on not doing the spaghetti and meatballs, it's less romantic than you'd think.

hmm... Xander's rules when it comes to staff is that Grant has to handle the details.

So there's no rule about chefs having to wear those hats, speak in fake Italian accents and generally act like broad Italian stereotypes? The Mayor of Teufort is eating Xander's lunch. Both literally and metaphorically going by his track record.
