New one is up.  Belkar has a good point (also, nice theology).

I thought that cleric magic is really supposed to be a cleric just asking their god for something to happen, with the effect channeled through the cleric.
Sort of... The way divine magic is described in DnD they actually channel the god's divine power by way of supplication and achieving "oneness" with their god. You don't even have to worship any god in particular, you can worship a concept, or be pantheistic.

I'm going to predict it right now, Belkar is going to die at the hands of Durkula. Presumably at some point in the future when it's suitably dramatic and ironic to do so.

He's probably going to die right at the moment he would have performed some vital function. That's always the way it goes.

Here's a question: If Belkar was vampired, what do you think would happen?

I suspect either the negative energy construct thing would abandon him because of just how messed up Belkar is, or they'd notice him being nicer.

Or even worse: instead of one dominating the other, they would egg each other on.

We are doomed. It's just that whatever is going to kill us all just happens to be, from a scientific standpoint, pretty frickin' awesome.

Plottwist: Belkar is the evil that Durkon will bring home.

Arguably he's already a progressive, just one in the style of an enlightened Kaiser.
I'm going to do the smart thing here and disengage. This isn't a hill I paticularly care to die on.

No, after he went through the trial where the only thing evil enough to represent his sins was himself, which he made more evil by recounting more evil deeds and then killed and absorbed all that evil power, saving it until 600 strips later where he basically becomes all-powerful, and you're hit with the realization he could've done this anytime he liked.

When I first got to that point, I was confused because it had been so long since the trials I had forgotten about them. And when you think back to all the many, many useful points when he could have used it, it's even more strange.

Two films based on graphic novels that don't get nearly enough love: Scott Pilgrim and Watchmen.  Two very faithful adaptations of incredible comic series.
Is that what we call comics now?

Well, when he finally used it he got to absorb the evil of all those bosses, becoming even more powerful.
