Always knew Etrigan was a romantic at heart. What woman doesn't want a butchered sheep as an engagement present?

[brooms]

lmao i want him to fall in love with a PETA advocate now

[shadowpsykie]

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

i have no suitable icon... :D

[arilou_skiff]

For some reason I love the demon-priest.

[sinisterlink]

"I killed this sheep for you, let's screw"

Oh Etrigan, you so classy.

You know, just once I wish a guy would slaughter an animal for me in hopes that I'd sleep with him. *sigh*

[filthysize]

This issue was so great. I feel really bad for Xanadu.

And this Vandal Savage continues to be my favorite character of the DCnU.

[benuben]

Me too. Poor girl has to stick with that loser Jason, instead of being with Etrigan 24 hours a day.

Yeah, you can guess which of these stories I choosed to belive :-)

[red_cyclone]

I have to say I'd prefer Etrigan, he's much more interesting.

Ok, actually I rather like the Shining Knight, but that's a whole other story.

I'd have loved if Xanadu's story was her just being happy she has two boyfriends on call. "Why choose? Finding two immortal boyfriends and in one package? Now that's a deal!"

[salinea]

Yeah, that would have been cool.

[pyrotwilight]

"Sure one of them reeks of some of the darkest magics of existence and can be quite a bother, and the other's Etrigan, but you'd be surprised how rare immortal lovers are these days..."

[darkknightjrk]

The whole Xanadu/Jason/Etrigan triangle is definitely one of the more interesting parts of this book--and this issue does a good job at explaining things while still keeping a little grey in there--what if it really is how Etrigan described it? What if they're both telling the truth to a certain degree?

[shadowpsykie]

it would be interesting if both stories had SOME truth, though i don't see Xanadu saying "YOu saved me! I'm so impressed!"

[darkknightjrk]

True--I'm thinking in the way that she loves Jason for being there for her when she was growing up, and for being kind, courageous hero; and she loves the Demon, this dangerous and powerful force of nature that awakens this carnal, arcane side of her.

[salinea]

Yeah, it wasn't exactly a very believable alternative, which does weaken the story.

[shadowpsykie]

i love this book! :D
