Well well well, March does get its second batch after all. That doesn’t solve the backlog issue, but it’s much better than just one. Roll call :
- EVERQUEST. Another useful critter – Burynai fighters and the Very Good Power. Necrobadgers !
- GREAT TEN. It’s over, folks ! The August General in Iron closes’ Gareth comprehensive arc about the PRC super-functionaries.
- BLEACH. The biggest name by far in this batch is Ichigo Kurosaki, a detailed entry which logically starts Bryan’s Bleach work.
- REWORK. The following entries have been noticeably improved and clarified through the power of rewriting and heavy metal :
- Vision II (changes made by Gareth)
- A slew of entries I’m not going to mention since the changes are really minor (on the level of one or two typos, a clearer sentence or two, etc.)
- Blackbelt
- Kayo
- Flux (the Dark Horse’s CGW stuff will be reworked eventually, but one thing at a time !)
- Golden Boy (the Dark Horse’s CGW one)
- Lord Alamout
- Madison
- X copycat
- Black Spider I
- Doctor Mid-Nite I
- John Garrett (will be updated soon)
- Battlestone (because writing clearly about such a confusing character takes work)
- The Word (the DCU one)
- Major Victory I and II (changes made by Roy – fixed typos, added new art)
- Silent Majority (changes made by Roy – fixed typos, some new content suggested by Pufnstuff, new art)
- Shockwave (the DC one)
- Whiplash I (writeup #2)
- CLAN DESTINE. Continuing Bryan’s foray through this Alan Davis book, we have Albert Destine — the healer.
- BRÜTAL LEGEND. Heeeeeere’s Eeeedddiiie ! (throws horns, growls something incomprehensible in pseüdo-Norwegian, bangs head, lets WORG contributor Dr. Piispanen starts shredding a güitar solo)
- Gareth introduces Danath the stonefighter from one of his novels, and explains everything about the stones-based magic used therein
- BLOOD SYNDICATE. We’re working on a Dwayne McDuffie homage writeup, but in the mean time let’s improve our Blood Syndicate entries (especially since most of the improvements are something I was supposed to do two years ago…). Thanks to Roy, the following has been overhauled :
- Lady Stilt-Man may have been meant as a joke character, but we actually like her and she definitely gets a writeup
- WONDER WOMAN. We have a huge Wonder Woman arc in the work, but it’s so comprehensive that can you barely tell that most of the characters have a link to Diana. No such problem for Kho, the biggest Wonder Woman fangirl on all of Khundia and now the first Khund to ever become a Green Lantern.
- DIXONVERSE. Another one of those Chuck Dixon street-level villains from the DC Universe. They’re just so useful ! Here’s Slyfox, a gunman and wheelman who’s not quite as cool as he thinks he is.
- Furthermore, a handful of art bits have been borrowed (with full credit, obviously) from rapsheet.co.uk. These are :
- Demogoblin (to replace one of the banners that have been broken since forever)
- Johnny Quick (the Crime Syndicate guy – pre-Crisis and post-Crisis)
- Man-Ape
- Owlman (post-Crisis version)
- Roulette of the Hellions (cleaner version of the shot we used on WORG)
- Lastly, Peter adds another odd post-apocalyptic character to WORG – the Pilot, from a Swedish sci-fi novel you presumably haven’t read.
That’s now 4527 entries. Despite all of our efforts, many squirrels are bored tonight.
