scans_dailyMy final contribution to One Perfect Moment week, from New Mutants #8
Since his enforced resurrection by Selene and Eli Bard, Doug Ramsey, alone of all the technorganic bespelled zombies, has retained some sense of self awareness (probably due to his familiarity with technorganic computer code), but since he is under the control of another, he has no chance to provide his own context on the world and has had to watch himself attempt to kill his old team-mates. He keeps asking "What language am I?" but no one can give him a proper answer.
Warlock has faith in his selfsoufriendcypherdoug though, and is determined to bring him back to the land of the living, and has just rescued him whilst taking out the equally resurrected Hellions. Now he knows what he must do...
The soulswords primary power is that it will do no harm to ordinary matter, but will slice through magic like.. well a sword, shredding spells like tissue paper.
The next page has some semi-Freudian imagery which Wertham would probably have hated... So it's all good!
And thus, thanks to the power of a friendship that Doug was actually the one to teach Warlock about years before, Warlock brings his best friend back to himself.
(Oh, and if anyone is interested, clicking on the images will take you to pages on my CAF site, where the original inked pages are up, I HAD to get them when I saw they were available :) )

Thanks for the info, I have been saving up for the big ole Hardcover.
