OK... now it's getting personal.

First Dave Hackett points out that the new "Dial H" series has a villain named "Ex Nihilo"...

...and now Peebz points me to this:

These comic writers are gonna give me a complex! [Wink]

You know what it is, don't you?

It's that damned terminal "O"!

Urthlo, Landro, Nardo, Meglaro, Universo... on and on, a terminal O just predisposes a guy to villany.

Thank god Mama Nihil had the presense of mind to spare me that fate.

Don't forget Mysterio, Kanjar Ro, and Starro.

You should be proud to have left such a lasting impression on comics creators that they want to name villains after you. This begs the question, though, as to what you did to leave such an impression: cut them off in traffic, spill drinks on them at conventions, send them irate fan letters . . .? [Hmmm?]

I'm really surprised there isn't a Batman villain whose real name is Xenophon Nihilo or something. [Hmmm?]

Wolverine's fiance' Mariko was a good gal, but of course she ended up six feet under. It figures.

And whatever happened to Halo? She was all right.

This seems like a classic predestination thing. You can fight it all you want, Ex. You're evil, brother. [No]

Maybe it's one of those "Bruce Gordon" things where I'm mostly good, but the exact combination of elements would bring out that dark side.

Oh, hey... on a completely unrelated note... you'll never guess what I got in the mail yesterday. I think it must have been delivered to the wrong address or something - the package was unmarked and really beat up - but somebody accidentally sent... a black diamond!

Dude... how lucky is that?
